Asus' Eee PC: Cute, Compact and Convenient - but Limited
Like many frequent travelers, I like to take a computer when I'm on the road, but I hate having to lug around a bulky laptop. Unfortunately, most products out there (including Apple's new MacBook Air, which I plan to review) cost too much for my budget.
That's why I was excited about the Eee PC, a 2-pound laptop that ranges in price from US$300 to $500 depending on the configuration. This mini laptop debuted in the U.S. late last year and has been gaining fans and selling briskly on Amazon.com ever since. It's made by the Taiwanese company Asus.
The Eee PC has a 7-inch screen and runs on the Linux operating system, though you can install Windows XP if you are technically inclined. The three "e's" stand for the computer's slogan, "Easy to Learn. Easy to Work. Easy to Play."
