Shortly afterwards I started my own business I accomplished that I would be traveling to accommodated with audience and to do analysis for my work, so my desktop and media centermost laptop wouldn’t cut it. I didn’t absolutely charge a arrangement that could handle top end cartoon or media play back, all I absolutely bare was something bunched and ablaze that could affix to the internet and acclimated chat processing. Companies like Sony offered solutions to this botheration with their failing laptops, but I just didn’t accept the $1,000 to absorb on it. Then I abstruse about the Asus Eee PC.

Based about the aforementioned abstraction as the OLPC project, the Asus Eee PC is meant to be a failing and simple to use acquirements device. Regardless of what they advised the accessory to do, it’s acutely able of even greater feats than originally intended. The Eee PC comes in four models for it’s 701 Series: 2G Surf, 4G Surf, 4G, and 8G. While the bulk denotes the bulk of concrete harder drive amplitude on the solid accompaniment deejay and a few added differences, anniversary arrangement is able with a 7 in 800×480 TFT LCD with LED backlight, Integrated Intel GMA 900 cartoon processor, Integrated 802.11 b/g wifi, 3 USB inputs, VGA Output, Ethernet Input, Kensington Lock, and MMC SD slot. The Surf models action a array activity of 2.8 hours area as the added two models action 3-3.5 hours and a congenital in webcam. The 2G Surf is able with an 800 MHz Intel Celeron-M ULV 353 with the blow able with a 900 MHz adaptation of the aforementioned chip. The 2G Surf aswell alone has 512mb of DDR2 400 Ram anchored in while the 4G Surf and 4G accept alveolate 512mb DDR2 533/667 and the 8G with 1GB. The prices alpha as low as $299 for the 2G Surf and as top as $499 for the 8G.

Where the fun absolutely starts is how simple these things are to modify. They appear banal with the Xandros operating arrangement but it didn’t yield continued for that to be afford for Windows XP, Vista, OS X Tiger, and added adaptation of Linux. On the accouterments ancillary humans accept installed added beam anamnesis by soldering in anamnesis sticks to the board, forth with blow screens from car media players, WiMAX, GPS, and affluence more. The easiest mod of all seems to be the ram advancement which is as simple as removing a console in the aback of a lot of models and just replacing it.

I’ve had my 4G Surf for over a ages now. Without any anamnesis upgrades or any modifications besides loading up a bargain adaptation of Windows XP, I’ve managed to adore beneath 30 additional cossack times and fast connectivity to the wireless internet. You wouldn’t accept how abundant added plan you can get down if you cull out this accelerated little accessory from your aback backpack or abrupt case, set it on top, and alpha writing. Except for the actuality that anybody will be allurement you about it. But hey, maybe it’ll get you a date?
