Laptops :: Asus Eee PC Laptop

Ya, but 150%? Do you think the price will come down for the rest of europe?

Hi everyone.
Arrgh these are very tempting indeed to run DSL! I am in the UK as well...rip off Britain! You are lucky if you are over in the states.

It only booted 640x480 .....but I could live with that. Let's hope someone can get the wireless working with it in DSL.
Near silent really portable mini laptops....with a nice fast OS. It would be interesting to see how well a Celery 900 works in this context.

I played with their XO OS under virtualization... that small resolution became very painful after a few minutes of surfing the web. They really need to increase it to 800x600, otherwise it's not at all comfortable for the most obvious reason an adult might want it. It's one thing to scroll pages up and down, but having to scroll every page you visit from side to side for each line of text you want to read is very, very tiring.

That's interesting John. I wondered what they were like (The XO's). I agree there's nothing more frustrating that side scrolling when reading web pages. And from what I've read they can't play You Tube....what a shame...

I did wonder if DSL would run on an XO....

I read a rumour in trusted reviews...a 10 inch version of the EEpc next year...we'll see.

I'd love a portable solution that didn't cost the earth...with 1024x768 running DSL using solid state or compact flash storage.

Hi blip,
