I got my eeePC!

Posted by Paul McConnon Thu, 08 Nov 2007 21:10:00 GMT

I eeeventually (har har) got my eeePC delivered and I love it.

I already have it pimped out with full-blown Kde and Ruby on Rails, although the included range of software was amazing. You get Amarok music player (I prefer it to ITunes) Photo editor and manager, Open Office, Firefox and Thunderbird and tonnes of other applications all of which look very polished.

Here’s the welcome to rails page!

It’s a fast little fecker for the size, plays DivX without issues. I get about 2 hours of battery when I’m running with WiFi and working it hard. The thing gets surprisingly hot while running, but I suppose that’s to be expected when you cram so much into such a small space.

The keyboard is just big enough for two handed typing and the build quality is very sturdy. As it’s all solid state you don’t have to worry about bangs ruining your hard drive.

All in all I’m very pleased with it and happy to have a computer I can take with me wherever I go.

ps. This article was posted on it, including image editing and secure copying to my website…
