The Asus Eee PC 2Gig Surf

I got this little gem about a week ago. Ordered it through Red Barn Computers, did not pay tax, just $7 shipping/handling. Received it in a week.

Eeepc is quite nice. I love the size and the weight of it. The fact that it comes with linux is wonderful. I did have an issue with the simple gui, so I researched found some very helpful sites. I was able to change the simple gui to the advanced gui. I installed Opera to help with the zoom feature, it helps to be able to view the entire webpage and then zoom in where I want to read.

Currently I use it just for surfing, email, and dnd. Dnd, I use it to access information quickly using the pdf reader and the books that are in pdf. I also use it to do some simple editing on images. The screen is only 7", but I can still view a slide show if I need to. It's fast. I think I will try to install Picasa.

Later,
Carlos
