My New Toy

I gave myself an early Christmas gift this year. In some circles, though, that might be called “spending without discretion.” :) My laptop became mostly useless to me after it decided that it no longer wanted to recognize its own internal hard drives (even working ones), so it gave me the excuse I’ve been looking for to give it the boot and to finally buy one of these things.

ASUS Eee PC 1000HA

So far, my experience with it has been very positive. It’s a surprisingly sturdy, fast, and easy to use machine for its size and weight. I actually bought my old notebook used a couple years back and had added more RAM to it, and this little machine actually feels faster. It comes with Windows XP Home, but currently I am dual-booting with Ubuntu Eee , which I’m primarily using. I’ll probably put up more impressions later.
