I got my eee pc!
Just as I predicted I now have a brand-new Asus eee pc just in time for the joys of exam week! As a matter of fact, I'm typing this update on it right now.
First impressions are VERY favorable. It runs right out of the box. The startup time is ridiculously fast. The system is remarkably responsive.
The keyboard, as you might expect, is miniscule. My hands, as you might know, are not miniscule. The small size of the keyboard does cut down on my maximum typing speed. But otherwise, it isn't too bad; I just have to remember to curl my fingers to get the tips right up on the keys--kind of like playing Bach on the piano.
This is pretty much what I want in a portable device. If this can work with the university wireless, then I'll be in hog heaven.
