Re: Asus EeePC 2GB Handheld PC

It does appeal to me but I have enough gadgets at the moment.

They're a lot cheaper at Laptops Direct.

Go for the 4GB version, not the 2GB.

My wife is into computers at Huddersfield University and they have bought quite a few of these. They are surprisingly good, although a slightly larger screen wouldn't go amiss for web browsing. The current ones run Xandros Linux. Asus are supposed to be bringing out a Windows version as well, and you can actually put XP on them now. However, this is not recommended because (of course!) Windows slows it down quite a lot. If you can live with Xandros, that's ideal for it.

Go for black rather than white - white gets grubby quickly.

My birthday is in six weeks.
