how much?
I've got a 4G 7XX-series. I often think that I should have waited for the larger screen, but this one does everything I need. It's mostly used as a word processor. I bought it to replace my old HP Jornada 820 (Win CE Jupiter clamshell PDA). The interface is not as limiting as I expected it to be. I tweaked it to get to the full desktop, and then turned the standard UI tabs back on and haven't messed with it at all since.
anyone here have any opinions on this little guy?
i know the 901 is coming out any day, but that's a whole new ball park.. i'm talking about the $200-$300 900 series models..
anyone got any hands-on experience/thoughts/comments on these?
yes i'm a dork, yes i have one. :clown:
Getting ready to hit some sweet trails?
cool.
the larger screen models are nice, but for 600-700 you have so many other options when it comes to laptops. i also have a 17" lcd toshiba laptop i just got from buy.com for $389 (2gb ram, 160gb hd, dvd r+w, 2.0ghz, etc), but that's just too big to lug around all the time. great laptop and great price otherwise.
i dont know, i end up using my computers as just terminals to work on software most of the time anyways, with the only other things i do being mainly just email and running an IDE for java stuff.
thats about it.
i think the Eee would be a SWEET trail computer! :Banane09:

I would love to have one of those little guys. My laptop just crapped out I think. I will stick some pics up soon maybe it can be fixed.
laptops are really coming down in price nowadays. i'm liking it. i've bought two in the last month alone. :cool2:
couple that with a good phone (i have an htc mogul running windows mobile) and life is good! i'm pretty dam productive these days, i must say.
plus, there's nothing like watching a movie on your phone (or 7" laptop) on an airplane. you can just hear the other people in your aisle hating you inside their heads the whole time. :bow28:

ASUS makes mother boards for damn near everyone.
I was actually lookingf at one of their full sized laptops at best buy. I wanted it, but then they fed me some line of crap about it being only availible online insteadf of in the store. I was like WTF man... theres one right here. I ended up getting an Acer.

Saki you need to open this page up on your laptop next time your on a plane. Make sure people can see it though.
Just raise your head and start chanting after you click it.

i have it just set to use wep and mac filtering right now, no wpa, but, i figure for the few minutes at a time i'm somewhere using it, that should be enough.
the biggest problem with the software is that its a DRAIN on the battery, but i have 2 extra batteries for my phone so its not that big a deal.
i love the fact that batteries for the htc mogul are like $10-$15 on ebay. :headbang:
dude it would be funny.. but they'd probably shoot me for real! :dead1:
imagine if i still had the beard and the shaved head! :439:
