Netbook review
Oct. 4th, 2009 01:00 pmComing up on four weeks with EEK, so it's time to post a review. EEK is my ASUS EEE PC Netbook (model 1005-HAB for the geeks.) 2 lbs, 10" inch widescreen, 1GB memory, 160GB HD, Windows XP with MS Works, WiFi, webcam and Skype. $299 at Best Buy.
Bottom line-- I like it a lot. It was great to have on the bike trip, and it's the perfect size for taking along when I want to write in the cafe, or bookstore. Because it's a backup machine, there are no personal files stored on here--no financial records, no email, nothing that I couldn't bear to lose. Any files I'm working on get put on the thumb drive and plugged into the USB port.

I can't see this as a primary workstation, but as a backup for occasional use it's perfect, and I'm really glad I treated myself to this new toy. Highly recommended.
