I have lugged around many notebooks in my time, and as I am getting a bit
long in the tooth for anything heavy, I ended up getting a 7" Asus EEE-PC.
Was a bit of fun for a while. I actually purchased 4 of them in various
models.  Too small to be usable, so I went onto a EEE-PC 1000H 10".

Finally now I have an EEE-PC1000HE 10" netbook, which I am very happy with.
Claims 9 hours battery life, but I think 7 would be a more legitimate
figure. Can easily add a VGA screen if you wish, or even a USB keyboard and
mouse. Uses N270 or N280 CPU depending on supplier. Upgrades easily to 2Gb,
and with a SATA drive, this can be easily upgraded also.

I figure when this size platform gets enough grunt, it will replace a lot of
standard PC's. When you can easily add your own screen and keyboard, and USB
DVD r/w drive, then a lot of the reasons for people owning a PC in a box,
will vanish.

OK, it doesn't have a real serial port, but I also fear the day is drawing
closer when you will have real trouble finding any notebook with one, and
the world will have to learn how to cope with USB.

Of course, you are also stuck with the netbook graphics system.

Perhaps not perfect, but as things have changed so much in the last two
years, I'm sure we will see similar changes in the next two.

Cheers Don...
