What Do You Want To Know?

What kind of reviews or information do you want to know about the Eee?  I plan on doing as many reviews and tutorials as possible and as time allows, but would like some ideas on what other people want to know.  Do you have any concerns or worries about the device?  Are you thinking about buying one but have a couple of unanswered questions?  Let me know and I’ll see what I can do.  I am planning on enabling the advanced mode very soon and then on to different linux distros, so if you have any questions about the default setup be sure to let me know.

First Eeempressions

Ok, in three words…”I love it!” The Eee is small, light, extremely portable, and seems to be the perfect mobile companion. Unfortunately, I had Reserve duty this weekend, so I didn’t get a chance to spend much time using it yet. (I did forgo sleep on Friday night to do some basic stuff: set up wireless, type a little in OOo (OpenOffice.org), and surf the web. I played a whole bunch of YouTube clips and it appears that my battery life is very close to the estimated 2.8 hours. I’ll get to know it better as I try some of the power saving suggestions like turning off the wireless, muting the speakers, etc. At any rate, here are a few pictures from Friday night.

The Eee’s In Town

Eee Mockup

Two questions come to mind that I will answer before you all ask:

1) Yes I am excited about getting my Eee
2) Yes, I do have too much time on my hands!

Allow me to present you with my cardboard Eee mockup, courtesy of an available box, a ruler, a few dimensions and a black Sharpie…
