Gadget of the week... Eee PC 900

eee pc 900
So we have established that I am a bit of a geek, I cannot deny it. Therefore it is my duty as a geek and a purchaser of gadgets to discuss this publicly, mostly because I can.

So I saw this little cutey in the shop and decided that I had to have it... mostly for the geek factor.. that is "Wow, Lyn, that is so cool!" , "yeah I know"

Am I happy? definitely for the geek factor but the machine itself "which I affectionately labelled 'handbook' - well it kinda miffs me. It's a tad slow and I can't get secure wireless working at uni which is really the only place I will use it! It has a 900mhz processor, 1 Gb ram and 30 gb harddrive under the hood and I think it s the processor that's the factor here.

But hey the geek factor gives me a buzz... and I got a free 120Gb hard drive with it. Thinking of giving it a spin with ubuntu, maybe that will make me happier. Will let you know.
