my new laptop! its just right.

yep and it has the new intel atom processor, faster than the 900.

cheers phil

Nice. Great for offroad duties, as you say, because of the solid state internals.

I use my 701 for astronomy - again, out in the field where HD's just hate it at sub-zero temps.

I wish I had the larger screen, but I bought mine when the 4Gb 701 was the latest. It was running Xandros when i bought it, but is now running XP SP3.

These are incredibly versatileunits, and are a hackers dream. I've even seen a few running MacOSX.

LOL! Great stuff.

oddly enough they dont like being used upside down... and prone to overheating it appears.

i have already had a few thru here looking for cooling solutions for them.

i have based my car computer prototype on this cpu and it certainly does a good job.

i used shopbot to find the best price, and then bought it fm shopping square. tipical though! its already 50bucks cheaper to buy 2 weeks on....

oh and omaroo, you can get upgraded screens for the 700's i think, they have started to do plug in touch screens for the 900 and 901. i found most of them on ebay just searching for eee pc 901.

cheers phil

Hi Phil
what running system did you get with your eee pc 901 Windows or GNU Linux.
Thanks George.

windows...
i wanted linux but oziexplorer isnt easy to set up for linux:( i dont have much time for fiddlin with pc's so the easy option was windows.

ozieexplorer is installed and working, just need a bluetooth gps and nanocom works a treat also:)

cheers phil

Been wondering about them myself. Good to hear they can do the job.
