Tell me all about them. The good, the bad, the ugly. I need a new laptop to run linux/ubuntu for work software. Nothing fancy to play games with/not a desktop replacement. Guy I know has an Asus EEE and it looks pretty cool.

If you don't have anything constructive to add, I'll kill you and ban you and then punch your pet.

I want an EEE, for a similar reason as you; to have a linux computer that's mobile.

I don't know a whole lot about them, though. I know they have bad resolution on the monitors and their hard drive space isn't good because it basically has a flash drive for an hdd.

But it does make them quiet and cool. Fast for file operations.

I wouldn't expect much from it if your work software needs much in the way of resources.

But for web and word processing it would be great.

Edit: I think some of them might come with traditional hard drives. Not sure, though.

I wouldn't buy anything with SSD yet. The technology is unproven and was rushed into market well ahead of its schedule. For instance, attempting to defrag a SSD can permanently ruin it. For the price of most EEE pcs, they aren't worth it.

However, if you find yourself just chomping at the bit to get one, try this EEE:

It is under $400, has 1GB of ram and 160GB HD. It also comes with XP and a ridiculously-long 7 hour battery.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.

      I'm more of a Hornets fan than I am a Panthers fan, I've watched a ton of this franchise the last 20 years. I post all day on RealGM. Don't get your hopes up, this is setting us up for a 20 point loss to the Heat and a swift end to the season. Spoelstra has always solved us, the Heat have two bigs that we have no answers for, and Jaquez is a certified Hornets killer that always plays us like he has a grudge on us. The Hornets being a top 10 team all year and a top 5 team the last half of the year and then flat out missing the playoffs is incredibly on brand for this crappy, horrendous franchise. I would love to be proven wrong. But I've suffered enough to know this little scheme the team is pulling. We finished 2 games out of 6th and guaranteed playoffs, and we blew two games to the Pacers and Nets earlier in the season, when they weren't trying to win. It's just who we are, Hornets DNA
