This is basically the point. The EEE was built for the basics. I want one just for school. It’s perfect. I don’t have to lug around a huge laptop just so I can type and surf the web. If I really need more space I always have my external drive.
And the price is the cherry on top. Sure you can get an iPod touch for about the same but it’s not a full-blown personal computer (yes it’s got the browser and whatnot). But having a small laptop w/XP means you can download whatever software you want (cain & abel ;D) and a “qwerty” keyboard, mousepad (?), ports, etc.
Ah like it. Ah like it allot. :)
Follow up: It’s nice with a small laptop for school, but the big downside with the EEE is in my opinion the disk space. Of course, you can use a USB-disc but then again, the school probably have computers… You probably have a better computer at home and I believe you can send e-mails with the iPod (and other mobile devices too ofc).
I must say there’s one positive thing with the EEE, and that’s because of its hype: more companies are making ultra-portable computers now, both cheap and more expensive.
I love the idea of the Macbook Air from Apple but it’s a shame that it’s so damn expensive.
