First Impressions of EEE PC

I believe my EEE PC purchase was an overall good one. I find it helpful for typing and doing limited internet related tasks. Very pleased. A few points:

I have skinny and long fingers so the keyboard works fine for me. Those with short or chubby fingers may look for a bigger keyboard.

The 10in screen is bit small. It is hard to look at and navigate at times but I normally do not use it long enough for that to be a problem.

Battery life is pretty good. Probably would last a lot longer if I turned off the wireless. I mostly use my ipod touch for viewing web pages on the go so that works fine. Haven't drained it myself but I haven't had to panic about it.

Linux is a bit limiting with is good since I only use it for typing and surfing. If I had the money I'd prefer a macbook air but the price is less than a forth of the macbook air.

My biggest problem with the EEE PC is that it takes to long to automatically connect ot the internet. Doing it manually all the time is a bit of an inconvenience.

Once I get to play with this guy more I will let you know but so far I am very happy.
