Putting my money where my mouth is

[ICE]

Go read or watch some review of it somewhere. If you dont want a subnotebook thats great but its not cheaply built crap. The thing runs better than my dell laptop that retails for more than twice its price.. I wanted an ultraportable laptop and this thing is perfect.

I've been thinking of getting an EEE PC, have Linux (Kubuntu) on it. I'll wait it out for the 9 inch screen one (is it that one that's next?). I just need to save some more £££ then I'll be set when it arrives.

A few stickers can really make it look different cant it?

Anyone?

Trivium you may think thats funny but actually its just childish. Stop derailing my thread with juvenile garbage like that.

EDIT: Did you seriously make that picture just to make a lame joke? Ok... Someone has too much free time..

Yeah, the 9in is the next model. The KDE desktop may be a little slow on the EEE though. You may want to check into using fvwm and one of it's themes (fvwm-crystal, for one, is beautiful, fast, and simple: eyecandy+functionality+speed). Then again, it's all a matter of personal preference.

Look to spend between $400-$600 USD depending on storage space (8GB and up to 20GB).

I was in Dixons yesterday and the wife was tempted by the Eee PC, but right next to it was a lappy for just over a hundred quid more that absolutely blew the Eee PC specs right out of the water.
It just doesn't seem value for money to me tbh.
Maybe I need a "test-drive"...

@the_eternal_dark: I prefer the KDE desktop and the boot screen. It does not however prevent me from using other desktop software like Gnome though so I may try out what you've said.

Who's being "defencive"? Im just telling you not to derail my thread with childish stuff like that. This is a serious thread so try to keep it that way.

three 'E's cant be serious?

Should have waited for the 9inch model, a screen the same size as the top panel makes sense. Other than that it definitely seems you get what you pay for, both ways.
