Eee PC review I
I got my Eee PC today. Yeah!
I always think those small sony notebook is cool and wanted to buy one, unfortunately, it is very expensive in the past. I really can't convince myself to spend money on it. With the new Eee PC, the price and the functionality look very reasonable to me.
I got my Eee PC with the following spec:
- 100H (10' monitor + WinXP)
- 160G harddisk
and it is less than 500 dollars included Tax.
I am planning to write a series of review for my Eee PC. So, if you are planning to buy one, it may be useful for you.
From my first test drive yesterday. My feeling is mixed and here is why
What I did:
- Install all window update
- un-install skype, build in antivirus software
- Install a lot of software...
Pros:
- Appearance of the machine look cool.
- Machine is reasonably fast, at least I feel it is faster than my wife machine.
- It is window XP, I know how to use it
- It is the first time I am excited about a new computer.... (I have like at least 20+ computer before. Why? Because this computer look like a toy. ^_^)
Cons:
- Build in keyword is funny, I like to use the right "Shift" key when I am typing, now, I always accidentally hit the "Page Up" key when I am typing because the "Page Up" key is in the location of the "Shift" key.
- Build in mouse is too sensitive. Probably I have a big finger, the mouse seem to be moving around when I am trying to "click"
- The build in screen resolution seem to be the best one, when I trying to change it, I can't get a full screen...
Planning to do?
- install onecare, defender, etc
- Configure the computer the way I like
