As many of you know from my past posts, I have been posting about umpc and internet devices like the nokio 810 for sometime. Well I finally bought an eeepc 4GB version with WindowsXP.
It has surpassed my wildest expectations for such a device. It so much more capable than I could have expected. I was hoping just to code and surf, but it really is pretty good at multi-tasking.
I will attach a few screenshots showing thinBasic and 2 benchmarks.
The resolution is set to the default 800x480. You can make it any resolution with virtual desktop, that is the view is 800x480 but you can scroll around a much bigger desktop for instance 1600x900. You can also turn on scaling and run up to 1000x600 which is not good for all day computing, but if you want to see it all in one screen, it is nice.
Anyways my dreams for such a device have finally been met... I was wishing for something like this that could be as fun as it was when I had my HP 100LX, the dos based palmtop with lotus 123 on it too. Back then I had turbo c on it and it was fun to program while out.
But this eeepc is as easy to take and use and the quality is really surprising for such a price.
