The new Asus Eee PC has been a run away success ever since it was launched in the US at the end of 2007. So much so that stocks in the UK have completely run dry with retailers across the country trying to source the unit. At PowerupMobile.com we are working with a number of suppliers to try and get hold of the device as soon as possible and fulfil our pre-orders.
In the mean time we have found a quick online demo that lets you see roughly what the Asus Eee PC can do out of the box:- http://www.honeypothack.com/eee/...
The Asus Eee PC is an ultra mobile PC, a laptop like device only smaller, the unit is 22cm x 16cm with a 7" screen. Instead of running Windows or Mac OS X it uses an operating system based on the open source platform Linux called Xandros.
It's been customised for the Asus Eee PC to only include a simple tab based menu with sections for:
- Internet
- Work
- Learn
- Play
- Settings
- Favourites
- Help
Under each are a group of associated applications or web site links represented by large bold cartoon like icons. Pre installed applications and links include Mozilla Firefox web browser, web based email, Skype, instant messenger, word processor, spreadsheet, PDF reader, media player, photo and video album, games and web cam to name just a few.
All in all it's a light weight system that does the basics, is easy to use, keeps you connected and is ideal for travelling or to get your quick fix of emails or web browsing - it boots in about 20 seconds. At around the £200 mark it is also exceptional value for money. To ensure delivery as soon as stock becomes available we recommend pre-ordering the Asus Eee PC now to avoid disappointment. Lead time can be up to 4-6 weeks depending on availability.
