Not about sales but about shopping



The Asus EeePC updated

I bought an Asus Eeepc when it was fairly new. To show you now new it was, I was running on the Linux version with 4GB hard drive and 7″ monitor. Ancient? And yet, it is only less than a year old!

I popped by an Asus store last week and felt like crying when I saw the latest EeePC laptop offerings.

Not only is the screen wider, it now runs on Windows XP and has up to 30G of space on its harddrive and up to 7 hours battery life. I felt like crying :( It also comes in swanky white.

Price wise, of course, there’s a large difference. I bought mine for about RM1200 and the new ones that run Windows XP are about RM2000 and up. That said, I did see one running on Windows XP that had slightly lower specs for about RM1500 or thereabouts. Am I jealous? You bet!!

All that said though, I do like my EeePC for its portability. Nevermind the small space (i never store anything on it) or the small screen (its not meant to replace your regular laptop or desktop) or the short battery life (the charger is smaller than some phone chargers). Its still mine! :)
