I’ve been sorta fascinated with the little Asus Eee PC netbooks, reading Dave Winer’s experience with them, and just this week i saw that Target, of all places, is carrying them too.
I used an iBook for 6 years until the screen died about a year ago, and then a very used titanium Powerbook that also had a bad screen, but i’m now on a desktop computer again. It’s really nice having a laptop, but of course i don’t have a spare $1k+ sitting around. So the idea of a $300 laptop that’s just good enough to browse online is really appealing; it’s pretty much all i’d want a laptop to do anyway. Solid state would be nice too, in a house with pets and kids and me knocking things over.
Anybody have one of these? Are the keyboards annoyingly small? Is the screen large enough to be usable? (i’d get at least the 9″ version)
