[lbo-talk] clicker thingy

[Wojtek S]

[WS:] I second.  I've been using Eee Pc 1000HE which boast 9.5 hours of
battery life (in reality it is more like 7.5 hrs) and currently it is my
main machine of the 3 that I have (other being a desktop and a laptop).
Other advantages are the small size, weight, and price (I paid for mine $375
plust $25 for additional 1GB of memory).  I am running Office 2003, SPSS,
Photoshop elements among others and they run pretty smoothly.  The thing is
a bit slow on battery power, but it is a part of the energy saving scheme.
However, I am a light user of graphics and no games - my guess is that on
graphics heavy applications performance would be disappointing.  Mine is
running Windows XP, but I believe Linux is also available.

And one more thing - I selected the 160GD hard drive instead of 40GB solid
state drive (available on slightly different models.)  A friend of mine who
is a computer geek compared both and believes that the solid state is
disappointing.
