This little guy is VERY similar to its Linux counterpart with the following specs:
- Intel® Celeron® M processor with 400MHz frontside bus and 900MHz processor speed
- 512MB DDR2 memory for multitasking power
- 7″ WVGA TFT-LCD widescreen display with 800 x 480 resolution
- 4GB flash-based hard drive; shock-proof design
- Intel® UMA graphics with up to 64MB shared video memory
- Built-in Web cam
- 3 high-speed USB 2.0 ports
- Built-in high-speed wireless LAN (802.11b/g); 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN (with RJ-45 connector)
- Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Not bad for $399 if you ask me and based upon my experience with the Linux eeePC that I installed Windows XP on the performance is perfectly acceptable for a secondary travel laptop.
I purchased the linux powered edition for my sister for christmas. I’m waiting for a larger screen and I’ll get one of these for myself. it’s a perfect tool for IT users on the go and bloggers.
I agree about the larger screen. 7 inch is just a little to small but 10 is just about right:)
Dan anymore info on running on yours?
Or maybe some video, PLEASE:)
Well the 8.9in model is set to be out in may or june. same spec system, cept larger screen(1024 x 600), 1gb ram and larger HDD
ya also got the 9” eeepc
seems pretty sweet to me
