If I am going to need something that can get me online, do some assignments (words, excel, etc), music and movies, mild downloading, is EEE PC something for me?

eeePC 701 or eeePC 900? What are the differences?

Does it able to stand the heat? As in if I use it for 24/7.

No, you didn't mention mobility at all, so I don't think the EEE PC is something for you. Get a cheap laptop - it's much more comfortable to use.


Added on May 18, 2008, 8:53 amI'm currently using my EEE to do casual ebook reading on-the-go. Still haven't setup PPP on it so I can't use 3G yet.. but it should be soon wink.gif The battery life is really a big problem - it doesn't feel like I'm getting 2 hours out of this thing. Besides, it drains battery very quickly while under suspend mode.

Ah, yes. Mobility is the most important part!! rclxms.gif

OK, if you think so wink.gif

I suggest that you at least get a USB keyboard+mouse to use when you're docked at a desk.

Using the EEE sure gets me funny looks on the streets. A fair number of people have come up to ask me about it. Finally got 3G hooked up through my Nokia today, and it's starting to fulfill my expectations wink.gif

Actually, it is my girlfriend who wants to get one. She is going to study abroad. That's why she is currently looking for a light-weighted notebook which serves the purposes that I stated earlier. tongue.gif

My gf is still not sure whether she will like to take the EEE PC 900 as the price is slightly higher than 700. Is 700 enough for her? Hmm..

Actually, is 900 worth the extra hundreds?
