ASUS EEEPC after three weeks of use
I have been using the ASUS EEEPC for the last couple of weeks, I love the pc but I went back to using a Macbook. Here are my reasons
1. Large amount of typing is not comfortable (I really tried doing it until it was uncomfortable for my wrist)
2. The screen seems much too small for some applications (menus spill over the screen and you can't see the buttons). Again using it for a longer time was not so comfortable for my eyes.
3. Moving between the Windows was troublesome (no expose like feature). I really needed the mouse to make it comfortable.
I would still use the EEEPC if I am going to be backpacking for couple of days and don't need to type for a longish time. ASUS is a great cheap notebook but in my opinion it is not a very comfortable to use sub notebook unless you are going to be using in short bursts.
EEEPC is the third small notebook I have tried after a Kohjinsha and a ASUS R2H tablet. For each of these devices after a couple of days I moved back to the Macbook. I always wished for a lighter Macbook and am willing to forgo the CD and Ethernet which I hardly ever use. The only think I wish is that they future Air have a HSDPA modem built in. I am looking forward to trying out the Air.
