The Asus Eee PC
The Asus Eee PC is a cute little number and comes in various models. The Wife was looking at them today, and I came across this Popular Science article on hacking them: a simple hack is to increase RAM from 512KB to 2GB, an intermediate hack is to change the OS—go to full Linux or switch to Windows XP or to Mac—and an advanced hack is to add USB ports and a Bluetooth adaptor. Most valuable were these links:
EeeUser.com — news announcements and the like
EeeUser Forums — users trading tips and reviews
Eee PC Wiki — many useful articles and notes
The newest model, which will shortly be available in the US (and has already been released elsewhere) is the Eee PC 900, and here’s a review of it.
