Eee PC Envy, is your Drive Big Enough!

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Oct 11 2008 - 27 views

One of the things that put me off getting a netbook, was storage, will it be big enough to do what I want to do with it? Will it provide satisfaction?

a lot of the earlier EeePc models, offered limited SSD storage, which leaves you dependent on memory card expansion, for a real storage solution.

Well now there’s a real Viagra solution for your EEEPC that wont get you the little finger flip, and will up your size for a reasonable price as well!

These drives will come in 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB capacities, selling for $53, $79, and $149 respectively. They will offer a maximum read speed of 40 MB/sec. and a maximum write speed of 15 MB/sec.

Unlike some other NetBooks, you can upgrade a Eee without voiding your warranty.

Eee PC 1000H Unboxed!

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Oct 05 2008 - 151 views

After what may have seemed like some internal musings yesterday, and some opportune discounts, and a forgotten gift voucher from last Christmas, I picked up the Asus Eee PC 1000H today. The original price on the Eee box reads AU$ 647.00, and I ended up coughing up AU$ 520.00 [US$ 404.00] for the unit. Of course I went for the black unit, I just couldn’t see myself with a white computer, looking like a Mac wannabe.  I haven’t even booted it up yet, I’ve just unboxed it, and stuck it on the charger, I’m prepared to wait… for a wee bit, but all the lookyloos you like are after the link…

Tossing up Idea’s!

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Oct 04 2008 - 19 views

I’m in a muddle, EEE PC 1000H, Touch Dual, or HTC Touch Cruise. All around the same price, Touch Cruise = WM 6.1, Touch Dual = WM 6, and I can get a display EEE PC 1000H for AU$ 598. Yeah I’d prefer a Diamond, or the Touch Pro HD, but considering my location, and the availability of devices not under contract, my choices are as above. I’m leaning towards the Eeepie, but I’m enamoured with the touch dual. Who wants’  to let me know which of these three devices will get me more bang for my buck?

 

Thanks to Jack for the Cruise News!!!

 

Let me know what you think in the comments, I’m about ready to pull the trigger
