What's Asus Eee PC for?

It's portable and only Php 17,000. RG the gadget addict showed me his new Asus Eee PC last night and now I wish I have one too! I already knew about this mini laptop that runs on Linux and open source applications but I said, what's the point? Until I experienced it last night.



The ultra portable laptop stays true to it's motto: Easy to learn, Easy to work, Easy to play. It conveniently fits in my mini backpack that I use everyday, it has wi-fi for internet chores, webcam for videos and communication, and Open Office for writing and spreadsheets.

It's not an alternative to a laptop since it's only 4GB but is expandable through an SD card. Think of it is an internet gadget which goes in-between a laptop and a cellphone or simply your "kill some time and try to be productive" gadget. Imagine, your boyfriend is suddenly stuck in traffic and you have to wait hours before he arrives, you're at a cafe with free wi-fi and instead of wasting hours why not reduce your emails or blog while waiting? Situations like these are unpredictable and that's why you need a portable laptop just like Asus Eee PC which should now become a permanent tenant in your bag joining your cellphone, digicam, and Ipod.

This blog entry just made me convince myself, maybe i'll get one next year in one of these colors:

Gadgets, you make my world go 'round.
