Before too long, I am going to be saying goodbye to my precious Eee PC 701 netbook. I can still remember how excited I was when the delivery guy brought it into my office and I opened it for the first time–it was so SMALL! It has served me well for a little over a year, but it is time for me to upgrade to something that fits my needs a little bit better.
Honestly, if I had known how the netbook craze would blow up, I probably would have held off on the Eee 701 to see what else was introduced before I threw down the cash. It’s not that I am really unhappy with my Eee, but as the newer netbooks have been introduced, it quickly became apparent that maybe it wasn’t the best fit for me. The size is perfect–it’s really the kind of laptop I can just toss in my bag and go. But for a power user like me, it’s a bit underpowered and the screen is too small. If I relegate it to just surfing the web or writing the occasional post or bit of my novel while I’m out and about, it’s great…but now that I’ve seen what some of the newer netbooks can do, I want more. I’d also like more storage, a slightly bigger keyboard, and better screen resolution. Oh, and having a hackintosh netbook wouldn’t be so bad…I want my MacBook Tiny!
I feel a little disloyal to my pretty pink Eee PC, but I am hoping it will be going to a good home very soon where someone can appreciate it. Next week, I will be ordering a Dell Mini 9 and I cannot WAIT to receive it. Eee PC, you’ve been great, but it’s time for us to go our separate ways.
I am looking for a clean and ite magazine style theme for wordpress without too many function calls, any suggestions?. thanks in advance
