First five minutes actual unboxing... then it gets really interesting.

I want one!

Now who is going to work out Paul's password?

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Unless you plan to come and nick my Eee PC, it'd be pretty pointless ;)

Apologies for the high pitched noise on the vid, I recorded it sat next to my beer fridge :(

[Guest jimbouk]

I thought you were going to give me that for my 2000 posts...

(Not the beer fridge.... I have one of those)

[Guest Subliminal Aura]

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Charming! ;)

TBH I just watched the whole 10mins and found it very interesting ... did you manage to get onto your wireless network using the wifi widget ?

Any chance you can do a part II with App usage ? ;)

[Guest Subliminal Aura]

Just bumping this as someone is too BUSY fiddling with his new toy. ;)

Come on get back to work and video blog us more on the user interface. :(

Paul your video indicates silent running but I thought that the EEE had a chipset fan in it.

Can you confirm if it has a fan / how loud it is.

Cheers

When I put my ear right down next to the vent, I can hear a VERY quiet fan.

Hmmm that quiet fan will become an earsore in a couple of years time.

To BUY or not to BUY that is the question :|

[Guest Monolithix]

Mine has had, lets say, "excessive" use today ;) As such its got quite hot and the fan, while pretty much silent, is just audible...

I counted. Looks like (and guessed)

modaco!

Good video, Paul.

[Guest johnwin]

did Paul say it will run xp? and that the disk in the box has a copy of it? ;)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

The disk has all the necessary drivers, an XP licence isn't included (but does work!)

Have you installed xp on it? what kind of speed odes it manage? I'm guessing it's better to stick with the Linux?

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Monolithix is running XP on his, i'm actually installing Vista on mine right now, lol!

P

[Guest Monolithix]

XP is fine and dandy here ;)

[Guest nevawlkalone]

can i ask what the point of these is...knowing nothing about the etc...

is it just the small size of them that is appealing?

[Guest Monolithix]

The size/price ratio is the primary bonus, yes

[Guest timmillwood]

Paul & Monolithix where did u get yours from?

knowing you two I bet you got freebies.
