Damn… I regret having an impulse purchase on my Asus EEEPC 4G 701 UMPC now that a new EEEPC 900 has been released for a whopping Php25,000 with either 12gb or 16gb and has 8.9″ screen with 1024 x 600 resolution and already WinXP. And now that this Acer Aspire One have been introduced (in Japan).. I’m regreting even more… I doubt this will be released here though. More info here.

Went to hunt for a 2Gb DDR2 memory for my NotebookPC and wireless mouse yesterday till today.
I’ve hunted down 4-5 computer shops but didn’t see any good wireless mice as I was searching Logitech brands and no 2Gb memory..and I ended up buying an 80Gb Maxtor Basics portable HDD which costed me Php3,000.00 and there’s also a 160Gb of the same brand which costs Php4,200.00 which I can say it’s slightly cheap considering that I have and still using the 100Gb Maxtor 3.5″ external HDD which costs Php 5k+ last October 2006. Just making sure that I back-up everything from my almost-2-years-old portable external HDD in caseof its sudden death just like my second 3.5″ external HDD which is now DEAD and the current 2.5 external HDD is almost running out of space already. There are lotsa important stuffs there… currently owning 3x 3.5″ external HDD including the dead one and 2x 2.5″ external HDD.
Currently on my gadget want-list.. A Sony Walkman Video MP3 Player NWZ-A826K/B.
Although it has only 4Gb of memory, I really want it cuz I get to connect it with my Bluetooth headphones which I got moons ago.. but the price is still tight at Php15,999 or Php16,000. orz. This guy has the 16GB version of this model…

Finally, made a “mini” review on this coolsome gadget. These pics were taken 2 weeks ago but been lazy to post review.
Anyway, got this coolsome “Toy” some weeks ago during my one-day vacation to Cebu City. Reason why I had to buy this little guy is that it is really useful when traveling without lugging a huge 14″ laptop around. This is just 7″, got it? 7″…
Specs:
[Model Name: Eee PC 4G] [OS: Linux Xandros; WinXp compatible] [Processor: Celeron M 900 Mhz] [Storage: 4G Solid State Drive] [Memory: 512mb] [Other stuff: Wifi, Hi-Definition audio, Stereo speaker, Microphone, Camera, 3x USB Port, etc] [Weight: 0.92kg] [Battery: 4 Cells, 2.8~3.5hrs*]
Now, getting to the point of this review:
The box. It is small at about 10-11in.
Contents inside the box…
Exterior views
7in Eee Pc vs 14.1in Aspire 4710…
Asus could have just made the screen bigger and it would be a sure win…
All in all, the Asus Eee Pc is just so small and really portable.
I apologise for the lame review… it’s just that things that I should have wrote here were suddenly lost.
My new stuff:
OS: Linux Xandros Full Desktop mode
Added program(s): GIMP image editor
