This is special because it is eminently affordable and does everything you want whilst on the move.

I bought my black eee from Tottenham Court Road (London) on Monday, and love it. I have put Ubuntu 7.10 on it, and it runs compiz fusion brilliantly. I use it around university, and for taking notes in lectures. It is not my primary computer, but means that when I am at uni, I don't have to break my back lugging an Acer around all day.]]>Nov 15th 2007 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/
"and it runs compiz fusion brilliantly"

is it smooth.
is it beautiful.
does it... wobble?

can it run a NES emulator? http://www.zophar.net/unix/nes.html
how about SNES?

black... no pointless markup {black macbook}...
must... wait... for... ten inch screen... or price drop...

Yes, it runs both NES and SNES perfectly, although you have to tell snes9x to run sound at 44.1KHz or 22KHz - the sound chip doesn't like 32KHz output.

I pushed 2 simultaneous snes9x instances perfectly, the 3rd instance started bringing the choppy.

I'd say performance is acceptable. :)]]>Nov 15th 2007 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/
thanks for the info :)
I can look forward to running my old school collection on the go
[yells death cry: "RCR forever!!!"]

is the emulation while compiz fusion is running?
either way... pretty sweet]]>Nov 15th 2007 9:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzzhEs9XGuE&feature=related

How did you get Gutsy on there without an optical drive? I love the looks and idea of the EEE but the default OS looks like something that was made by V-Tech - if you can put other Linux OS's on there then maybe I will pick one up come tax return season (just around the corner!)]]>Nov 15th 2007 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/

I also want the 10" version to come out, but we all know that Asus will want to maximise it's sales of the 7" version first so it will naturally quash any rumours of the 10" impending release.]]>Nov 15th 2007 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/

Touchscreen, IRC, Web Browser, great games... And a lot lighter and smaller than this.

Sorry, the EEEPC is just too old school (aka Big, Clunky, over-priced).]]>Nov 15th 2007 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/

The DS uses a tiny, tiny touch screen for text input. The Eee PC features a nice, standard keyboard. This makes the Eee PC obviously preferable for typing papers, taking notes, or bringing to meetings. Haul your Nintendo DS into class and do some note taking, see how that turns out. You'll look like an ass and get nothing done.

The screen on the Eee PC is significantly larger than that of the DS. You can do serious web browsing on it, not the lame, gimped, struggling browsing you're doing on that DS.

The Eee PC can run a variety of operating systems, including Windows. The ports (USB especially) give it the capability of a normal laptop in nearly every regard.

Oh, and the DS is like, 100mhz. I think it's even less, like 60something. And it has 4MB of RAM.

Yeah, that's just like the Eee PC. Give me a break.]]>Nov 15th 2007 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/
The individual you were addressing was probably ignoring you because you were being a moron. Just a guess.

A Nintendo DS is obviously smaller than an Eee PC. But seeing as how nobody would want to sit squinting at two 3" screens all day tapping at tiny letters, the Eee PC is obviously superior.

Futhermore, a traditional 13"-14.1" laptop costs easily triple what the Eee PC costs. Who needs a DVD burner, 128MB GPU, and 1.8GHz C2D proc just for the convenience of running Windows to take notes in class? Not me, for one.

I'll wait until the 10" White Eee PC Model 1001 becomes available, and plunk down my hard-earned cash for something truly useful, affordable, and portable.]]>Nov 15th 2007 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/Nov 15th 2007 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/I might be wrong, about that, but I do know it does include a CD and a method of restoring it back to factory defaults, including the OS.]]>Nov 15th 2007 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/asus-eee-pc-now-out-in-galaxy-black/
