"Kill each other" was towards Asus and Acer. I really meant to say "Hey Acer, drop your prices till they drop" and "Yo Asus, are U gonna let him do that to you son? !!!"

But hey.. we can have a laugh like my friends that commented.

BANG !!]]>Mar 25th 2008 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 24th 2008 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 24th 2008 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/
Why is there even a market for them?
Anyone uses them?]]>Mar 24th 2008 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 24th 2008 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/
I do most of my computing on a desktop and don't need a fancy (heavy) expensive laptop. What I need is something bigger than a pda with full functionality for when I am traveling. The eeepc and those like it fit the bill in price, size, weight and functionality. Do NOT think of them as replacements for full time PCs. Think of them as the do all traveling units.]]>Mar 24th 2008 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 24th 2008 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 24th 2008 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 24th 2008 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/

Larger screens are nice, but I'm really not bothered by my 7" Eee. Larger storage, in a machine that's not complete garbage (Cloudbook), will get me to upgrade.]]>Mar 24th 2008 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/
Downside for me is that I found my fingers? hands? were too big to type on the keyboard reliability. Eventually, I figured I`d need to carry around a usb keyboard if I were every to type with more than one finger, which seemed a bit bulky in itself, such that the advantage of the convenience of the eee over a traditional laptop is lost.

Unlessss, I could find one of those thin rollup-into-a-circle-like-rolling-a-sleeping-bag keyboards. ]]>Mar 24th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 24th 2008 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/

I could have gone with the Unicorn sterilization method to save the future but Peta and Skynet were all over that plan. So instead I posted on Engadget, this way the Leprechauns can monitor the posts and realize that the time machine has malfunctioned and only transported me back 6 minutes.

Back in the 90s I had an Acros, my friend had a fancy Aspire.

Now my wife is using an Acer notebook that's damn sexy and I think, a third of the price of a Macbook Air.

Bring on the EEE PC killer (I doubt it will be as successful as the EEE, but the fight should be good)]]>Mar 24th 2008 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/If it came with a unicorn, maybe... but I'd keep the unicorn and give the laptop away as a gift. ]]>Mar 24th 2008 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 24th 2008 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 24th 2008 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 24th 2008 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 30th 2008 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 24th 2008 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 24th 2008 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/
No- seriously- they use low quality hardware and their machines (esp. cheap laptops break like crazy). I don't buy there stuff- do to others experiences, but ive hear their service PR isn't that great either]]>Mar 25th 2008 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/

My Asus was about 2000 bucks and has been in twice for service and is currently waiting for a battery and power cord replacement because both are hosed. Owned it for 2 years.

My Acer (I'm using now) was about 350 bucks from Wal-Mart and the little plastic latch to open it broke off the first month. I'm still under warranty, but instead of just shipping me the 50 cent part in a first class envelope (total cost less than a dollar), they want me to ship the laptop to them at my expense so they can replace the entire case and ship it back... Plus, everyone I've spoken with at Acer is a total jerk.]]>Mar 26th 2008 2:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/acers-eee-competition-to-have-lower-price-tag-more-beautiful-e/Mar 25th 2008 1:14AM
