On a more important note, any update on the Eee desktop's most important specification: Price?]]>May 23rd 2008 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/...no where near it.

My total usage is usually under 300MB.]]>May 23rd 2008 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/

i bought my laptop in october 07, and 1-2gb stick of ram was at $180.00

february 08, i bought a 4 gig memory upgrade (2-2gb sticks) for $49.99.

i don't see this really affecting low cost in any way, if it turns out to be true.]]>May 23rd 2008 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/
Even when they are making up stuff they don't sound reliable. 2Gb in a Linux powered low cost box?

Most of their "reviews" are pieced together from stock photos and stuff they read elsewhere.

You'll use any excuse to sneak that phrase in, won't you?]]>May 23rd 2008 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/Unless you guys think that to add 10USD to the total costs will break your bank account, I don't see the point.
I'd put 2GB anyway if it comes with 1GB.]]>May 23rd 2008 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/How about a dual core celeron instead, then i could at least get a little work done.]]>May 23rd 2008 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/May 23rd 2008 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/
Also, it's cheaper.

Plenty of reasons if you ask me.]]>May 23rd 2008 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/May 23rd 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/
This is okay, but if I wanted a cheap desktop computer I'd buy an old P4 on EBay or Craiglist. I see decently spec'ed machines for $100 to $200, if you just want a basic internet/Office type machine.

ditto that, ditto not. Good point there, it sounds like you may get a better specked 2nd hand computer out there than a new one. Like a car, buy a cheaper new model or an older but more equipped car.

But in this case the specs looks impressive compared to a P4 (probably with a 120GB, 64MB graphics, 1GB RAM type specs). I would consider this EBox if pricing is good.]]>May 25th 2008 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/May 25th 2008 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/more-different-eee-box-specs-surface-online/Jul 3rd 2008 3:09AM
