Since I’ve been laid up (and not in a good way) with my back lately, I have been thinking about getting a little Asus eee PC 701 to use around the house. Primarily for when I’m stuck on the couch or in bed using the heat pack in truth. Anyway I got to have a look and play with one yesterday, and I really liked it. Only thing I found difficult was how tiny the keyboard is. Now I’m only 5′ tall, and have size 6 feet (4 US, 3 UK and 36 EU) and equally small hands…. tiny even compared to most people… but using the itsy bitsy teeny weeny keyboard on the eee PC was quite difficult. I couldn’t hardly type a single word without typos, and I’m not sure how easy it would be to get used to.
I think I’m turning into one of the gadgetscenti… there’s two PCs in this house for each permanent resident (one of whom is six) and more gizmos and thingamebobs than you can poke a stick at…. and here I am wanting to buy another little computer :S
Sigh… if it’s retail therapy I’m after, I think I should go invest in some nail polish instead!
