Eee PC 901 small keyboard cool features

I’ve wanted to get an Eee PC for a long time. I came really close to getting a 900, but with the 901 announced I was convinced to hold off. I’m so glad I did.

Over the weekend I got my usual NCIX e-flyer, clicking through because the 900s were on sale, I saw that the 901s were in! Wasting no time I bought one for in store pick up.

This is a cool machine. Keyboard, yes, it’s very small and will take some time to get used to.

That said this little XP-powered machine is pretty peppy. Bluetooth, Draft N wifi, 3 usb ports, ethernet, vga out, sd card reader.

Out of the box I found it pretty useful.  Except for the fact that I had to copy the touchpad drivers from the DVD to a usb key to tweak the touchpad settings (I hate tap to click).

I’m going to be giving this a serious test over the next while. I’m taking it on vacation instead of a full laptop for pics and writing.

This is going to be fun!
