in any case, here’s why i chose the asus eee pc 701 4G.<\/p>\n
i found out about the eee in september. i had been asked by a friend how it is possible that i don’t<\/em> own a laptop. so i told him i hadn’t found one small enough. then i had to start looking, and found the eee, on some site for ultramobiles i guess. not sure which.<\/p>\n in late november i made a blog post<\/a> about it and decided to buy one. mainly because of these factors:<\/p>\n – small & light enough to be constantly carried around, much like i carry around books or notes. of course the connectivity (wlan, ethernet, possibility of usb-bluetooth) was a prerequisite for even considering the eee. as the magnificent eee guru jkk<\/a> put it when he hacked the eee to include 3g modem:<\/p>\n Mobility means also mobile connectivity to me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n i might just perform the same hack, although i hesitate because i’m not a fan of 3g.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" aka “finally something i can write about the eee before actually owning it”. aka “a distraction better than any, for keeping me from doing what i should be doing”. in any case, here’s why i chose the asus eee pc 701 4G. i found out about the eee in september. i had been asked by … Continue reading why i chose<\/i> the eee pc<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,12],"tags":[63,95,117,146,26],"class_list":["post-320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-6","category-english","tag-distraktion","tag-eee","tag-eeepc","tag-english","tag-internet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oculex.fi\/thomas\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oculex.fi\/thomas\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oculex.fi\/thomas\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oculex.fi\/thomas\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oculex.fi\/thomas\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.oculex.fi\/thomas\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oculex.fi\/thomas\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oculex.fi\/thomas\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oculex.fi\/thomas\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\n– cheap enough, because there’s a good chance that i’ll forget my bag\/eee from time to time, and that’s<\/em> why the price tag is so important. loosing a 300e valued laptop is far better than a 2000e dito.
\n– the keyboard<\/strong>. i need qwerty keyboard, i need the keys, i need to be able to type fast enough if i am to use it as a notepad on meetings and lectures (which i intend to do).<\/p>\n
