Last Tuesday, I bought the
T3 Magazine Philippines - November 2007 issue. I'm a regular buyer of this mag, as well as other gadget mags which is my way of getting updated on the latest gadgets and gizmo's (well, that's what I always say to myself...). Anyway, T3 Mag's Featured Article is the 100 "Greatest" Gadgets Countdown having, ahem, Christine Reyes as the cover/gadget girl. Moving on, I assume that the gadgets are randomly arranged. But for some obvious reasons, the
iPhone is on the first page of the article. However, I won't talk about the now "common" iPhone. Lol.
I continued reading, ignoring Christine's pictures. On page 3, there's the
Asus EEE PC. I actually didn't know anything about it but when I saw the price (~$399), I suddenly got interested. I remember seeing it at
Engadget, though I really never read the article since I don't have plans of buying a laptop...yet. I started researching about the
UMPC, reading reviews and stuff. Asus EEE Pc is a very basic laptop basically made for word processing, surfing the net, IMs, few games, but not for your regular media stuff due to its processor (
Intel Celeron), low hard disk space (4Gb
SSD), 7-inch
LCD screen, and graphics card (Intel UMA, equivalent of
Intel GMA 900, not sure about it tho). Oh, and it uses
Linux as its
OS. It is fairly priced, IMO, at $399. I was thinking that this would suffice my surfing needs while on the go since I already have my PSP for gaming, and Ipod for music/video (and this could also serve as my external HDD). Though, I still have to see and hold it personally before I get conviced that I'll buy it. :)
