Sanchez Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 The 80GB hard drive doesn't make much sense to me, surely it's the same price as a 160GB or perhaps more and looks better, unless it uses a 2.5"?
Daft Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I've decided for uni next year I'm going to pick up one of those Eee laptop things (you can tell I know my stuff :p ) because my MacBook is really pissing me off and all I want is Word, wireless internet and uber portability. Is there any news on when an atom version of the laptop is due...with Windows?
Daft Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 July at the earliest. Perfect, as long as it is out by about October thats good. Are there any good websites with news about the Eee? It's kind of annoying scouring the web for bits of info, most regarding America.
Guest Jordan Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 July at the earliest. True. However early reports suggest that the Atom will not be clocked up to its maximum 1.6ghz, probably proform the same as the current Celeron chip and will probably have less battery life. You can find Eee PC 701's and 900's here when they are in stock. http://eeestock.cpjackson.co.uk/ Keep checking this every day, you'll get one. [The site has been down this morning mind...] Also http://www.eeeuser.com for shizzle...
Daft Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Awesome, cheers. However early reports suggest that the Atom will not be clocked up to its maximum 1.6ghz, probably proform the same as the current Celeron chip and will probably have less battery life. Why would they not clock it up to its max? Would they lift the cap with an update?
Sanchez Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Save barrery life, less heat, probably won't lift it. I also doubt it will have a shorter battery life, eee pc has a short battery life as it is.
Guest Jordan Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 The average battery life of a 900 (with the US battery... not our reduced one) is around 4 1/2 hours from what i've seen. Which for a laptop, ain't half bad. Btw, in terms of heat the Atom produces nearly zero heat emissions hense its going into mobile phones next year. Albiet probably alot smaller version and alot less powerful!
