ASUS EEE PC2GS
Bought this on Wednesday (mines Black) and finally got it today – it had been with my neighbours since Friday.
It is really cool – so small and compact, but runs very well. Well, mine does not run so well, when I open one of the OpenOffice applications, the whole screen splits in half vertically, light grey on one side, white on the other and flashes like a mad thing – and I have to force a shutdown.
It is a real pain, I am going to have to organise it’s return – I imagine that will be a nightmare of trying to get packing, organising couriers and having to get it all delivered all over again! Arse!
I am already disapointed I did’nt go for the 4gb model, as my 2gb one does not have a camera, the Thunderbird e-mail application or the ability to update the RAM, which is a massive problem. I bought 2gb for this very reason, now I can’t use it. Hopefully will get a refund. I hope the 16gb SD card I bought for more storage works ok!
So, all in all, this has not gone very smoothly! I HATE when tech things go wrong! And, for the very first time, I went for the budget model, and it didn’t work out. Just shows ya!
