there is nothing wrong with the eeepc
listen im a die hard apple afficionado.
.... and nothing competes with my MBP 17 and Imac g5 especially with teleport..... any case was given an eeepc 701 (stock 4gs ssd and 512 ram)as a gift, and had no idea what to do with it.... but after some research and tinkering i have since then have added a 32 gig pci-e ssd, touch screen, bluetooth and 8 gig sd. Oh and its running tiger....
in total i paid a little over 150 for the parts and the result is an ultra portable macbook that i take everywhere... it has office 2004, photoshop cs and many more. it does not take the place my MBP but it serves its purpose i.e. / an ultra portable macbook with touchscreen (great for photoshop)... as for the speed issue yes, osx has a problem with the processor speed but with apps like tweek freak you can minimize the problems. the biggest problem is watching video files (online video is fine) because of the timing issue, but it was never meant to be a portable dvd player!!! It was meant to be a portable notebook that is very easily mod-able.....
Burn it. Criticize it. all you want but guess what I got and you don't....
7 in macbook mini
built in camera,
32 gig ssd,
touch screen
blue tooth
wifi
all for a grand total of about $450.....
eat your heart out
