A recurring thread - however seems to be nothing new on here since october 2008
I have decided on my next tour that I will take a small laptop/netbook with me – major use would be keeping my diary and email - having looked around my choice is the Asus 901 eepc with linux – however the whole of the UK seems to be out of stock – does anyone have any experience with the XP version they could share
Battery life on the 901 is supposedly very good does running XP degrade that?
inbuilt memory is very limited - can you run windows programmes from a seperate hard drive - i already have one, it is very light and has survived going to work in the briefcase on my bicycle rack every day for the last two years - it would be nice to be able to run my favorite mapping programmes when I wanted to
If by chance I could get the Linux version does it run windows programes without a lot of faffing about
