Numbers that came out today indicate that ASUS has sold 350,000 units. That is fantastic in this short time period and very worried economy! That sort of answers the who will use this. Lots of people.
We have two of the 4G models. I have black, my wife has white. I just ordered some hardware to add to mine.
I am swapping the built in SO-DIMM 512 Meg module for a 2 Gig module. I am also adding 6 Gig additional flash storage. I will install XP Pro and the VPN software that my company requires and go shopping for a broadband connection.
My wife uses hers at home or hotspots. She can be at a Starbucks or a doctor's office and surf, chat, e-mail, etc.
If you try to use it to replace a normal desktop or laptop you may very well be disappointed with storage and other aspects of this very fine machine.
If you think of this as an access method to other systems, as in my case corporate systems or my wife's internet use, it is an immensely useful tool.
I look forward to exploring the video conferencing capabilities as well. |
