Meet Major Major, my very first netbook. :D

After months of contemplating I finally decided to buy my own portable PC, and I settled for a netbook instead of the usual laptop, because surfing the Net is what I really do the most rather than playing resource-hogging PC games or editing multimedia. Aside from being less expensive, the netbook is bundled with essential freebies (external DVD-RW writer. headset and mouse) which for me is more bang for the buck. And even though it’s less powerful compared to a desktop that doesn’t mean you cannot play games or install useful applications with it. What I really love in this Eee PC series model is the long battery life, the comfortable keyboard layout, Express Gate (a quick boot outside Windows for easy web browsing or Skype video call) and Super Hybrid Engine (automatically changes power plan for energy efficiency and performance.) I recently installed Jolicloud 1.0 operating system and it’s very fast and user-friendly. Overall I’m really satisfied and would recommend this to everyone who wants to have a secondary PC for light web browsing or running web applications.
