Asus EeePC Laptop (4Gb)

Black White

£229.95

Rumour has it that a delivery might be made later this week (WC 7th April 2008), we're not holding our breath, once we have confirmation one way or the other we'll update the site.

Stock has once again run out. We have more on order but no confirmed delivery date. Reserve now.

This little gem is a masterpiece: Asus have got the specification just right and produced a truly portable laptop with full functionality. It is pre-loaded with a customised version of Xandros, with a very neat 'Easy' interface making it really easy to use. It's capable of running three or four applications at once, for example word processing, browser and pdf reader.

Geek Alert: it's really easy to change the configuration of the EeePC to provide a full KDE desktop, and we provide a few notes to help you do this. The solid state disk filing system is set up in a Union file system, with the main system being read only, and user data being stored in a read-write partition. There is a Factory Restore option which will wipe the read-write part and restore the system to its original state: Just right if you're experimenting.

Please note: the EeePC we are stocking is the 4GB storage version: some EeePC's available elsewhere may have the 2Gb solid state disk: make sure that what you are getting is clear.

Notebook Optical Mouse

Bronze Green Ice Blue Metallic Blue Mint Silver Turquoise Orange Red

PCMCIA 56K hardware modem

£36.00

From time to time you might need to revert to dial up on your laptop. If you do, this neat little PCMCIA modem is just what you need. Unlike built in winmodems using the linuxant driver, this one is a 'proper' modem, isn't speed restricted and won't stop working after a kernel upgrade.

SuSE 10.3 instead of Ubuntu

£44.00

Please note that we provide a default install of the SUSE 10.3 boxed set, with no customisation.

On a Lenovo 3000 you will find that some of the specialist laptop functions (eg hibernate function key) are not operational although the install is in all other ways perfectly satisfactory. Please call us if you have any queries.
