Does your 904HD have the touchpad from the 901 or the 900? I personally prefer the 900's pad. I played with a 901 in a store last week and it feels funny, not like a real touchpad. Like ... idk. Ugly as sin, too. Held my 900 up to it and mine looks ten times better.

afaik it is from the 1000 series. basically 904HD is 1000 but with smaller screen and Celeron-M ULV.

Is that what the 904HD is? I forgot (silly me).

Not bad, though. Though to be honest, I prefer the matte finish of the 70x/900 models.

Guys, honestly stop fucking with Freezer so much. Stop insulting him, stop trashing on him. Better to have a bit of meat on the bones than look malnourished like a lot of you skinny, Ethiopian-looking nerds. I imagine many of you aren't quite the lookers, either. So first and foremost - STFU.

His hobby is fucking around with computers. We've all suggested to Freezer that he really should get some vitamin D, but he prefers to tinker around. Fine. Do you really bust on the folks that spend all their times in the garage working on cars and have grease under their fingernails from 1998? No. You say that's cool because it's "manly". Guys, I hate to say this: but the nerds WILL inherit the Earth. They already have for the most part. Remember Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak? Yea, Bill and Jobs were some skinny fucks and Wozniak was also a portly little teenager. Now look at the three of them.

All I am saying is this: Look at yourselves and then look at the shit you're trashing Freezer for. It's real easy to trash someone on a forum. I'm willing to bet you wouldn't say even 90% of the shit you say to him here, to his face.

But Freezer - you do need to lay off the ranting about the mininotes. If you're going to rant, play with them a bit more and then learn instead of making a post after such a brief experience. That's like calling all Blacks criminals just because you got mugged by one black dude.
Just so you know all the insults at Freezer are meant in a light hearted manner. Stop getting butthurt.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Everyone makes fun of freezer for being fat. Capnnismo comes in and defends him. Freezer has a go at him. Nismo calls freezer fat.

On topic though  I have small hands and I still find it a pain to type on the eee.

My last post wasn't serious. Fuck it. I tried to be a nice guy and get chewed for it.

I find that you need to find the proper position to type on the EEE. If I hold it in my lap, it's usually better to type on. But if it's too high it can start to annoy my wrists. I certainly wouldn't want to try and write an entire book on the damn thing, though. But if you want a way to improve the keyboard that takes less than an hour to do (shorter if you're not anal retentive about the details), putting a few layers of aluminum foil underneath makes a world of difference on the keyboard. It really firms it up.

They really are quite nice. The big seller for me on them is the multitouch pad. None of the other netbooks have it and it makes browsing a breeze (especially when holding it). Just make sure that you update the drivers for it when you get it to take full advantage of it. For instance, I never use the two plastic buttons because by using the multitouch, I got left, right and middle click.

I've used them... They are no harder to use than a full size MAC keyboard.  God I hate those mac keyboards, so awkward to type on!

I must admit I do kind of hate you, however you have been quite helpful on this thread so thank you. Could you elaborate on the multi-touch? You got windows or linux on your's?

Stop saying the word cheap ffs. They are meant to be cheap. That's the WHOLE FUCKING POINT.

Do you know who the e-PC is marketed for, honestly?
I do. I was in Staples t'other day, where they had a couple of EeePCs on display. Ms Average Woman is talking to shop assistant about purchasing a printer. No mention of laptops/portables and they didn't even look at any. Then, when he takes her over to their (overpriced USB cables display) they have to pass the EeePC display. Ms Average Woman was like "ooh!" and then she had to like physically drag herself away from them!

That's who the EeePC is marketed for - Mr and Ms Average Person.

Is that supposed to be the downside?

It's marketed for whoever wants/needs a highly portable (rly cheap) laptop, and the people who buy it use it for lots of different things.

Oops. Wrong quote. Corrected my post.

Anyhoo, no, it wasn't meant to be a downside, rather I was making much the same point as you - mininotes exist because there is a market for them - they might not suit everyones (freezers) requirements, but that's not the point.

It's called choice. And choice is a good thing.

If person X doesn't like/need/want them, so what?

There's persons A thru to W that do.

Discussing the relative merits of different products is fair enough, but arguing like a fan-boy is pointless.
