Hardware, Embedded Systems A review of the Asus EeePC. It concludes: "The Eee PC may be targeted at children and students, but it should also entice anyone needing a compact, low cost, yet fully functional PC. It is featherweight, far easier to use than a Windows machine, starts up three times faster, and costs about a quarter of anything in its weight class."

err, may i ask what your going to use it for that needs that amount of storage? unless we are talking audiovisual media i dont see how one gig to or from will be a issue...


There's a big difference between 2 gigs free and 1 gig free. Also the more apps you add or update on the stock EeePC, the less space you have for data. That 1.4 gbs would fill up pretty damn quick.

Yeah the system partition is read only so it cannot be modified once the OS is booted. Then they have the user partition and it's all put together with unionfs.
