ASUS Eee PC 1005HA up for pre-order on Amazon (Engadget)

Jun 21st 2009 2:49AM I actually picked one up on Sat from BestBuy. Yay broken street dates FTW!! Didn't even realize that it was a new model. Drunk time to sleep.

Foxit takes on the eBook world with low(er) cost eSlick (Engadget)

Dec 19th 2008 6:11AM 8000 page turns is the battery life estimate. Basicly this thing doesn't use any juice while your looking at a page, it only uses power when you flip to a new one. Could you imagine how long you could go without charging?

Dec 19th 2008 3:36AM The fact that it only uses electricity when your turning pages is pretty amazing. And, 8000 page turns on a charge, you can read for months, charge it for three hours, and rock on for a few more months. Me, I'm sold. The only problem I can think of is the fact they'll release a version with WIFI sometime after I purchase one. But I can live with that.

Fujitsu LifeBook U820 gets reviewed (Engadget)

Dec 18th 2008 9:35AM Vista isn't the monster most people make it out to be. It just an under achiever, like me. You have to admit, XP was a lot to live up to. I know it wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but compared to previous versions of Windows it was a monumental change for the better. It's really just like the step from Windows 2000 to Windows ME. You spent a lot of time with 2000, you had good times together. But after awhile you realized that the relationship just wasn't going in the direction you wanted, so you went your separate ways. Then one night you found yourself at a bar drinking away your sorrow, and you happen to look across the smoke filled room. There it was Windows ME, so full of promise, everything you thought you were looking for in an operation system. But unfortunately after one night of passion, and several shots of penicillin later, you came to realize ME was just your rebound OS. Pretty much the same thing with Vista.

Fujitsu LifeBook U820 gets reviewed (Engadget)

Dec 18th 2008 2:47AM I've got a U810 and I love the little beastie. I wear cargo pants to work, and even with the leather case, I can easily slip it into one of my pockets. So I can wander around the server floor and whip it out whenever I need a router config, or one of my ip tables, it beats the hell out of the old paper note book it replaced. Plus seven hours of battery life means I can pretty much always count on it when I travel. I've been Running Ubuntu MID edition on it for a while, and I'm nothing if not impressed on how well the little guy works. Of course the first thing I did when I got was rip out the 1.8 hard drive and replace it with a SSD, you would not believe the effect it had on performance. Really though, they should have never released these little guys with Vista installed, they just don't have the performance necessary to run it properly, a five minute boot time is just too much. Over all I'm extremely happy with it, and if I had to do it over again, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Shuttle's Linux-based KPC desktop gets reviewed (Engadget)

Mar 29th 2008 1:40PM ordered one for myself off of Ebay. Plus I went a little nuts on Newegg, and bought some fairly good parts.
Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4 Ghz
2gb of Mushkin DDR2 667 Ram
WD 500gb hard drive

That and I'll be using a 32gb Samsung SSD I've got laying around. I should get pretty good performance for a Linux box.
