A lucky strike 1

For years I am with grooooßen, really line enabled mobile computers on the road that could everything and what needs to afford a computer. All these years (it all started in 1991 with a -.486-Läppi of Escom) was wonderful, what you go so you could do everything - but has actually made but only in the office. The smaller tasks, like calendar organization, briefly write what and so on ... just do not have enough motivation to unpack the rather large site in order to limit the person sitting next to the square. And the fumbling that was required to connect to the Internet, gave her the rest. Great hosts so ... but the handling has never been truly happy. Nor, as the useful organizational tools on the mobile phone, but although practically rather tiny in the presentation.
One day in March 2009, I have overcome my skepticism about minicomputers and me for a 10 '' - looked helpers. The aim was to find a Gerätzu on which I can easily write without knots between middle finger and thumb, with which my office organization also works in the respective beach bar on the Baltic Sea or the Mediterranean Sea and at the same time bring me my mail and the World Wide Web at the beer table , regardless of whether the trunk counter or in the station café at Witten-and all this without any fuss and fumbling. Many devices I've looked at and in the immediate choice comb the little Asus. EEE has already heard a lot: Interested students computers, luxury calculators ... small Abfälligkeiten to the small format. And then I had it in his hand: the tester at the dealer. Compared to its large 17 '' - high-performance brother ultra lightweight yet easy to grip thanks to the battery-bead at the back. Glossy cover-well ... you get used to the fingerprints on this strange design style flower in consumer electronics. Open the device could be gentle with geichbleibend slight resistance: an indication of sound joints. Nothing rubs, nothing rattles-good feel. The keyboard has improved the 1000HG: according to other Eee PC models here has a die replaced with comfort variables keys somewhat fragile-looking individual keys. The writing feeling is very soft but not schlodderig. The Mousepad initially acts something simple but I wanted to get away from high-performance device and now I notice again and again that "simple" does not have to be "bad." The three USB 2.0 ports also allow the connection of a mobile mouse, even though at the same time an external drive and a Datenzäpchen the unit hang (although this hardly ever happens). An input for Micro and an output for headphones have indeed already surprised me with such a little guy, but you really give her more power than is assumed. After connecting active PC Lautspechern can imagine easily even an acoustic presentation in a larger meeting room (or classroom). To connect a beamer is not a problem on a VGA port, in which ASUS, however, has forgotten a thread for the safe connection of the VGA cable: So be careful that the cable does not slip. The slot for the SD or multimedia card is secured by a dummy: Looks great, because the contacts are protected by wear in the device. A gentle pressure is sufficient for the new card is inserted.
In daily work, the little helper data proves robust workhorse. For the past 8 months I carry the device around with me every day now, and it is with an average mileage of 9 hours never annoying loud or questionable warmed. The hard drive moves data fast and very quiet, you can hear the computer really only late at night in absolute silence. In the mobile insert 4 hours mains-independent working is possible at full power, throttled (darkened Monitor, extended interim storage intervals, speaker ...) he has even brought it again to 6 hours. With an attached DVD drive, it is possible to see a movie of 110 minutes of pure battery power. (By the way, there are car charger cable, which allow very long car trips as many films what ride-on children makes life much more pleasant ...) Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to connect the way also in hotels with partly longer spark plug very good but the screamer is the SIM card slot for mobile internet, which is hidden under the battery. He is unaffected simply getting on the device. My experience with a D1-card is good. After insertion into the computer preloaded ASUS 3G Connection Manager joined the computer in 27 seconds with the sky-line, only the input of the connection and the pin were needed. Since then I have no Sticksucherei and Gewurschtel in mainland Europe in six to seven seconds on the Internet. I do not want him to miss the little ones. Ok: for extensive desktop publishing or my beloved simulators he would be nothing but his big brother is supposed to have something to do.
I can really recommend the device to anyone who needs a stable, fast and reliable digital workhorse. The only drawback: He cooks no coffee.
