I like things clever things, and the EeePC is one of the few computer products of recent times that has struck me as being particularly clever. It is well thought out, well designed, and offers outstanding value for money.

I’ll admit, it’s not for everyone, or for every situation, but as I’ll explain, the EeePC fulfils a certain need, very, very well.

The EeePC is a small Linux-based subnotebook that costs just US$399 (AUS$499 in Australia). I reviewed the 4G model, which is powered by a 900 Mhz mobile Celeron, and comes with 512 MB RAM and 4 GB of solid state storage. It has a 7 inch screen (with a resolution of 800 x 400) and no, it doesn’t come with an optical drive. But if you were going to ask that question, you’ve already missed the point of the EeePC.

Sound under powered? No, actually, it’s just perfect.
