NetbookTech

For a Mac user’s perspective of an ASUS Eee PC netbook, check out Peter Cohen’s hands-on look at the Eee PC 100HA system over at Macworld.com. Already convinced that Apple is “missing an opportunity by not offering Mac users a netbook”, Mr. Cohen takes the 1000HA for a spin to see “what the netbook experience is really like.”

The reviewed system comes with a 10 inch LCD display, an Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB HDD. Oh yeah much to the dismay of nearly all Mac users out there, it comes with Windows XP Home.

Despite having to deal with Windows XP, Mr. Cohen has this to say about the netbook:

“The Eee 1000HA is no replacement for a full-sized laptop or a desktop computer, but as a means to check e-mail and get some light work done while you’re out and about, it’s fantastic. The Eee 1000HA gets you around town conveniently and economically—Asus’ answer to the Smart Car Fortwo”

And yes – he still remains convinced that Apple is missing out. Kudos to him!
