Folks,<br>
<br>
I'm very tempted to join the NLUG Eee group with a:<br>
<br>
Asus 10" EEE PC 1000H 1GB 160GB BLACK LINUX<br>
<br>
One requirement is for the HDD space hence the SSD versions are excluded.<br>
<br>
Any others I should be looking at or that are recommended instead?</blockquote></div><br>The Advents are quite good and are apparently Linux compatible. PC World have the Advent 4213 for £249 which has a 10.2" screen, 160Gb hard disk, 1Gb RAM and a SIM card slot for wireless broadband. The module is a Huawei E620 and works with the new Ubuntu network tool.<br>
<br>Personally I'd buy the Advent as it's a lot more portable with built-in 3G. I currently use a USB dongle with a Vodafone PAYG sim and currently pay £1 a day when I use it, and nothing when I don't. They will soon offer £7 a month unlimited (subject to 3Gb limit) on PAYG.<br>
<br>edit: I don't own one of these machines. What I know is from reading various forums.<br><br>Simon<br>
