Laptops are getting cheaper and cheaper. Various programs like One Laptop Per Child pushed the limits to have a $100 US laptop. This is a feat in itself which is slowly becoming a reality. I was asked on which laptop would I recommend for an on the move blogger. Thinking of my experience with a 12.1 inch laptop. It’s still a little heavy and is a delicate stuff to handle while travelling.

I was in Zeer IT shopping mall in Rangsit, Thailand and have found this very cute laptop Asus Eee PC 4Gb. The price was pegged at Baht 10,900 or around $ 355 US. The varied colors of white, black, and pastel shades of pink, green and blue caught my attention. It really got me interested, believing maybe I could get the machine with some promotional codes. The EeePC is a surprisingly cheap, 7 inch display which packs 4GB of solid-state storage and some goodies in the form of Wi-Fi, 3G support, three USB sockets and an SD card slot. Though the 7 inch screen might be a little small, but it’s better than reading or writing emails on an iPhone or some Nokia phones. Never to worry as it comes with a VGA-out socket for hooking up into a much bigger external LCD or CRT normal screen. The Eee PC’s is packed with Xandros Linux distribution, a totally user friendly operating system which is a good clone of Windows XP. The Eee PC could be bought online from BestBuy.com using bestbuy coupons or at Amazon.com using amazon coupons.

For on the move blogger’s, the Asus Eee 4G-Galaxy 7” PC Mobile Internet Device is a dream. Maybe you’ll need to get a decent-sized USB flash drive or external USB harddisk to fully exploit its potential, but that’s a small price to pay for one of the world’s coolest laptop. This is the perfect portable blogging machine. I know that open-source operating system fans like Linux have been calling for a small, cheap alternative for blogging on-the-move. The answer has finally arrived in the form of the Asus EeePC 701. A portable and tough machine on the road.
