Because of it's storage capacity, it will be limited to a few small apps(programs), although it has as desktop like processor, yet it's ram limits it maximum capabilities. Originally, Asus Eee PCs comes pre-installed with linux based OS(operating system) for reasons of having small footprint on it's storage medium. Yet still, there's packages with windows xp pre-installed, it almost fills up the whole SSD hard drive, leaving almost no space for full office applications. But using portable apps on external devices can be our work-arounds. Asus Eee PCs aren’t UMPC, they are actually MIDs(Mobile Internet Device).

To tell you the truth, Linpus Linux pales in comparison to the eeePC Xandros Linux version (wifi problems using WPA, unusually long loading times randomly happening). This fault is due to Linpus itself (pretty bad configuration and apt4rpm repositories are not configured properly). I re-installed using a Windows XP installer that was lying around unused (because my desktop is running PCLinuxOS) and suffice to say it works pretty well (the 1Gb RAM helps a lot for XP). It’s a wonderful secondary mobile computer. I also installed MSOffice 2003 as well and winamp. Comparing linux to XP though, XP does run slower - as evident when I play videos (720×480 XVID HD) in both linpus (before I deleted it) and XP. Typing this in the Blue H1 now. And yes, I chose this over the eeePC due to the specs/price configuration. Hi all,

The current one they released comes with VIA's C7-M processor running at 1.6ghz at most which is still not as good as Celeron-M running at 900mhz. A couple of websites have pitted VIA CN against Intel Atom and aside from burning less battery power, VIA CN also provides roughly 30% better performance... And is also way cheaper. Meaning HP Mini-note will eventually overtake EEE PC on the performance to price ratio. I suggest you guys wait for HP’s Mini-note with VIA’s Isaiah processor, CN.
