How Slim Is the MacBook Air?

We compared the MacBook Air to two of the smallest laptops in the planet: the Sony Vaio TZ series and the Asus Eee PC, even while this last one can’t be compared at all in terms of features. Clearly, the MacBook Air is a truly svelte little number. Hit the jump for a bigger view…

4GB Asus Eee Finally in Five Colors

Asus promised us long ago that their Eee PCs would be available in a variety of colors, but for whatever reason (we’re guessing that reason is the Eee PC’s successful sales) Asus has taken their time colorizing the $399 Eee PC that most of us want, instead offering us only the $299 and $350 Surf…

Forget the $2500 Latitude XT, Get a Touchscreen Asus Eee PC for $465

Half the reason we like the Eee PC is that mods to it just keep getting further out there. The latest, and greatest, is a touchscreen. Jkkmobile’s 4G is loaded up with Windows XP, but not the tablet version, so it’s admittedly more of an interesting way to browse the web and play around with…

Asus Eee PC is No Longer Voided by Memory Upgrade

The Asus Eee PC has been a runaway hit. (Who would have thought that people would want small, cheap laptops?)
