Since getting my Asus EeePC, everyone who's seen it has commented immediately on just how incredibly small it is.
It's something all the reviews mention as well - so I've taken a couple of shots that I think truly put this amazing little device into perspective.
First off, here's one of the EeePC atop Gerry's Dell Latitude D420 - at 12.1", it's also classed as a subnotebook:
That still doesn't fully evoke the sheer tinyness, so here's one with both devices open:
Finally, the grand picture that proves it. EeePC atop 12.1" D420 atop 15.4" Compaq:
Do you see it now? This thing is SMALL. Tiny. Miniscule.
Yet to me, it's kinda like a soldier ant - tiny, yet for its size unfeasibly powerful. I plan to post a full review in a week or so, once I've had some more time playing with it, but so far it's handled everything I've thrown at it - including some clumsy cock-ups - with nothing but aplomb. In fact, it's proved so useful that I'm planning to eBay the 15" Compaq lappy in the photo, as I haven't use it once since the day the diminutive Asus arrived.
Damn, it's small. But it's perfectly formed and, as I once mentioned on Twitter, this to me could be the device that finally makes sense of Linux on the desktop.
Stay tuned for a full review.
