I still have my original 7" EEE PC somewhere in storage (batteries removed). It was the 900mhz model which I imported from Asia. That little thing was so cool, with a little utility I could undervolt and downclock it to 700mhz. That way the fan would never run and the battery time was very long. I absolutely loved that little machine.
Hah, I did exactly the same. Mine arrived with a broken fan, but it didn’t matter because it never kicked in anyway. I used it as a Gameboy emulator for quite a while, it was actually small enough to hold like a handheld with QWAS acting as a Dpad.
Learning how to type with that tiny keyboard was a fun challenge.
Ive got 2 different models that i cant remember the models for collecting dust, ive been thinking of using the carcass of one and upgrade it with a better screen and some sbc
Hey look! We rediscovered netbooks!
Might have to dust off my EeePC.
Is this the third time they invented netbooks? The second time they called them “Chromebooks” and they sucked with their locked down os.

I have one with a blazing fast 1.6GHz Atom. Doesn’t do too bad with Linux even nowadays but the 1024x600 screen really brings it down
