| 718264 | 2008-11-06 21:10:00 | Hi, I have a old one and thinking of upgrading, how are they for photography and editing? They appear to be around 1.40/1.60Ghz low voltage Intels. While the bigger laptops are 2.80Ghz etc.. The one I use is from 2000 so I only do admin work on it. Much of it is for travel .. ie., laptop acts as a data backup device. Or maybe I should get a 2004 model used one since they are soo $$, and just really use it as a storage and not a editor. Plus the odd interne and email .. etc. MS Office work. What you think., Cheers |

| 718265 | 2008-11-06 23:47:00 | You mean like the EEEs. They're Ok for what they are, Your use seems minimal so it would do. | pctek (84) | ||
| 718266 | 2008-11-06 23:56:00 | Since you're using it for photography and editing you may want the 1,6ghz Atom CPU netbooks i.e The eee901 and the Acer Aspire one | Blam (54) | ||
| 718267 | 2008-11-07 00:09:00 | Nah .. I mean 1.5kg lappies. Ie., IBM Thinkpad X series and such. Ps. Editing RAW files with Adobe Lightroom - is that ok under travel - to download, organise files etc.. and an edit. |

| 718268 | 2008-11-07 01:04:00 | I have the EEEPC 901 Windows XP version, awesome little beast. Beats the pants off my work supplied Lenovo laptop (T60) Added a 16gb SHDC card to it for storage, use a 320gb external for media etc. Battery lasts a long time, and all up its been well worth the money, Its even able to play hidef video without stutter which surprised me. |

| 718269 | 2008-11-07 06:32:00 | Thanks, I had a look at the 901. Are the keys ok to touch type with? The HDD is a bit on the small side, since I use dSLR and RAW files. Altho I guess I could use a USB flash drive for backups. The screen size should be fine though. :D |

| 718270 | 2008-11-07 06:39:00 | After a while you get used to it. You could use an external, they're cheap to build these days. Or a 32gb SD card off TM for around 150 bucks |

Altho I guess I could use a USB flash drive for backups. The screen size should be fine though. :D The keys take a little getting used to for sure, the 2 key is a little more left than normal, the keys have a nice action though so its not bad once your used to it. if you were using it at a desk a lot i'd plug a fullsize usb keyboard to it. |
