Re: asus eee distributionn

If I'm going to work, I toss it in a case in my backpack and toss it
around, Just going for coffee or wasting time I have it in my vest pocket.

There was a vid posted on youtube a while ago with someone stress testing
one of these suckers. Tossed it open and closed off railings, desks,
chairs... even sat it by the window till it got cold and booted right away.

solid state drive won't be messed up by much short of a good electrical
shock to the entire system, and the lcd screen is rigid enough to take a
good solid hit. The biggest concern would be bending the lid too far open,
and even that is pretty far to begin with.

I've got no issues with letting my niece play with it, even with it taking a
few trips off her lap onto hardwood floors.

SDHC cards are cheap (16gb ~$80), and smplayer does a decent job of watching
movies on here. If you have the wireless off and the brightness turned
down you'll get about 3hrs of movies.
