No, I’m not screaming.

I mean, Eee.

Just three Es.

Surely you know what that means?



Eee!



Do you know now?



Ai (甘苺)



New computer! Well, netbook.



She’s an Eee PC 1005ha-v, in pink, naturally.

Right now she’s a replacement for a normal laptop (mine had a major meltdown about two weeks ago now) and is holding up pretty well. Video is the only aspect that really falters – watching 480i on crunchyroll is painful, but standard definition is fine. I do plan on buying a new fullsize laptop (13-15″, haven’t decided what yet) but I’m holding out until at least October when Windows 7 will be released. This also gives a chance for hardware to change up a little more – the way things are now, components aren’t much better than my laptop from two years ago.

Here she is with some of her friends, a pink Western Digital external hdd and pink wireless mouse with tiny receiver.

This small detail is something I love about the design – look closely – the pink gradually turns to white rather than abruptly changing. <3



bumpy touchpad



The touchpad has little bumps all over it, which took a little getting used to.



fake sd card



sd card slot



The SD card slot doesn’t spring-eject, so I’m not a big fan of it edit: it appears it does spring-eject! but at the beginning it certainly didn’t. So I’m not sure what caused it to suddenly start working XD;

It came with this cute little white fake SD card in the slot XD
