Clark has finally gotten his hands on a mini laptop called the Eee (pronounced "Triple E") PC that he's been talking about for the past several weeks. At $399, Clark admits to having overpaid for this computer. But he's really impressed with its usability and light weight of around 1.5 pounds. If you have smaller fingers you should have no problem touch-typing on the keypad. Travelers can now take an affordable mini laptop with them instead of paying $2,000 for a traditional one. The Eee is made by a Taiwanese company that teamed up with Intel, and it's designed for the basics: web surfing, e-mailing, word processing and cheap VoIP service. In fact, Clark's Eee came preloaded with Skype software! His computer even boots up in mere seconds versus a few minutes with most other laptops. His Eee uses Linux as its operating system. Linux is beloved by techies, but even a non-techie like Clark finds it extremely easy to use this laptop. Meanwhile, a version that runs Microsoft Windows won't be available for another couple of months. What about the much ballyhooed price in the low $200s? Clark says we should begin to see those kinds of prices sometime next year. So if you bought a Nokia Tablet PC on Clark's recommendation and really thought he stunk, you owe it to yourself to get to a store and check out the Eee. It will truly allow you to travel with laptop functionality without lugging around 10 or 15 pounds of extra baggage!
