thorne Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I got a EEE PC. I've been using the piss out of it for tuning this weekend. It's so much nicer to carry around then my big dell. Updating maps works well and the screen is quite viewable. It's a cool little toy. Netbooks are pimp specs Celeron 900m 2gigs ram 4gig ssd 4gig hs memory card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 250$ on ebay. Sorry I did not call scott. I ended up not working at IPS. The car appears to have its issues fixed. Stupid air box. I need a bolt for the bottom it appears. Since I won't be racing any more this year i backed the boost of to 18lbs. I'm still going to do a pressure test.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I think I seen these at target. My wife was going to go check them out for the kids. The ones I saw used linux. Can they be made to use microsoft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yes indeed, though I think only XP so far. One of my friends has one. I'll drop him a line and ask him to post here.(Yes, he's a member) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 You can install Windows xp no problem on one. I want one of the 10" screen models. 7" is just too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 You can get them preloaded with xp home. The airbox issue I've seen before on an lgt. AFR's were perfect on the way to work using 4th gear WOT. I do got to say I fucking love this little thing for tuning. WAY EASIER then carrying my 15.4 inch dell around. Your right ROB I do overthink everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 128GB SSD Drive is tits since the entire labtop has no moving parts. Oh and they are pretty durable. Backlit LED LCD is sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Misinformation. More like horrid engineering spent making things look "cute" instead of function. Typical Mac style, make it look cute so idiots buy it, screw how it functions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 ALl the flash Drives I have including a 16GB fit in it just fine.

SpaceGhost Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Misinformation. More like horrid engineering spent making things look "cute" instead of function. Typical Mac style, make it look cute so idiots buy it, screw how it functions. It functions great. I don't know what you are talking about. I have never used the optical drive in my HP laptop except to reformat Windows because windows sucks. I don't want one weighing down my laptop. For e-mail, CR, Photoshop, and i-tunes, this thing rocks. No need for Antivirus, oh and no fucking WIndows. But hell it runs WIndows with Parallels better than most PCs. Talk to me about functionality. My Vista Machine dies on me every day and crashes in the middle of doing things. When a 3Ghz and 2GB of ram, a 320 GB harddrive, and a 128MB Video card is not enough to run the operating system, it doesn't function.

Stylist owns for tuning and you don't get yelled at by lame tech people at Trails for having an open laptop in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 My setup at home will be this soon: http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2041/1471/store.apple.com/Catalog/regional/amr/macbook-air/img/gallery-big-10.jpg Except for the Mighty Mouse which sucks. I will keep using my Logitec MX1000 mouse. 24 inch LED backlit display for when I am at home and want a big screen. Disconnect for on the couch surfing.
