Asus Eee Blog – Long time no post…

eee keyboard

It’s been a while since my last post, i know, it’s my fault. I’ve been very busy with university and my other websites so i didn’t have time to get here and post.

I’ll try to sum up everything that happened these days “UMPC wise” in my life…

I sold my asus eee 701 a couple of days before the official release in spanish stores. A great move i detailed in this post: He vendido my Asus Eee, a tiempo.

I sold it to a stranger that offered 375€ for an “in the hands” sale. Awesome for me. Then i started browsing eBay for a new one and came across this e-bagel-tw seller i already read about in some forums and decided to order a 20gb linux Eee 900, it was 390€ shipping includded. Not bad considering how much i got for selling my old 701.

So it came and i downloaded a Windows XP Fundamentals For Legacy PCs rip made by a spanish guy called Karacorum (Ma quedao un XP nikelao) which i highly recommend to anyone because it’s so light and perfect. It even has a built in App to swith the “;” for our very own spanish “Ñ”.

Added the drivers from the Asus CD…

Then i started to customize it with rocketdock, and some basic programs, installed pidgin, vlc, firefox 3 and downloaded some games.

PokerTH Portable, Governor of Poker, Diablo, Neverwinter Nights, Lost in Time with Scumm and Unreal Tournament.

I was set.

But then a couple of days ago i stumbled upon Backtrack3 for wifi “audition”, a linux distro that will let you “remember” “your” “forgotten” wifi password. You know what i mean.

Im a total noob with linux but a guide i used worked fine enough to get my own password after a 20 minutes test. Ill detail the steps to do this in an upcoming post.

And that pretty much it.

Ill try to write some posts every now and then as i discover more things about my little liliput machine.

Asus eee 900: 802 Bios Update is Out

 eee biosAsus has updated his /bios folder and has released a new official version for the Eee Pc 900: the 802.

You can download it from here: http://update.eeepc.asus.com/bios/

I didnt try it yet because i want to read the changelog first but if you install it please leave a comment.

Edit: “CPU speeds and the unit does boot up at 630Mhz when on Battery, 900Mhz on Mains. The switch between frequencies when you plug/unplug the cord is still working.”

He vendido mi Asus Eee, a tiempo

msi wind

Lo he conseguido colocar a un incauto desconocido por un precio bastante atractivo. Ahora me estoy carcomiendo por dentro para decidirme si volverme a comprar otro 701 en Mediamarkt o PcCity o esperarme a algun otro como el MSI Wind ese que tiene muy buena pinta.

De momento estoy contento porque no le he “palmado” pasta al cacharro pero si estas en la misma situación en la que estaba yo hace un par de días no deberías dudar en intentar ponerlo a la venta en eBay/segundamano/compraventa o en algún foro específico del asus o más grande estilo Gsmspain/forocoches …

Espero que tengas suerte y te ahorres un pellizco para el hermano mayor o alguno de los competidores.
