    Geek Toy Alert!

    No, I didn't need it. But it's sooo cute..... It's Pearl White, and I swear, it's no bigger than a DVD case. I have a new traveling laptop.





    Yes. Imageek.

    I couldn't find one local either - I took a chance that I'd like it. I've wanted a tiny laptop for travel for awhile, but they are so expensive. This guy can't be beat for the price.

    That's cool. I already have a really tiny (but full function) laptop-a Dell Inspiron 700m. People comment on how small it is all the time.

    My only complaint about it is that I can't see the screen outside in the daylight.

    How about that ASUS? Can you see it in the daylight?

    I have that one, too! I love it! I used it so much that the finish around the touchpad area is completely worn through. Now it sits on a shelf in my living room and feeds mp3's to my home theatre system.

    (Confession time: I'm addicted to tiny gadgetry.)

    I have the same one and I absolutely LOVE it.

    I'm curious: now that you've had this little laptop for a while, how do you like it? Do you have any problems connecting to a wireless network? Any other issues or concerns? I'm considering getting one of these ( Best Buy now carries them and I have several gift cards to redeem). Thanks!

    I'm still playing with this and learning, when I've got time. No problems connecting to my wireless. The keyboard is reeeeeeealy tiny, I find it easier to type with two fingers, rather than try to use it like you would a full sized keyboard.

    I still use my regular sized laptop more often, but the Asus is perfect for travel (which is the main reason I wanted it)
