Mini laptop for swap - ASUS EEEPC

[Nemesis]

NOW GONE
I bought myself an Asus Eepc 701 about 6 months ago use on the train to work and for mapping software when offroading. Never got around to doing either much so may as well swap it rather than it gathering dust.

Its been used but not much and comes complete with charger and box and in working order. No manual (though from what I remember it was brief!) It does have wireless but I have never used it so cant guarantee this works (I used it with a 3mobile dongle) As you will see form the reviews it has 4G memory wihich will allow Windows XP, plus virus software to be installed but not a lot else but runs fine with these on. You can put Linux on it to free up more memory if you wish.
The only slight niggle is occasionally the keys act a littlke sticky (i.e. seems like your ifinger is held on the key. But this always seems to pass after about 30 seconds. Always served me well on the train and when my main laptop has gone down at home.

In terms of swaps I would be interested in whatever you have. Maybe looking for a modular rucksack i.e. Sabre but open to any suggestions

For anybody who's considering this, remember you can increase the storage space by adding a SDHC card and if I remember right you can upgrade the ram on them to a Gig.

On top of that they're nice little netbooks.

What swaps you after?

 

[Nemesis]

Sorry leezo missedthis. A Sabre 75 or a Vulcan Bergan size three would be a good start. Otherwise anything interesting, useful or both!

Hi mate
I have a Berghaus Vulcan but not in olive, more civilian blue/green. It is in immaculate condition and hardly been used.

Any good mate?

[Nemesis]

Craeg PM sent.

Forgot in the PM, what size is it?

 

[Nemesis]

No message back from Craeg so still up for swaps

 

[craeg]

Sorry for no PM but after further discussion with my daughter, she wants one with a hdd so sorry mate. Good luck with the swap

 

[Nemesis]

No worries

 

[Nemesis]

still here if anyone has anything

I have a mod issue "other arms" rucksack with the two zip on/off side pockets. Also have a mod issue goretex bivvy bag and a Barbour "border" jacket if you're interested in either of those.

All items in good order, coat is a medium 38" chest.

 

[Nemesis]

any pics of the jacket? Is it waxed? Cheers

Just a heads up to prospective buyers, I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an Advent Netbook and it runs a lot faster than XP, uses less resources, uses less HD space and the battery lasts longer. Bloke at Uni has an EEE PC and it's a nice little bit of kit, brilliant for browsing the internet and doing basic day to day tasks

Sorry for the Hi-jack!

 

[fredster]

here you go:

A1 condition really. No rips, holes etc, on original wax coating and very little use.

Ive got a berghaus cyclops crusader and side pouches as well as another 35l day bag if your interested.

 

[Nemesis]
