Great Deal on Mini Laptop

Ultra Mobile Personal Computers (UMPC) are all the rage right now, especially if you have kids.  These mini laptops have everything you need in a computer but not enough power to run really high end games (games that require very fancy video cards).  They are great for word processing, surfing the web, watching online videos, etc.  The UMPC's that I have tried were able to do everything I wanted for my everyday use and are so small they can fit into a medium sized woman's purse (the purse is medium sized, not the woman).  The best deal I have seen in a while for one of these great little devices is now on Amazon.com.  The Asus EEE PC with a 160GB hard drive and Windows XP Home is now on sale for only $342.00 and free shipping.  This is an amazing price for a UMPC with that much hard drive space and running a windows operating system.  If you have not heard of Asus you should feel comfortable with that name brand because they are the premier manufacturer of motherboards in the world.  They have been around for more than 20 years and any computer nerd worth his weight will have heard of them before.  

Now there are other EEE PC models that are less expensive but they will either not have the large storage space or will be running a Linux operating system.  If you have no experience with Linux I suggest you stay away from it until you have had a chance to use the operating system.  

If you are looking for a computer that will do everything a teenager or college student needs and are trying to not break the bank the EEE PC is going to be one of the best ways to accomplish that goal.
