If you can’t get enough of the ASUS EEE, here’s a hands-on report on the PC 1000 model. It’s not a full review, but it will have to do for now. Overall if I were writing a review of the ASUS Eee PC, I’d give it a thumbs up. It’s not perfect but, given its [...]

We’ve been keeping an eye on the MSI Wind for quite a while now, so it’s inevitable to get the review. How does it compare to the MacBook Air? Is it even fair to pit the two against each other in the first place? Well, the Gizmodo review doesn’t mention it, but it does compare [...]
