So today I went to the weekend car boot and I picked up an ASUS Eee PC 1000 I have no idea if it works as there was no charger for it, however it looks to be in good cosmetic condition so I took a gamble on it for 7 pounds. When I saw this netbook I thought to myself this could be another Puppy Linux candidate netbook... if it works I'll find out soon enough once I get a charger for it. It takes a 12volt DC supply I do have a HAM PSU I could test this on if only I could find my small bag of laptop charging adapters.
I love old netbooks and laptops and I love talking about them.
The first thing I need to do is see if it powers on and if it does, see if the battery holds a charge. I heard the batteries are very simple and can be re-celled without to much effort on the Eee PC.... I'll post some updates once I can find a way of getting some power into this.
I had a quick peak inside and its fitted with an SSD not sure on the capacity but if its 120GB or more then the 7 pounds I paid was worth it just for the SSD alone, hopefully it works. The RAM is DDR2 probably 1GB, it only has one RAM slot so 2GB would be its maximum.
I'd be interested to hear anybodies input or opinions on the Asus Eee PC 1000
