ASUS Eee PC MiniLaptop age groups?

Question

Hi...I'm thinking of buying a ASUS MiniLaptop, but I want to make sure it's not, like, really kid-ish...I'd prefer a (example) 10-14 answer...not just, "it's a kids laptop, I wouldn't recomend it" or whatever. Thanks!

Answer 1

The Eee laptops are not kid-like at all.  The only kid-like netbook I can think of is that XO One Laptop Per Child thing that looks like some kind of Fisher Price toy.  My black Asus Eee 701 4G looks very business like.  I waited for the black model for that very reason.  The Xandros installation has a kid-like appearance in terms of user interface, but maybe I think that because it is just really simple.  Its functionality hasn't really been dumbed down for kids.  If anything, more adults are users of netbooks than kids, and the manufacturers know this.

Answer 2

i wouldn't call it "kiddish"

it's how you use it that would make it a kid's toy or an adult's entertainment device/business unit.

besides, why concern yourself on what others feel about the machine is for, if it suits your needs that's all that matters.

Answer 3
