  1. I just love my EEE PC 4 GB model, it has become my social media machine. I even started a blog about it http://remeepc.wordpress.com. It is a great choice for a E or distributed learning platform, cheap, works right out of the box and doesn’t require and loading or tweaking of programs to work.
