Hi.

Does anyone have experience using an Eee device and VCDS together?
Is there anything against it?

I'm considering getting an Eee PC "for cable internet access."

Okay, here's the translation:

Thank you.

Okay, right now I can only test with the Akoya e1210 using VCDS, because I bought one. I know the Eee is different, but I'm very happy with the Akoya!

Hi,

I currently have an A110 from One. Compared to the EEE, it has the advantage of being significantly cheaper (199 Euros) and offering a much longer battery life (4 to 5 hours with the standard battery). However, this only applies to the Linux version of the A110; the A150 and A450 have smaller batteries. It's also possible to reinstall Windows on it. Therefore, it could also be an alternative as a VCDS-only device.

I haven't tried it yet, but it's supposed to run on Linux (but on my version, not the one that's currently installed).

Best regards,

Jan.

Matthias,

That's the Aldi thing. Yes, darn it, I was in France when it came out... and now it's too late, because Aldi only has the item in stock for one week icon_sad.gif.

That's what I wanted.

Hello Martin,

Yes, that's the Aldi product. I'm very happy with it and I only use it when I'm on the go. However, it's essentially a "modified" MSI Wind 100, which is also being released on the market for a similar price, and it comes with Bluetooth... that one is also quite good.

I've been running VCDS for about six months now on a small, black Eee PC 701.
So far, no problems at all, it's simply great.

I'm using an Acer C100 with 256MB of RAM, an 800 MHz processor, a 20 GB hard drive, and a 10.4" touchscreen display. I bought it used for €280. The battery isn't the best anymore, but I have a DC converter from 12V to 20V that I connect via the cigarette lighter socket. It works perfectly with that. However, the display can only be operated with a stylus.[/sub]

Not all bugs with and on the Asus E³ have been resolved. However, according to the manufacturer, this is currently being worked on icon_wink.gif.
