I changed my res on my eee pc 900 to 1280×1024 now I can get to the bottom of the various config windows.
Oh yeah I have mine in advanced mode and running BT3 from and sd card with save-changes script and compiz.

I have a 2gig ram stick on the way and yesterday I changed the black key board for a white ons. Now I can see it in low light conditions.

I watch fox news a day long on it.

It’s not fanless, it sounds more or less the same as other small laptop. I don’t know how good it is to remove the fan and then watch movies, perhaps install a really big fan to make it quieter.

I an watch my xvids which are a type of mp4 I’ve heared. But I can’t watch the ones I have in *.mp4 format, but they are better resolution. YMMV

Erik,
thanks a lot. So xvid works, mpeg4 works, HD doesn’t, right?

And 1280×1240 resolution works on an external monitor, right?

At least it might pose a good, portable, fan-less alternative to any Media Center PC/ Mac Mini IMO. Should be really silent then.

Or is there something which speaks against using the EEE for this purpose?

Thanks, and have a good day,
Marcus

You can play xvid on the eee but you can’t get mp4 HD stuff out of it. Might work if you use a VLC server to stream, I don’t know, and you will need to use a computer monitor as a TV.

So no it’s not better than a Mac Mini.

Hello,

I just found this thread, and maybe someone is able to tell me a simple (or not thing: Would the EEE be able to serve as a media center in my living room, streaming video (connected to a TV set or LCD) and audio?

That would make it much better than the Apple Mni, too. And given that it might be possible to scale up the resolution, this would be just another great use.

Thanks for enlightening me,

There are in fact a lot of laptops with 1440×960 pixels, at 17 inch. I work at one myself.

Well that’s one way of thinking.
Since laptop’s are quite light these days it’s quite a reasonable idea.
Ehm.. 1440×960? That’s the resolution of my 22″ widescreener monitor at which i am sitting now (of course non-laptop).
Then how large is your laptop’s display?

“nate – i donâ€™t think that it was a smart idea to buy another laptop since these things by the same specs cost 3 and more times more than a desktop with the same specs. Instead you could have bought a large flat panel display with a higher resolution and larger screen, but thats just my humble opinion.”

No I can’t. Not one that I can carry around with me. That’s the point.

Depending on how mobile I want to be I can have a 1440×960 display, a 800×640 display, or a 2080×960 (give or take 120 pixels) display.

It’ll totally kick ass.

Shouldn’t do that – you’ll surely get into custody.
