<del>After updates, it started getting stupidier. WiFi disconnected every now and then. Turning off and on required to get it work again. It was pain in the ass until this issue fixed, I didn't think I could recommend this no more.</del>

Well, I didn't even critic its software side. IMHO, with what they already had, it was good enough. (although it could be much much better w/ variety of apps.)

<del>[Updated Nov 23, 2015] Since I found the WiFi connection issue, the decision to get rid of Ethernet port came up to my mine. They should have had the port and not to worry about it. So far, it was a nice idea, but implementation still came up short. If you wanted one, hold your horse for more polished one.</del>
[Updated Dec 23, 2015] The recent update solved the WiFi connection issue. New apps arrived. Google Analytics finally came.
Shell was a new product along with Slide Camera Sling and Clutch campaign and shipped a year later than the main product. It was a long wait, but hey, Peak Design was a trust-worthy seller.

### Impression
It was worth the wait. Shell came with a premium feeling and nicely fit my Canon 6D.
{% include lightbox_itemset.html set="canoninside" %}
#### Delay
Estimated delivery: May 2015; Actual delivery: Oct 2015. It was a long wait, but worth.
### Price
$25 at Kickstarter (pre-order) + free shipping to Thailand (actually included in the main items shipped earlier)
### Verdict
I will update more when I actually use in real life, but I am debating if I should get a small Shell for my Fuji X-T10 or not. Awesome quality.
Radian is a precision motion timelapse device that is wirelessly programmed from your smartphone. Is it good as it sounds?

### Impression
The initial impression was bad. I couldn't get it to work. Apparently, I wasn't [the only one.](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alpinelabs/radian-2-bluetooth-time-lapse-motion-and-camera-co/comments) What a bad impression for something that should make our life easier, but hey, it might be better as Alpine labs team ironing out all the kinks.
{% include lightbox_itemset.html set="set1" %}
#### Delay
Only 3 months from a promised date. That was good.
### Price
$200 for Radian2 + $30 for L-bracket + $25 shipping to Thailand + $60 taxes + handling fee from DHL
It was an expensive one. It also felt much more like a very expensive toy when I couldn't get it to work on the first try.
$280 in [their store](http://alpinelaboratories.com/products/radian-2) as of Dec 25, 2015
### Verdict
{% include lightbox_itemset.html set="set2" %}
3 days passed I couldn't get it to work with both Canon 6D and Fuji X-T10. Also, with a number of phones--iPhone 6+, Galaxy Note 5, and Nexus 7. Let's see if it didn't turn out to be a very expensive paperweight.
First week verdict, DON'T waste your time looking at it yet; you'll surely be regret. :o

<u><b>Conclusion</b></u>
<u><b>Conclusion</b></u>
This is my best solution for extra storage so far. Easy, fast, and secure are included in this drive. All I can tell is if you want some extra storage and you have more than one computer in your house, I bet NAS is the most suitable solution. About working condition of this drive, it produces little sound because of hard drive and little fan on the back; nonetheless, you won't notice this unless you sleep and turn anything off but this one. For me, $99 for 250GB is really worth compare to 320GB at the same price but USB connection only.

First of all, this will cover how I feel of Eee PC and surely I have both impressions and disappointments; however, in this article I will talk about Eee PC with Xandros Linux only; I just want to know how good Eee really is, not something else. You will find Windows XP Eee PC in the second month article though, so this way you will get more depth in detail. Hope this would be interesting.

it really matters for Eee PC. Since it is both the vital factor for everyone interesting in it and main reason why it has a drawback. For you guys who hesitate to get one, I think all these following photos could help you a bit. I can say that the 7-inch screen is enough to show enough web content, and you could increase font size as you want as well. No doubt with the quality of screen--nice, crisp, wide range of brightness, LED-backlit--no leakage, about 133 DPI. Unfortunately, if this has an option for larger screen, it would be excellent.

Size does effect keyboard as well. For Eee PC, you have almost standard notebook keyboard layout but just smaller, darned small and some awkward key position. I found this is just too small for my hand, but once I forced myself, I'm okay with it. I can type almost 90% correct because around 7 keys on the right is just too small to type precisely without looking it and right shift and arrows are in damned awkward position. Eee which sells on other countries might have another layout though. About the quality, you won't find any hi-end feeling in very portable laptop like this, but it is not that much flex to effect your typing experience indeed. Another thing that I hate about this keyboard is grave accent (`) position; it's between "esc" and "f1" instead of right before "1" as usual. Oh I almost forget mention missing "ctrl" key on the right as well. Overall, in order to compromise with small size and a full keyboard, so this is such a good deal.<center><imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/grave-position.jpg"> <imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/right-kb.jpg"> </center>

Smaller chassis also exacerbates mouse pad size; this is the thing I don't like about Eee. It doesn't mean it's not good to use--still working great, but it's just too small sometimes. If Asus just enlarges this a bit or about twice bigger than this (just increase the width of mouse pad like you see on MacBook), it should be very good addition. Furthermore, I will always impress the soft feeling of the button, unfortunately you can't find that with the mouse button on Eee. You are likely to put a bit hard, then you will here "CLICK" loud enough so that you can hear from 3 feet away. This doesn't effect anything but I just don't like it. Let me tell you something, it's just a joke to me when I first got Eee PC. I thought, from what I saw, the mouse has only one button, I had tried several times to press on the center, but it's not working as it should. After a while I realized that it does have 2 buttons (left and right), but on the same cover. I was stupid enough to press the center which is not the button at all. What a shame!<center><imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/mouse-pad.jpg"> </center>

The result of smaller size is need to use smaller size of battery as well to avoid something extra out of the body; however, the battery life estimation by Asus is 3 hours. I easily achieve that level with WiFi on, brightness as 50%. By the way, I haven't had a chance to track any of CPU frequency or voltage that may vary by the time, maybe it usually runs by the half of CPU spec--I will let you know later.

I have read an article somewhere about Eee PC, he complained about how difficult to get a printer works with Linux, but frankly I haven't had any problem with both local printer (USB) and network printer (Ethernet). I think for local printer it's much easier than downloading very large driver+program for windows because, with Eee PC, only several clicks through wizard. Then you are all set. By the way, printers around me and my folks are all HP, so I haven't had any chance to test with other brands. If I have a chance, I'll let you know. The following is the adding network printer wizard, it's almost automatic.<center><imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/printer-1.jpg"> <imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/printer-2.jpg"> </center><center><imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/printer-3.jpg"> <imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/printer-4.jpg"> </center>

The following is the adding network printer wizard, it's almost automatic.<center><imgsrc="http://media.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/printer-1.jpg"> <imgsrc="http://media.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/printer-2.jpg"> </center><center><imgsrc="http://media.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/printer-3.jpg"> <imgsrc="http://media.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/printer-4.jpg"> </center>
VGA port in Eee PC is awesome. You can just pop your monitor up into Eee; then you're all set. Eee PC will detect the resolution, refresh rate perfectly, I really mean that. If you are Linux user, you know how bad Linux is when detecting the monitor. I mostly have to do anything myself for sort of strange resolution like wide screen, esp. 1440*900. Eee PC surprisingly detects my 19" LCD with 1440*900 resolution without any problem and it works as mirror mode which is displaying the same resolution on both screen. Strangely, at first loading x-window, the resolution will be based on the external monitor, but if you switch display mode (Fn+F5), it will change to be based on Eee's screen. All you have to do is reloading x-window (ctrl+alt+backspace) to get the external monitor resolution. There is no lag; everything is flawlessly. This is such a easy and impressive part.<center><imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/vga-out-1.jpg"> <imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/007/vga-out-2.jpg"> </center>

<em>SD slot,</em> the way to save your SSD life. I am not sure how long SSD will last but for 8GB model you will have SSD on PCIe slot, thus you may find a 8/16GB SSD PCIe to change in the future. However, I think it will last more than 3 years because there are tons of smart phone using the same kind of storage and they still are in great shape now. For instance, my treo has accessed to NVFS every single day, now it's about 2 years old or so and it does not show anything strange at all. In addition, I still haven't heard of NVFS palm devices die because of reaching maximum read/write limit, so there is nothing to worry much. For myself, I save the e-mail data and almost every documents on SD. I haven't found any lag when accessing the data. So, if you have like 4, 8, or 16GB SDHC, it could be a real good deal; just to reserve SSD for any programs or OS and SD for any data. As a result, you will likely to have your Eee PC for good :-D

* _Small mouse_ - the fingertip grip style, mainly for laptop user. I found that most of them aren't good if you are using for a long period of time. There are some which are very good though. If you want a good one, you really need to have a strange looking--very fat--one because the curve of mouse will suit your palm well. You will not feel pain after using for a long period. The idea behind is like the curve is long enough to hold your full palm (from palm to finger tip.) That's why you will be most comfortable. Otherwise, although you feel cool to have it, suffering will catch you after a while.

* _Full-sized mouse_ - like mainstream mouse, suit for everyone since it has a long rest area for palm. However, things that could distinct between good or bad would be what material it is, how good it is built, and how smooth & precise it responds. It has been improved so much for the time being. You would know what I'm talking about if you were using ball mouse. Now you should know that laser mice are very by the model as well. Some might be able to use on only particular surfaces, some may be able to use on almost any surface. That's what you should know before buying one.

At least, you may adjust to the highest sensitivity to get the optimal performance. That's what I feel though. Yours could be vary.

The advantage of Bluetooth is if you have Bluetooth build-in, you don't have to waste your USB port at all, but comparing to wireless mouse (radio freq.,) it's a bit slower and does have a lag right before working condition.

These are not all great mice around since people do have different taste and favorite. But all above are model I like and it's likely for you to like them too. To choose your mouse, first thing I would recommend is finding one that's easy for your palm. Other Features are plus. From this standpoint you will feel positive about your mouse and be enjoy using computer more. I will try to review in depth of any interesting mouse as much as I can; stay tuned.

First take, similar to the original OS, I got into eeeXubuntu, which is based on Debian as same as Xandros, first. The installation is a breeze--less than 20 minutes to complete. I haven't found anything different significantly. I can tell that the interface of eeeXubuntu is much cleaner than Xandros but that's not the point really since if you really want to have cool interface, you could do that on any platform--just put some more effort :-D In addition, network manager is another area that has an improvement. While Xandros doesn't offer to automatically find and <em>connect trusted wireless networks, </em>eeeXubuntu manages this like a caveman can do. However, there is a huge drawback of using Xubuntu in Eee PC that is<em> veeery slooow</em> boot time. Thus, you may find better to stick with Xandros; you might have to put effort a bit to connect to wireless network, but that's not bad, isn't it?

Overall, I don't think there is any significant thing better than the stock distro--Xandros. If you want more, just add Advanced mode--KDE. You will be all set.

Take two, setting up Windows XP, I have a bit trouble getting it work properly. I went through the setup process, but after first boot I got an error message: NTLDR is missing. The fact is I hadn't remove all partitions in SSD (BIOS and something..) and the bad part is one of those partitions is set as active or like a boot flag. So Windows will not be able to start. If you face the situation like me, just wipe all partitions and install Windows again.
