I had to attempt a meeting on 'cloud computing' ( a wonderful state of the art day from 01 Infomatique) (*). I decided to take notes on my new net book : the eeePC 900 , running Xandros system (linux).I have been very positively surprise by the battery power : 3 hours long ! Here are the settings I configured :
- no wifi : Fn+F2
- no sound : Fn+F7
- decrease light : Fn+F3
- I did not used webcam of course !
Despite the chair were big , and very comfortable, the Netbook was on my knees... I have been very positively surprise by the heat from the boo tom of the computer : I've been able to work without suffering from hight temperature on my legs.
PS :did I mention it was running Xandros (linux) system (not MS Windows power consumer...), did I ? Yes, I did ;-)
I've been dispointed by the keyboard : may be because my fingers are to big, I mistyped very often some keys on the AZERTY keyboard... Specially with the key fn+End , they keys combination Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and past...
Is this netbook one answer (among other...) to green coimputing ?
(*) I was there in order to get the more information as possible for my publication 'cloud computing and web 2.0' for my one year training at IMI...
