12 minutes, a 10 year-old and 1 Asus Eee PC

By Kevin C. Tofel | Sunday, November 11, 2007 | 1:31 PM CT | 13 comments |

I handed the Asus Eee PC to my son Tyler this morning; he hadn’t see the small notebook until this video. Well, actually he saw it in take one of the vid. This is the second take just to get thoughts from someone in the target audience for the Eee. He wisely knows that these are just his first impressions, so maybe we can have back for a full review after he gets some more hands-on time with the Eee. As I’m posting this, he’s already commandeered the Eee for his room and he’s playing Runescape with the neighbors. I think I just lost my Eee.

  • What a cute kid, and so smart. He must take after his mother. :-p Surprised that he thought the keyboard was a bit too small for him. I wonder if he’ll think that after he uses it for a bit. Good luck getting it back from him now.

  • That was actually a very cool video.
    I’m so tempted to buy one of these for my younger brother actually.

    Maybe not for quite the same thing, but so that he can tinker with the inside of a laptop and so that he can learn a little about linux.

    But he is pretty young – and I think would have a lot of fun with it.

  • Impressive! It’s easy to have a Eee. But not easy to have a son like Kevin’s.

  • It makes sense for your to have your kid review it cause it looks like a toy!

  • Ummm Quick Question.

    How Did You Get Runescape To Work?

    Doesn’t For Me.

    I Press Play For Free User It Goes To Next Page Then The Only Thing Shown Is The Top Menu Bar.

    The Rest Is The Black Background.

    Can You Help Me Please =D
