Win an Asus EEE PC 4GB

The buzz about the Asus EEE PC is that it could revolutionise computing as we know it, and now you could be in with a chance of winning one of these bad boys.
This laptop, weighing in at less than a kilogramme, has no internal hard disk and no CD Drive, but with 512 MB of RAM, 4GB of storage; start-up within 12 seconds; shutdown in five; a seven inch display; three USB ports and a built-in wireless connection, it is a device that’s turning heads.
But that is not what sets this laptop apart from the rest. Everything you might want to use on the EEE is free. The laptop is based on Open Source applications, once the domain of tech experts alone. Applications include Skype, Firefox, Mozilla Mail and software from OpenOffice.org, which allows for the use of Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
It can go old school for terminal mode users or it has an easy to use operating system with tabs labelled Internet, Work, Learn, Play, Settings and Favourites; but it can support Windows XP for the average user, if you so desire.
This laptop is the ultimate in portable computing, because it is so light, you’d hardly know it’s there in your luggage. Wired.com said, “the reviews are in, and the damn thing rules.”
