Comments on: OLPC News meetup followup: XO v. ASUS Eee http://configures.sarahelkins.org/2007/11/16/olpc-news-meetup-followup-xo-v-asus-eee/ Figure it out ... with me!

The Eee looked pretty sharp in the bar (meetup; lighting not low-low but not bright either). OTOH I was just looking over someone's shoulder, not trying to read and answer email. For the XO, I don't have any doubt about its resolution (i.e., excellent resolution). The trouble THERE is rumors about trouble with Ajax and other modern stuff (Flash?) which means some websites won't display properly. I don't know if that will be fixed in this release. I don't have Flash installed on my home Linux box, though, and get by fine there. Hmm. The Eee looked pretty sharp in the bar (meetup; lighting not low-low but not bright either).

The low resolution of the Eee has me a bit hesitant to use it as a mobile Internet appliance. Do you think the screen sizes on the XO and Eee would make for enjoyable Web browing?
