A bit more on the EEE PC 1000HD

From a comment on my previous post I noticed that I was remiss in not mentioning how this incredible little computer performs when used to play media. I shall now strive to correct this omission.

For music I have to say it performs exceptionally well. I have used it with Apple's iTunes to listen to some music while I worked and it certainly performs that job well enough. To be truthful I never really doubted that. More impressive was the performance of the computer on running full screen movies. It does so flawlessly.

I've added to my home tool set an external LG DVD burner which connects through a USB connection. Through this drive I was able to play movies perfectly. I've also connected the EEE PC 1000HD to a 22 inch LG TV monitor getting excellent picture.

Since installing XP on my netbook I was able to get much higher resolution on the external monitor than with the Linux distribution that comes installed. This was, actually, the only restriction I had to the installed Linux, other than not running Morfik (a Windows only application).

All in all, I guess you can consider the EEE PC 1000HD to be quite equal to the task of playing all kinds of media.
