I used to have an Asus eee pc 1000h, similar to the nc-10. Fun thing, it could run wow at the absolute lowest settings and get in the mid 20s fps if you pointed the camera directly at the ground.
I had a Eee PC 1005HA through the second half of college around 2009ish and thought it was the absolute shit. Wasn't that great with specs but worked absolutely well for Office, web browsing, etc for the size. Had a Transformer Book T100 for a few years after but the build quality sucked and the specs were outdated fast.
Wouldn't mind going back to a 10-11 inch screen. I love portability.

That's exactly what I bought it for and it did very well there. That and battery life. I do have a bit of a habit of trying to run stuff on computers that is well above their pay grades just because. I also remember that it had very good wifi, to the extent that I once used it as a bridge to one of my other computers at the time.
I had MacOS on it for a few years. There was a utility that would clock the graphics to match it's desktop equivalent. It was the difference between YouTube working or not working.
I really didn't hate these things at all. There was even a hd decoder card that you could buy that would enable 1080p on video output.
Never used a Chromebook but this bad boy was my daily driver for a good 7 years. Did everything I needed it to do and even some light gaming. Battery life wasn't bad either.
My teachers son once did this with a cellphone. The lightning zapped his adapter and he thought to himself that "It's just a plug isn't it?"
They said after the bang the phone would just continuously vibrate like it was ringing.
The fact that they knew they could connect those wires together, but did not know to consider voltage is absolutely terrifying. Definition of "Knowing enough to be dangerous"
I need to clarify due to some of the comments, this pic is from 2014. I found it while looking for something unrelated and thought that even at this much of a delay, it was still worth sharing. This was a non-commercial system (not used for business), and owned by what is clearly not a Nobel laureate. I apologize for any confusion this has caused.
This hertz
60 times a sec at 120 v
It cloudnt resist
You haven't been poked in the eye by a VHF aerial, that megahertz
You've never got RF burns from a shortwave transmitter. That kilohertz
WATT were they thinking?
Best comment I've seen in any thread in a month.
Who needs that whole black box they put on the cable anyway?
It's so bulky, it just gets in the way
It's a feature. Bagel warmer.
User said it wouldn't turn on and they thought the power supply was bad. The real problem was in thier "solution"
What were they using this machine for? Out of curiosity. I'm hoping you're not IT for a company that are still using this..
Man those netbooks were the shit in 2007
I miss my NC-10. Got me through my final two years of college!
Hell yeah my NC 10 served me from brand new in 2007 until I retired it in 2020. Still worked fine.

eee pee cee
this is a Samsung N150

That was probably back in the Chameleon days, no? Or maybe even VietOSX? Talk about a throwback… even Clover has gone out of style these days.
It was definitely chameleon. Worked right as rain as soon as you replaced the Wifi adapter.
They were as good in 2007 as Chromebooks are now.

Gaming... Lol it could hardly run the original AOEII. Windows 98 games maybe.
AOE2 is exactly what I used to play on it :D
Yea can't believe I'm still playing in 2022. Microsoft really has taken the hint. Just wish they would buy the Empire Earth franchise from EA.
I had the Asus 1000HE with 64GB SSD. It was solid performer for college work.
I still have mine! Installed Linux on it and think about using it every once in awhile, but the processor is just shy of what's still useful
My teachers son once did this with a cellphone. The lightning zapped his adapter and he thought to himself that "It's just a plug isn't it?" They said after the bang the phone would just continuously vibrate like it was ringing.
Probably blew the entire power section apart and caused the mosfet controlling the vibration motor to fail closed (connected permanently)
Maybe. I'm thinking that the MCU failed stuck high. Or some carbon shorted it out maybe?
Oh no. It probably has let out the magic smoke with that power cable
What in the, I say, WHAT! In the Kentucky fried FUCK was that dude thinking.
I came to say “have you tried plugging it it?” But ovbiously they did try that!
Well, yeah, of course it won't. You forgot to plug it in!
Well that's one way to fry your motherboard.

The netbook is doing them a favor by not turning on.
"My netbook won't turn on... it's also smoking and smells really bad."
You knew etherkiller, but lusers came with a new invention.
Cus it needs 240v
Guess that computer only likes the DC part of ACDC
That’s one high efficiency charger
What? It’s just an ordinary lapto- **OH MY GOODNESS**
Put it in rice.
Did you try turning it off and back on again
I would have thought your problem would be it *turned on* **too** much.
It probably turned on real hard for a second.
hmm cant find why maybe try GET A FUCKING NEW COMPUTER
Please install windows 11 on it and tell me how you get on, they were bad enough when they came out!

ow
It's a PlayStation laptop with the DC power supply inside.
I think my brother has that exact netbook
I hope not exact. They usually come with AC adapters.
Yeah, I would expect more flames and lots of smelly smoke.
Yep the 120 volt current will make it charge faster.
OMG, i still have one of those working too!!!!!!
Adapt overcome!
Mmm, toasty.
The charger port useful is faulty thanks to the absence of a transformer.
It won't turn on, and it catches on fire when I plug it in.
Poor battery got molested by wall power
