Extending the life of your Eee PC 70xs

If you have an old Eee PC 70x lying around, check out this thread from the Eee User forum.

User RandyLude92 has managed to hack his way around his old Eee PC.

This Chinese computer manufacturer created yet another Macbook air knockoff that not only inherits the original’s good looks, but it also has almost-identical packaging! M.C. Gadget says that the box is indistinguishable from the ones produced in Cupertino. Also, the packaging is really convincing. If it wasn’t made from plastic – instead of aluminum, like the original – it may even fool a lot of people. More »

RunCore 64GB SSD on the Asus Eee PC 901

Test Freaks recently was able to replace the built-in SSD on the Asus Eee PC 901, benchmark it.

Now, installing it (on the 901 at least) is a breeze, because you can just use the built-in screwdriver to open your 901′s guts and remove the current 4GB SSD. Putting it back in would be the easiest thing in the world I would presume. Well, according to Test Freaks, it’ll just take two screws, and then we’re ready to go. More »
