I need your help justifying purchase of a new computing device. Do any of you have experience with using the Asus EEE PC (mostly likely 2G) in a mostly unconnected role as an educational tool? I am interested in introducing my brother (high schooler) to programming type activities (esp. python). However, since the machine is being marketed as a "surf machine" I am wondering how well it would fit that role.
To fully use the Eee PC, you must run a proprietary OS. I would look for something else suitable.
I'm a little confused by this response, as I was under the impression that Linux was the standard OS on the "EEE" and that Windows was an add-on option which cost extra.
