Comments on: The Eee PC: After a week http://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2008/02/03/the-eee-pc-after-a-week A permanent record for what's interesting today - this is my live journal Thu, 28 Aug 2008 21:14:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: cleary http://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2008/02/03/the-eee-pc-after-a-week#comment-131426 cleary Mon, 04 Feb 2008 01:54:25 +0000 http://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2008/02/03/the-eee-pc-after-a-week#comment-131426 I middle click by pushing the left and right buttons simultaneously - I also picked up the following tiny bluetooth adapter which fits in the sleeve and is not likely to be snapped off: http://www.pccasegear.com/prod6186.htm I thought the battery life was ok considering it is so small - I can get ~3 hours of general use (installed to sd card + wireless enabled). The battery does not add significant weight or size so to get that long out of it is imo quite satisfactory. I middle click by pushing the left and right buttons simultaneously -

I do find it interesting that the n810 and the current EEE have the same screen resolution. Oh, and Trent has a blog: http://lathiat.livejournal.com/41555.html

I generally do that instead of pressing both buttons, but I also prefer to tap-click over left-clicking. Bottom right is right-click, and in theory the positions are configurable, but I'm not sure if Linux has the UI yet.
