today is the first time i've actually used the Asus triple E PC at work, usually i still lug my trusty 17" HP laptop to the office but i decided to give this one a try. so far, its pretty good, most people are worried about adapting to the smaller, cramped keyboard of the triple e, but for me, its not a big problem, my HP notebook has a full sized keyboard with a keypad on the right, which is the most common configuration for desktops, most laptops do away with the keypad and compress the key layout to make use of the maximum amount of laptop real estate. with the triple E, you have a much smaller keyboard and the number keys have been moved one notch to the left, thus forcing users to adjust once more.
the biggest problem i've been having with this keyboard is that i tend to press the "enter" key when I'm supposed to press the "apostrophe", its more inconvenient than a problem.
another advantage to using the triple e at work is that its easy to drag to meetings in the conference room or at someone else's desk. i also have a desktop monitor i can plug into but i don't really see the need unless i'm showing off a presentation.

as of today, i've used the triple e to write two word documents, checked a spreadsheet and written this blog post, at the same time, i've been chatting with at least 8 people while surfing 10 different tabs on firefox. the only problem using this is that my main email is downloaded into my HP notebook which i cant seem to access remotely just yet, but once i get that working, then i can just leave it at home and VPN when needed from the triple e. an advantage with using this at work is that it doesn't have too many bells and whistles, which means i don't get distracted with other programs like uTorrent or Audacity. its increased my productivity in some ways and restricted some others.

the important thing is, i love using this sub-notebook
