When ASUS EEE PC came out, I wanted to buy one. But its disk capacity of only 4GB is a major turn-off for me. It’s not enough for me.

So, when Deep Blue H1 came out boasting of its 40GB disk capacity, I did not hesitate to buy one. Besides having 40GB capacity, it’s much cheaper than the ASUS EEE PC. The one I bought only costed Php 11499 (around USD 250), pre-installed with Windows XP Home Edition.

Yeah, there’s no Intel Inside because the processor is not from Intel. I’ve installed AVG Antivirus, MS Office, Firefox and GIMP on it. So far, no signs of blue screen of death. It’s not fast, but it’s neither slow. Should I say, tolerable speed? Yup. Just right. Or in Tagalog, tama lang.

And since it is small, my wife can easily put it in her hand bag while strolling in the mall. I actually bought it for her. Now she can blog as often as she wants.

I bought it at Villman Computers at Parksquare, Makati.
