Many people LOVE the Eee PC and the Eee brand, but did you know this brand ignited the netbook revolution? And with it (at least) 3 lawsuits? (And maybe some DankPods references). There's tons of great history and products to cover, so let's take a look…

ALRIGHT WE'RE ARMIN THE NUGGET ON THE EEEEEE PEE CEEEE
-
Oh mate do I love my Hatch Pea EEE PEE CEE (I didn’t think my comment would blow up like that so thank you everyone <3 much love!)
-
I still have and use my 1001P Eee PC - 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Windows XP, and Serious Sam hovers around 60fps. Certainly not a daily driver, but it’s a great tiny super-light gamer with a 10hr extended battery. Great on flights!
-
The 10" GPD Win Max 2 is what netbooks aspired to be. I loved my Aspire One but lamented the inherent limitations of contemporary hardware. Nowadays, my Win Max 2 has a 16 core Ryzen 7840U, 32GB DDR5, 1TB PCIE4 SSD, and a 67Wh battery. It's everything I always wanted in an ultra-portable. Long live the netbook.
-
According to an Australian YouTuber who's pet snake is named Frank: "That's right everyone, we're bringing back the EEEPEECEE"
-
“That’s as much as 2 one-pound weights.” It’s the extra knowledge like this that keeps me coming back.
-
I remember my eeePC 701 fondly. The battery life was exceptional. It even was my ONLY computer for a year.
-
My wife loved her eeePC. She has small hands and it fit her perfectly. The response was better once I installed Linux on it, because by then they had Windows on them.
-
I love how Dankpods has made the EEE PEE CEE so iconic and we are all referring to it in the same way!
-
The obligatory EEEPEECEE comment.
-
I found an eeePC Netbook in a garbage bin a few years ago, I upgraded the RAM and replaced the eMMC storage with an SSD, installed Windows XP, and now it runs like a dream. It's awesome as a super portable retro gaming system.
-
I had one of these! I used to carry it in my bag to class and use it on the train, writing notes for class. I also used to hook it up to my Nokia N95 phone and browse the web. Mine came with a version of Windows installed.
-
It’s the Eeeeeee Peee Ceeee
-
4:04 - "That weighs as much as two 1 LB weights." Not a scientist, but that checks out.
-
Your channel is my childhood. Been watching since 2014 or something. Its incredible if you think about it! Thanks for everything.
-
I had an HP mini netbook in college, I absolutely loved having a small computer that I could take to class to take notes and browse my RSS feeds.
-
Nowadays, they are for a crazy Australian to fill up with nugget bloatware.
-
That Eee Keyboard PC is like one of the coolest unique designs I've ever seen. An entire PC build into a keyboard with its own screen, its like a laptop but far far cooler. I wish they weren't so rare, I'd love to own one.
-
I LOVED my eeePC, I used it for many years, finally upgrading it to the Dell Mini 9 because of the ease of which it could be hackintoshed. Awesome vid man, Always love your stuff.
