12 minutes, a 10 year-old and 1 Asus Eee PC

I handed the Asus Eee PC to my son Tyler this morning; he hadn't see the small notebook until this video. Well, actually he saw it in take one of the vid. This is the second take just to get thoughts from someone in the target audience for the Eee. He wisely knows that these are just his first impressions, so maybe we can have back for a full review after he gets some more hands-on time with the Eee. As I'm posting this, he's already commandeered the Eee for his room and he's playing Runescape with the neighbors. I think I just lost my Eee.

Tyler, you rock! Thanks for doing the video with your Dad, we want to have you on again OK?

Really enjoyed it! You have a great and smart kid!

What a cute kid, and so smart. He must take after his mother. :-p Surprised that he thought the keyboard was a bit too small for him. I wonder if he'll think that after he uses it for a bit. Good luck getting it back from him now.

hey Tyler, thnx for being on the show!
Hope To see/read your full review on the Eee pc.

You have one smart kid!
i was like that when i was young, to bad they only had those huge laptops running 95 at the time...

anyway
keep up the good work =]

That was actually a very cool video.
I'm so tempted to buy one of these for my younger brother actually.

Maybe not for quite the same thing, but so that he can tinker with the inside of a laptop and so that he can learn a little about linux.

But he is pretty young - and I think would have a lot of fun with it.

Great review Tyler. Enjoy your new Eee PC and would like to hear what you think of Linux after using it for a long time.

Tyler you rock! you did it much better than your dad ;-)

JK never stooped this low to torment me, KT!! Kid has youth, vigorous health, AND an Eee!

Grrrr.... a DMCA (Disturbing Mike Cane Act) violation in spades!!

Impressive! It's easy to have a Eee. But not easy to have a son like Kevin's.

Excellent, well done on your first review. Hope to see more.

thank you so much as a keen nerd runescape player for almost 3 tears now i was wondering if the eee is anygood for runescape.

thank you and keep playing runescape

It makes sense for your to have your kid review it cause it looks like a toy!
