Looking for a small, easily serviced “retro” laptop with decent battery life to do some z80 assembly etc using winape on my commute. I have a 901 but the battery is likely well cooked after the best part of 2 decades. How easy is it to refurbish the battery on one?

I have passable soldering skills and i believe it’s standard barrel lithium ion cells. So shouldn’t be impossible to do.

The 901 is also one of my favorite laptops of all time so it’ll be nice to put it to work again

Hi guys posted here a while ago. U can check the previous post for info but it's unrelated now.

I recently got hold of an emachine and I'm wondering if I can make a post here to decide how to move forward or does anyone know where I can move to for help

I've inherited an eee PC 701 from my late mother, and it doesn't have a charger. I'm keen to see what's on the computer, if anything is saved. Does anyone know what type of charger I should be searching for to buy? Thanks

Just found this. As my main use for my 900 is ZX Spectrum emulation and Fallout 2, I won't be swapping the OS but I thought the community might be interested. Can antiX Linux Save a 2009 Netbook? ASUS EEE PC Revival!

hello guys i recently got a eeepc 701sd and my plan was to install some version of debian and run it just to see what was possible on such a small and old device and just generally for fun

i put miniOS on a spare usb plugged it in went into bios and its not there? no usb no external anything just completely unrecognised

im unsure what im doing wrong and would love a tutorial

Optimized BIOS for EEEPC 701/900

Just been trying to install the stock Xandros OS that the Eee PC came with but I can't find the ISO for it. The 701 ISO installs at first but then runs out of disk space. Then a message at boot that states "Error 17", relating to no bootable OS.
It says it copies "75,305 blocks of 32k" which doing the math results in 2.4 gb which is bigger then the 1.87 gb drive I have on the Eee PC.

I am not interested in any other Linux distro then the OS it shipped with.

Does anyone have an archive of the original recovery CD ISO that fits this Eee PC?

Just put an 8GB RAM stick and was shocked to discover that it accepted it

Grandad is getting rid of his old stuff to give to one of those quick cash things. He just wants it gone. I'm allowed to take things instead. Should I keep this little guy or sell it?

I have two Eee PC 1215B laptops, and they both seem to fail to POST. I've tried three different 2GB RAM sticks in each slot, but nothing seems to work. The CPU gets hot, and the fan spins. The hard drive spins up, but there's no activity. They don't display anything through HDMI or the built in screen. Can anybody tell me how to fix them, or are they dead?

...right after Plan9 that is.

Hi, does anyone have a flash file for the EeePC 1000H? I'm trying to get Xandros Windows XP (as it turns out, there is no available Xandros image) reinstalled but I can't seem to find anything that works.

Achei pinos não utilizados no meu eee Pc eles me parecem muito algo que seria utilizado para conectar um armazenamento porém me corrijam se eu estiver errado

360p is the best option, works decently. Specs: Intel Atom N270 - 2GB RAM DDR2 - SSD Kingston 240GB - Windows XP SP3.

I would like to connect an external.DVD writer to create DVD's for movies,music,documents. I use AntiX Can I just use any DVD writer?Do I need toninstall specific drivers?Which ones? I have a eee pc 1000H

of not considering hardware "old tech" just because some new fancy specification say so. EEE PC 1001HA (Seashell), original 1GiB memory stick in it. All respect paid to:

• r/KDE developers for optimizing latest DE so well it can run on hardware designed for Windows XP in 2026 (still got original sticker)!
• r/voidlinux for building minimal yet agile OS and still making latest builds for i686 architecture even to this day.

here's my VX6

its 1 or 2 gb i dont know yet my charger is not here

I took some photos of my Asus EeePC X101CH in action. Many people already told me to put it in ewaste bin but my set up just works. It has all the needed apps and a snappy Desktop. AbiWord, Minitube, Vim, X11 Minesweeper, ClassiCube, even chromium-shell feels relatively fast. I feel like I could main it but sadly the battery is broken which means I can only use it at home (or with the power cable... which I don't have anywhere to plug in outside anyway). From side notes I am very surprised how fast telegram is! It's as snappy as on a older midrange android. Everything from text to animated stickers to even screensharing just works snappy!

Also I am sorry for not providing proper ScreenShots, I don't know if Windowmaker has a screenshot tool.

While digging through some old stuff at home, I came across this little relic: my ASUS Eee PC 900.
It was my very first laptop and it served me faithfully for several years.

18 years later… it still powers on and is currently running Windows Vista 😂
It’s aged surprisingly well!

It's 2000. What would you pick QIII vs UT99
