who's better elonex lady or the asus girl

i personally like the elonex lady

Hmmm, the Elonex lady's got a cute smile, but the Asus girl's wearing a bikini. It's a toughie!

Shame about that spec: please don't throw things at me Penguin fanboys but I'd need to run XP on it, just to get it all working with the rest of my environments.

Funny, I only clicked on the article to see if they'd managed to include a picture of the Asus blonde again ;-)

The brunette could be interesting, but there's something about a blonde in a skimpy outfit on the beach that does it for me. That and the fact that melon sized headphones aren't all that flattering...

(Paris, since I prefer the [stereotypically] ditzy blonde)

Elonex gal scores my vote too. Maybe by the time her toy reaches all the way up here to Aotearoa, it will have been upgraded into smoething more useful. Hopefully the marketing team will also see the wisdom of featuring her more than it.

Twice in one day!!!

I feel a pole coming on (oops sorry - that should be poll)

..at least she is willing to look at us, finding the presence of other (albeit geeky) human beings more interesting than the diminutive laptop in fromt of her. Of course, she is not actually listening to us with those giant headphones on, but at least there is some acknowledgment to validate our pathetic existences.

Oh, and the computer looks a bit top-heavy to me. Wonder what having the ports on the lid will do for balance one a few USB dongles and rocket launchers have been attached?

1. Nice 'phones

2. Prefer girls with dark hair

3. More left to the imagination

nice set of cans.......

....the terrible photoshopping on that Eee picture.

I suppose once you've seen something nice a thousand times (!) you start to spot the flaws a bit more..

models?! Looks to me like they bring different things depending on your desires!

I'll take the Elonex girl and the Asus PC, please.

In fact, scrap the PC.

Paris is not in the same league.

Hmm.

It would be just _rude_ of me to make a decision like that without test driving the merchandise.

It's the brown mac. Yes, that's it, the grubby one.

I think the Elonex lady wins for me too.... now if we could only get her to pose like the asus lady

Vote for Elonex girl here.

... that the Elonex female seems to have very unusual ears.

(Could you find my coat for me, please? I can't see it.)

The Elonex lady seems more real and approachable than the Asus girl. Why's the thing upside down, though? It's got all heavy bits and ports at the top of the screen, that's going to be awkward with ethernet and USB wotsits plugged in...

Paris icon because we're both confused.

I own an eee but that elonex creature... I'm with you though I'd rather be with her.

no obvious signs of cellulite, either.

But to the system: just 1GB of solid state? I suppose you add an external USB HDD and you'd be OK.

I'll have to go for the Brunette too.

I'm surprised that a Blond Chick would even know what the Eee was or why it had to use *nux, since Vista is so much better looking.

PH cause? well I dunno really does there need to be a reason?!

@ScientologyIsACult - I'm with you on this one

and if the Elonex is advertised as splashproof, then I vote that she should be shown suitably demonstrating this property.

Lots more Elonex stories please.

I prefer the brunette.

I might even buy one of the machines.

I'd pick the elonex model ... :)

Is this box an undersized x86 laptop, or an upsized StrongARM superPDA (think HP Jornada 720, quite a few years later)?

Does it matter which one it is?

Does it omit anything which 90% of the PC-using public would actually miss if they didn't have it?

Whatever happened to the Psion Netbook, looks like it might have started to be trendy round about now...

Can we have the elonex lady in a bikini please? (Think the asus girl would get a bit hot on that beach in more than a bikini.) Just to make the comparison fair ;)

Also would probably raise demand for the machine if they used the bikini pic in *online* advertising ;)

Old adage about s*x selling

plus might plant the idea in female heads that it would be a neat toy for the beach, and might plant the idea in mens heads that getting the lady in their life to the beach might be easier ;-)

paris as she might think a mini laptop would go well with mini dog like tinkerbell :)

I think the Eee PC has the edge on cleavage^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h performance.

Yes elonex lady for me. Looks much more friendly.

i have a eee pc and went to the education show just to see this, wasnt expecting much, but its solid, runs well , looks bloody ace. I want one, my missus wants one, my dog wants one ... and at 99 quid i dont see why we cant all have one 11/10

Sorry, but having the usb and ethernet ports on the screen side of the machine has to the frikin stupidest thing i have seen in a long, long time.

And until the elonex molly gets into her bikini, ill reserve my decision on that important element of the purchasing decision making process.

if they can take a tenner off the price for the june wait, then why can't insert a decent processor instead and give the eee some decent competition....

Forget hot specs, find a hot babe. Designers might even want to match the colour of the kit to the colour of her eyes.

Seriously, though, I'm for the elonex lady personally

Asus girl for looks, Elonex girl for personality... (she's smiling!)

another great british cock-up...

announce the product and then make the public wait 3 months for the thing, by which time they''d bought eee's or every other manufacturer will have something better in the market place...

why can't we ever do anything properly...

nicer looking lady, sure, but I wouldn't buy one. Then, I wouldn't buy an EeePC either.

Ps: gotta be Paris. Nice to look at, but I wouldn't touch it.
