Living in the fast lane
I have one minor brag with a computer that takes under 30 sec to boot up and login. Imagine a student collecting a laptop computer from a class box, returning to their desk and immediately using it. Joy!
The ASUS eeePC uses solid state disks for permanent data storage device with no movable parts. The highly customised operating system (Linux Xandros) is compact and polished and very usable. Check out this YouTube for a sample bootup video.

To date, these laptops are much loved and used by our integration students.
