The fact they are so disposable makes them great for travel or university/school. I've used an Eee PC as a secondary computer ever since they came out about 4 years ago. Do I care if it gets stolen or breaks? Not really. With TrueCrypt and Dropbox, my data is safe and I'm only down ~$300 AUD.
- pasbesoin 15y agoIf you have to travel in/out of the U.S. or another jurisdiction known for aggressive examination/confiscation, all the more so. Or, just have what you need on a server, buy a netbook at the destination, wipe it and give it to someone when you depart. (Be mindful of the limitations of particularly but not only SSD wipes. Better to start off use with encryption in place; any sacrificed blocks will be useless without the key.) When the prices are low enough, this can be affordable, if not enjoyable. I don't have particular secrets to hide, myself, but I don't like the idea of "gubmint" freely rummaging through whatever it will. And when are data are aggregated, we all have secrets. (E.g. insurance coverage or employment denial because of family medical history or crazy Uncle Joey or whatever.)
