In 2008 or 9, I had about 20 Eee 701s shipped to the international school I was the IT Director at in Central Asia to make a mobile computer lab, outfitted some Gorilla cases with power and foam, and had a pretty decent cheap expansion lab. The downside was that our internet was a 10:1 oversub’d satellite with a max 1mb (and that was upgraded from the 5:1 256k that we had been on) and the teachers wanted the lab to do internet-based projects, and between that and the 3 DDWRT’d Linksys routers that I had scrounged from the bazaar since I had no room out of my 10k tech budget for the year that had to cover _everything_ tech for the 400 student K12 school, it wasn’t a great solution for the actual problem, but those little machines were awesome at the time. I know for most people, phones or tablets fit that gap, but I think I would prefer an Eee over my Surface Go for casual use, if just for the typing form factor.
