800 x 480 on eee is a tad irritating, but it's acceptable in the context of extreme portability and low cost.
One of the clever features of the Linux installation is that it will automatically resize its screen resolution to match any monitor it sees when booting up. You can also plug in and see instantly recognised a usb keyboard and mouse.
So: in your office and home, as opposed to out-and-about, you can treat the asus eee as reasonably well featured very small footprint PC. You still have a third USB socket available to which you can add a 2.5 inch hard-disk drive (which if it runs FAT32 as most of them do), is also instantly recognised.
