Has anybody tried programming on the EEE Pc in Visual Studio?
I'm considering buying one so I can show some apps on the fly, but also make small changes to them if necessary, without the inconvenience of a large laptop.
Some key points I'm after:
- How fast it is
- Would it suit the needs of a developer making small changes to code?
It sounds like the specs would get completely owned, but I've heard/seen strangely good things about the EEE Pc, like how it launches Word 2007 super quick on a nLite'd XP install. :)
Just a thought or alternative suggestion that might be applicable...
I regularly use Visual Studio without any issues on my eeePC. The trick is that I simply access another machine running Visual Studio remotely in order to do this. This lets me have the convenience and portability of the netbook, along with the full-scale computing power of a real development environment.
Obviously this won't work if you don't have connectivity, but for me its an ideal setup..
