It has always been much easier to find inexpensive computers in a desktop format, but what about libraries whose space restrictions are as tight as their budgets? Now there are a number of new options for libraries looking to provide basic computing capabilities in a petite package at a very reasonable price. Obviously, there are some compromises to power given the small size and small price, but these sub-$500 notebooks just might fill your library's mobile computing needs.rnOne of the hottest notebooks right now is the $399 Asus Eee PC (just say a single "e"). This Taiwanese subnotebook handles basic word processing and Internet tasks with ease, but don't expect it to do everything the same way your desktop model does. It isn't that the computer is underpowered; with 512MB of RAM and an Intel mobile processor, the Eee PC 4G version is comparable to a standard desktop configuration of two years ago and can even handle Windows XP with no problem. The difference is that it doesn't, at least by default.
