The Asus EEE PC
Technically it's not spelled with all capitals, Eee. However, it is still an initialism. What it stands for is a bit redundant: easy to learn, easy to work, easy to play.
Guess they needed to resort to tripling of the letters since the i-craze, e-craze, x-craze, what have you, is so cliche now.
What's to stop someone from seeing "NEW EEE PC" and thinking it has to do a shoe size width? Also, wouldn't you want your products being AAA quality rather than low-grade sounding EEE?

You got your point there. I like your blog. You are very observant with the product names.

The Asus EEE PC is a good model though. It made it into my shorlist of possible new PCs. Now that you mention it, I can't figure out what the EEE is about.
I am glad I am not the only one who dislikes this name! The laptop is adorable, but the name, eee...I don't know, just don't like it.
Yeah. Agreeable.! Now I found someone in common with me on that. ha.
I have to agree on the name, though the amount of mods that are so easy to do it are increditable. Well, easy if you have a degree in electrical engineering...
Eee is rather low grade sounding. It also reminds me of Eeek!, which is a scream of fear and tells me to run away.
Not a pretty name choice.
:O)
It is a lame name for some very lame pcs.
Im not much of a fan of the name either but I love my eee PC!
2 many dang "e"'s. It confuses me with all of those vowels stacked up.
Jesus what were they thinking? Too many e's connected together for me.
That's really funny... I came across a group the other day which seemed to be using the hyphen in all their URL's rentin-marbella.com I'm now looking for funny versions with hyphens because Spanish names can be quite funny !
Maybe a re-designing of the logo may help a little bit.
You got your point there. I like your blog. You are very observant with the product names.
EEE-nough already, I love it!
I don't like the name either. It's kinda dumb how each E stands for a phrase and not a single word. 3E is too simple if they wanted to live by the Eee concept?
eee PC!! maybe "PC with 3e" could have been a better name
wonder how many man hours were spent thinking up that creative beauty?!
Its not right each and every product does gives its meaning. This one is something different.

I think re-designing of the logo may help you little bit more.
yeah, the logo is a bit much.
Personally, I really like the EeePC. Good value for your money.
I´ve a Eee Pc and it´s a great laptop, but the name and logo are so bad.
What on earth were they thinking when their marketing team pulled this one out of the toilet? eeeek!
The eee sounds to me exactly like the sort of noise you don't want your computer to make. So to associate that with your brand seems very silly.
