I know the Asus eeePC built in screen is 800x480 but can anyone tell
me what happens when you plug in an external monitor? Is it any
better?

I can live with a tiny screen on the move but only if I can get a
decent
size(ie. 1024x768 min) when "docked".

Thanks for the pointer.
I found the annswer in the beginners questions and for the sake of
reference
here it is:

----------------
The built in screen maxed at 800x480, which is what you get.
If you have an external monitor you can go to 1600x1280.
-----------------

So the answer is pretty decent!

Thanks again,

Indeed! I wonder what kind of video chip they use in that tiny
laptop to get this kind of resolution.
