The Eee PC is about as small as a subnotebook. It can be configured to either display a simple user interface for first-time PC users, or full desktop mode for greater functionality.

ASUS EEE PC 701 - Small but perfectly formed
Review of Asus Eee PC 701 by Future77

Advantages: Size, Ease of Use
Disadvantages: Small keyboard, small screen

This review looks at one of many netbooks to be released in the UK over the past few months, ASUS's EEE PC 701 SD. The model I have is fitted with Windows XP and has an 8Gb hard drive. I bought it on special offer for £155. Appearance The 701SD is absolutely tiny. It weighs around a kilogram and is roughly the same size as a hardback reading book when in the closed position. It comes in a neat box along with instructions,a mains charger, a protective ... Read review

A great device for mobile communications
Review of Asus Eee PC 701 by awcarr

Advantages: Small compact but infinitely useable, beating smart phones such as Blackberry or iphone.
Disadvantages: Not many, I just wish it would work with my router.

...incompatibility is with my equipment. The Asus support was first class, responding with a series of solution, which didn't work, and concluding with an offer to have the device returned to them, but because the issue is with my Thompson router, I don't think that would achieve anything. Everything is geared to online use, and I was impressed by the online storage facility providing what appears to be 1gb of free storage, integrated into the filing ... Read review

Pocket sized portability with the Asus Eee Pc 701
Review of Asus Eee PC 701 by milliontoone

Advantages: Price, size, portability
Disadvantages: Processor power, memory capacity

The ASUS EEE PC 701 model is an extremely affordable, small and portable netbook with a 7" screen and built in wifi card designed primarily for internet use. The standard model comes with a built in 2 gigabyte solid state hard drive and comes in a variety of colours and finishes ranging from matt white through to pastel pink. The white ones are probably your best bet as in my opinion they are slightly more stylish, echoing shades of the Macbook ... Read review

Great little machine
Review of Asus Eee PC 701 by excaliburuk

Advantages: Small, good battery life, easy to use, great for wifi, built in webcam.
Disadvantages: Linux makes it awkward for non techies to install new software, no bluetooth

...a million miles from windows. Asus do include the drivers for windows on the recovery disk and also full instructions on installing XP on the unit are included in the very informative manual but using them will require an external cd/dvd rom. There are ways to do it without the external drive using a usb stick / sd card, but you will have to do a search. In its stock state you will be able to browse the net and work with word and excel documents. ... Read review

Review of Asus Eee PC 701 by Jammie1000000

Advantages: Small and Portable, Cheap
Disadvantages: Small HD, No CD drive

...baby blue cover for my asus eee but any colour looks just as good. Inside, the layout is neat and tidy with reasonable sized keys for this small laptop. The sides of the laptop look clean in simple as is to be expected with a small laptop like this. Without a CD drive, it allows more room for the 3 USB ports and SD slot allowing the back of the laptop to be left clear bar the power port. Overall, a great looking laptop. Function With such ...

Review of Asus Eee PC 701 by genam

Advantages: Easy to use, light
Disadvantages: small, must learn Linux

I bought one of these 2 weeks ago and even though it is small and not the easiest screen to see on, I love it! Was able to easily connect to the Internet away from home, check files I had on a USB drive, without going to an Internet Cafe! It is light and easy to carry with you wherever you want to go! Only problem I have with it is that I will have to learn Linusx to do some of the things I want to do as my digital camera does not have a driver. ... Read review

Excellent piece of Kit
Review of Asus Eee PC 701 by Jammie87

Advantages: Size, Price, Speed, Screen, Looks
Disadvantages: Storage, Keyboard is fiddly

I bought my Eee PC In January for about £240. Mine is the Black 4GB version and I bought it to have something ultra portable to take on holiday for some light web browsing. First off, I have to say I think the build quality is very good, the laptop despite being very small, feels sturdy and the keys aren't loose or flimsy. Start -up is exceptionally quick thanks to running Linux, although XP can be installed if desired. To be honest, the current ... Read review

Advantages: Small and lightweight
Disadvantages: Small Primary hard disk.

I have two of the 701 eee pc's. One is used with Windows intsalled for the BMW diagnostic software (DigiMoto) and Navigation software (Navigation 8 and USB GPS receiver). The other, is as it comes from the box, I use this one when travelling, in terminals and hotels. I like the supplied operating system (Linux) and the software bundle is excellent. (SkyPE, Open Office). I have have had some connection problems when connecting to wireless networks. The ... Read review

Quick review of Asus Eee PC 701
Review of Asus Eee PC 701 by Chrissymojo1

Hey, bought this for £199 from pc world on the basis that it was small, very portable and cheap. Didn't really know too much about it. It is an incredible little machine. Have paired it with a 4GB SD card to triple the storage capacity. The processor won't break records, and the media playback software is poor, falling out of synch very quickly. But as a portable internet surfer and word processor, it is an incredibly capable machine. I am currently using mine to record audio from sessions in the studio. The laptop does get quite hot and streaming video is choppy, but for the price it is truly unbeatable. Can get about 3hrs out of the battery. 4 stars.

small in size, big in usefulness
Review of Asus Eee PC 701 by eitvis

Advantages: lightweight, nice design, easy to use
Disadvantages: small screen

...like this, checked alot of asus eee-like computers and couldn't find anything better. And i couldn't be more happy with it -- easy to use, very comfortable for your fingers, lightweight and nice. The screen is a bit small, but i did not buy it for watching movies ( it is good for doing that too though ), using it for my studies. Audotoriums are often very crowded but that's not a problem for me, i can turn it on wherever i want. The battery is very ... Read review
