Advantages: Small, compact and easy to use
Disadvantages: no windows operating system, tiny keyboard and mouse

...The Asus Eee PC 701 -- its a very portable laptop that cost me £210. Its a very neat laptop, being a traveller and travelling with my job, I need a light laptop with instant internet, messenger, skype access. This laptop gives you this with ease. All of my colleagues are intrigued by the laptop, especially the guys with 17" screens, lugging them around to every destination. The Eee PC is one of the smallest laptops on the market. At 225 by 35 by 165mm, it's about the size of a book, and weighs 900 odd grams. Its petite dimensions give it a toy-like appearance, but this is countervailed by the pearl-white finish, which gives it a touch of sophistication. Ultimately, the Eee PC looks equally at home on the catwalk or in a child's playpen -- it is what you make of it really! Because it's so small, some sacrifices have been ma... Read review

Advantages: Fast boot time, Good connectivity
Disadvantages: Small keyboard, horizontal scrolling, poor webcam

...The Asus EEE is one of those things that you never knew you needed until you get it. I have been so impressed by this tiny machine that I am planning to get my own once I have to give back this one that I borrowed from work. So what exactly is a sub-notebook anyway? Well the first thing you notice about the EEE is it's size. It's really small & compact yet has a surprising plastic but tough feel to it. You could be forgiven for thinking that someone got hold of their standard sized laptops and used a shrink-ray on it. The screen measures just six inches by three-and-a-half and has built-in speakers at either side and a webcam at the top for video conferencing. I must admit the only pictures I've got from this cam are 320x240 pixels which look tiny even on the EEE's screen. The main keyboard is small as you would expect. Well... Read review

Advantages: Fast for a older gen card & stable thx to excellent driversupport
Disadvantages: too expensive compared to newer series of cards

...card (Nvidia Geforce 8800GT 512mb perchance?). When I bought this card I immediately replaced it´s standard cooler to an aftermarket (Zalman VF-900, that voids Warranty) & applied AS5 Thermal Paste (note: caution it´s adviceable to use an adhesive/ceramic paste on GPUs & especially when it comes to memorychips, due to the silver particles in the AS5 tp is more likely to transfer current thus causing shortcircuit of the component and/or the components in it´s vincinity!),(ie orig.HS was cluttered with a thick goo of paste & the thermal pads of the mems seemed to me judging by it´s thickness would make the ramchips hotter than without them...no good @ all). The temperatures dropped about 25 degrees celsius compared with the orig. cooler, I kid you not! furthermore as the standard heatsink were pretty loud as to expect with smaller fans... Read review

Advantages: Ultra portable, lightweight
Disadvantages: Small processor and keyboard

...Review of Asus Eee PC 900 Laptop computer. As some of my Ciao acquaintances are aware I am currently travelling in the UK with my partner. We are both writers, a long term hobby, which has now become our income as freelancers. A laptop computer has been our trusty companion for some time, however as there are occasions when we both need to be using the machine, we decided to purchase a second laptop to make life a little easier. There is nothing more irritating than needing the computer only to find the other one is hogging the thing! We researched various machines and decided that as our main laptop is fine for Internet access by means of a usb 3g modem 'dongle', the second machine did not have to be anything too fancy as it would primarily be used for word processing. We tend to use an external hard drive to store our work so... Read review

Advantages: Flexible
Disadvantages: -

...Being a personal computer (PC) supplier, I try to find a 'better' product with better price for my consumers. As a fact, consumers would have a good product with reasonable price. ASUS is a well known manufacturer for mainboards. It always gets awards from several PC magazines and institutions. This image gives Asus a high goodwill? This is not my personal opinion, but it comes from my consumers. Awards? Some new PC consumers do not realize that awards are given to CERTAIN PRODUCTS of a manufacturer. As Asus products always gets awards, it does not mean all Asus products are the best. Seeing the fanatic consumers of Asus, and standing at the supplier side, I try to offer my consumers ASUS P5PE-VM mainboard as it offers the most competitive price and it comes with some nice features.

Advantages: Quite Cheap and Supporting Nowadays' Tech.
Disadvantages: Not Found, yet

...Do you plan to buy a new personal computer (PC)? Here is another motherboard from Asus – P5VD2-X. Being an indirect consumer (I am running a PC-Shop), I have built 16 PC using this motherboard since 4 months ago, and none of them returns to me till now. It proves the stability and endurance of this product. Formerly I recommended Asus P5PE-VM which comes with onboard graphic-card and lower price. Both P5PE-VM and P5VD2-X support Intel Core 2 Duo processors, but if you are interested in having a “better” motherboard with a reasonable price rate, I would recommend you to buy P5VD2-X. Why P5VD2-X? First of all, I know most people always remember “Intel Inside“, and “Powered by Asus”. These two slogans are quite effective and make people, usually people who come into my shop asking for the two brands, Intel and Asus as if they knew... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Easy to set up
Disadvantages: Must have ASUS (Deluxe/Premium) motherboard with Wi-Fi@Home socket, PC must be on to use the wireless

...Asus Wi-Fi@Home is a wireless adapter card to make a PC wireless enabled at a low price BUT (and it's a big ‘BUT’) with one huge drawback. You must have a Asustek motherboard and you must have one of their Deluxe or Premium motherboards with the Wi-Fi@Home socket on the motherboard. • Skip the following paragraph if you want This one follows the 802.11b standard meaning it can transfer up to 11 Megabits per second of data per second, although, my Ethernet (network) is only 10 Megabits (10 Million bits) anyway. 802.11g would be the faster 54Megabit/s standard. My broadband is 512Kilobits/s (512 Thousand bits per second). These are basically transfer speeds but they’re not that important since most home networks aren’t that fast anyway and the card is sufficient. The card comes with an antenna, driver and software CD, and user... Read review
