ASUS EEE PC 701 - Small but perfectly formed

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 case and a system CD. It has a 7 inch screen which is absolutely tiny but is still perfectly functional. The unit has three USB sockets, headphone and microphone jacks, and SD memory card slot, a small webcam above the screen and a microphone positioned just underneath the keyboard. It has a small touchpad which is small but works in exactly yhte same way as a normal sized laptop...

Review of Asus Eee PC 701

Pocket sized portability with the Asus Eee Pc 701

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 Air. The EEE PC comes with a built in microphone on all models and webcam on most models and runs on a Linux based operating system although it can be configured to run on a Windows based system. Windows based versions are planned for release by the company shortly. The Linux distribution is extremely stable with a Windows like user interface although for those not quite used to Linux you...

Asus EEE 4g

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

...Well I just love this laptop. It is everything I want in a laptop. It does have a few minor flaws but the pros totally outweigh them. Appearance This laptop is a great looking laptop. Only the size of an A5 notepad, it is small and yet it still manages to look smart yet fun. I chose the 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 a small hard drive of only 4gb and a small amount of memory of 512mb, this laptop surprised...

ASUS Eee PC 701

Advantages: Small, compact, portable, Works "right out of the box"
Disadvantages: Linux, Battery Life, Small keyboard

These things are like gold dust everywhere, so I was fortunate that a local store had a few in stock. It cost £219. Start up times is about 15-20 seconds...frankly quite amazing. It comes with the Xandros distribution of Linux pre-installed with what they refer to as the Easy Mode interface. Although it did what it says on the tin, I found the interface to be very "child friendly". So a quick hunt around the net...

Review of Asus Eee PC 701

underneath that toy theres a cool gadget

Advantages: portability
Disadvantages: linux

...asus EEE PC This review is of the relatively new asus EEE pc. Its been quite fun using and reviewing this one as its not like your usual laptops, and in many ways its a lot worse however at the end of testing it iv got to say I really like the asus EEE pc and however rubbish it might be I think I will end up buying one if some of the features just improve a little or if the higher spec editions become cheaper. I'm reviewing the cheapest version of the EEE pc as it's the one most people would choose to buy. It think if I was going to purchase any of them I would want the best one however as its only something I would use on journeys it simply wouldn't be worth all my money so id have to get this cheaper version of it. This one is currently the cheapest one and is still quite dear at £200. I do think they will get cheaper in...

Review of ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf

Asus PC 900

Advantages: portability and features
Disadvantages: small memory and no cd drive

...For a programmer it is very important to have almost always a pc with him to be able to work and note down his ideas and everything else. The Asus Eee PC 900 it's one of the most suitable notebooks for persons who want a portable tool with them all the time. But like any other thing in this world there are some disadvantages too. I'm not finished with the advantages but we will take a look at them later. The very small memory (according to today's expectations) of only 4G isn't very eye-catching and on top of that today even a telephone has 9G memory. But we should consider the size of it and the features that it has to offer that are almost the same as a normal laptop. You could always put a memory card and a stick to it although....

Apple iPod Touch 2G Review

Advantages: Features, design, interface, value for money, ease of use.
Disadvantages: Back scratches easily, screen positioning.

...easily. I bought a case with it, and in the few minutes it has spent outside the case, it has gotten a fair few scratches. The only other minor disadvantage is that when it is in my leather case, the screen goes so close to the edge, it is sometimes hard to type letters such as Q and P. Overall, I think that the iPod Touch 2G is a simply amazing buy and I would certainly recommend it to my friends....

Review of Apple iPod touch 32 GB

Asus Eee PC 900

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...

Asus eee PC

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. Would have prefered XP but will learn what I need in time. All in all, for less than £300 I got a great deal and recommend it for all travellers or people who need to sometimes be away from home....
