Asus EeePc 701 News

The Asus EeePc 701, is a bit of an anomaly: a accurately small computer, with a low price tag to match.

The Eee PC is one of the smallest PCs on the market. At 225 by 35 by 165mm, it's about the dimension of a encyclopedia, and weighs 920g. Its small sizes give it a toy-like look, but this is balanced by the shining white surface, which provides it a hint of sophistication.

Ultimately, the Eee PC looks equally at home on the catwalk or in a child's playground -- it is what you make of it.

Much better, the keyboard for a netbook of this dimension is a engineering of innocent perfectness. Of course, it's small and does take some time getting used to, but given a little amount of time it's perfectly possible to maintain a brisk and steady typing speed. Keys have just the proper amount of travel and provide a crisp and steady response, while the layout is unexpectedly decent given the dimension. If any further evidence were needed, this entire review was prepared on the Eee PC and it didn't take any more time than it would commonly.

This is also acquired by the program provided, with the normally brilliant Open Office meets all your work productivity needs. By the side of a word processor there's additionally Presentation and Spreadsheet applications, while below the Work tab you can also use Adobe Reader, as well as Thunderbird for email and a Dictionary.

There are quite amount of hubs scattered around the PC. There are two USB ports on the right, as well as a third on the left, plus to a D-Sub video output for those who want to use an external display. You also get a memory card reader on the right side that supports SDHC memory cards (at this time as huge as 32GB). The modem jack on our review sample was blanked out, as there's no interior modem, but there's an connected Ethernet port so you can connect to a wired network.

Narcissists or video conferencing addicts will be satisfied to note the webcam placed above the display. It's great for taking still self-portraits or making little movies of yourself for assorted websites like Facebook etc. Speakers are placed either section of the screen, but the microphone is unexpectedly designed on the underneath of the netbook, which shapes sound feature slightly. You can, however, wire up an external mic or external speakers to the audio jacks at the left side of the netbook.

temperature wise, the Eee PC 701 felt a bit warm to the touch, likely due to its non-stop use all through the day on the display floor at Computex. It was then again very silent and the lack of spinning hard and optical drives made for a near silent experience.

In the end, the Eee PC is the only most impressive notebook we've seen priced for a very low cost. The technical specs might look sub par, but the usability and overall performance of the Eee PC rivals notebooks costing numerous thousand dollars more. Of course, you can't install Photoshop on this smallnotebook and you can forget about playing Need For Speed Shift on this thing, but the Eee PC can do just about all you "need" to do with a notebook while on move.

The only features missing from the Eee PC that really stand out are the lack of Bluetooth 2.0 and the lack of a Verizon or Sprint wireless card choice. If Asus can discover a way to include these features to the Eee PC we will go as far as to say, "No family must be lacking an Eee PC." As it stands now, the Eee PC is a truly amazing ultraportable with merits much superior than the sale price recommends. The Eee PC can't substitute a full-featured desktop computer or notebook, but it makes the right choice if you are in the market for an ultraportable notebook for university, office, or travel.

The Asus Eee PC might have a strange name, but it's one of the few products that lives up to the marketing hype. This PC correctly is "easy to learn, easy to work, and easy to play."
