Asus Introduced EeePC 701

The Asus EeePc 701, is something of an extraordinary: a correctly compact notebook, with a low cost tag to match.

The Eee PC is one of the lighest netbooks on the market. At 225 by 35 by 165mm, it's about the dimension of a hardback book, and weighs 920g. Its little dimensions give it a toy-like appearance, but this is cancelled by the pearl-white surface, which gives it a touch of style.

decisively, the Eee PC looks just as at home on the catwalk or in a child's playpen -- it is what you make of it.

Even better, the keyboard for a laptop of this dimension is a work of real perfectness. Of course, it's tiny and needs some time getting used to, but given a little amount of time it's perfectly doable to uphold a brisk and consistent typing speed. Keys have just the decent amount of travel and provide a crisp and equal response, while the layout is unexpectedly decent given the dimension. If any further proof were needed, this complete review was prepared on the Asus EeePc and it didn't take any longer than it would usually.

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

There are quite amount of ports scattered around the notebook. There are two USB inputs on the right, as well as a third on the left, along with a D-Sub video port for those who need to use an external display. You also get a memory card reader on the right side that provides SDHC memory cards (at present as big as 32GB). The modem jack on our review product was blanked out, as there's no interior modem, but there's an connected Ethernet port so you can join to a wired network.

Narcissists or video conferencing addicts will be delighted to note the web camera placed above the screen. It's great for taking self photos or making tiny films of yourself for assorted websites like Google video etc. Speakers sit either section of the screen, but the microphone is strangely designed on the underside of the notebook, which shapes sound excellence slightly. You can, nonetheless, wire up an external microphone or external speakers to the audio jacks at the left side of the PC.

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

In the end, the Eee PC is the single most impressive notebook we've seen priced for a very low cost. The mechanical specs might look sub par, but the usability and overall performance of the Eee PC rivals notebooks costing several thousand dollars more. Of course, you can't install Photoshop on this little notebook and you can forget about playing Crysis on this machime, but the Eee PC can do just about everything you "need" to do with a netbook while travelling.

The only aspects 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 selection. If Asus can discover a way to include these aspects to the Eee PC we will go as far as to tell, "No family should be lacking an Eee PC." As it stands at this moment, the Eee PC is a beyond doubt amazing ultraportable with a value much superior than the sale price suggests. The Eee PC can't take the place of 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 merchandises that lives up to the marketing hype. This laptop accurately is "easy to learn, easy to work, and easy to play."
