Review of Asus Eee PC 701 Suggests Monster Laptop
25 10 2007 
We’ve been awaiting the shipping of the Asus Eee PC since we’ve heard about it. What’s not to like? Ultraportable, flash storage, easy to use and cheap. We’ve been needing a small laptop (not necessarily the 7 incher that is the Eee PC) that connect without fuss to the Internet with an on board word processor and a few other goodies. The Eee PC has what we need and now here comes Laptop Magazine telling us we are right.
As the reviewer points out, there may be a regular-size laptop with the same internal specs and in the same price range as the Eee PC, but the Eee PC still takes the advantage: “It’s ten times simpler to use than any Windows machine, starts up twice as fast (no crapware!), and is only about a fifth of the cost of other systems in its weight class. It’s a little rough around the edges, but the Eee PC is a remarkably versatile machine for the price.”
Summarized, the winning points of the Asus Eee PC are as follows:
- The interface is new and so user-friendly even kids and grand dads could use it.
- Size is perfect for taking with you everywhere, not least the 7-inch 800 x 480-pixel LCD
- Solidly built with all the necessary features like an SD card slot, 2 USB ports, an extra USB, Ethernet, mic and headphone jack.
- Apps are not sacrificed for size: you’ll have Firefox web browser, instant messaging softwares and Skype. Educational games for kids also included.
