Asus Eee PC


All those GHz and dual-core processors sound great, but but surfing the Internet, writing in Word watching films and listening to music are not tasks that require such power. Many are willing to renounce the extra performance in order to save money. Such people value small and portable PCs much more. This is the exact group ASUS Eee PC is targeting. You must have heard a lot about this PC already, since it attracted a lot of attention ever since it was first presented in Computex 2007. What shocked everyone was the specified price of only 200$. In the meantime, it turned out to be unreal, but the 300€ it costs now are also very, very attractive, as it is accessible to almost anyone.
the Eee is not your desktop replacement notebook. It was made to be a secondary, not main computer. You can easily carry it around, since it is very light, and if you have wireless access in your hometown, the usability and practicality of this tiny little guy increase by leaps and bounds. You don't have to be too imaginative to see the delight of web surfing, e-mailing or note taking wherever you are, watching a film during a pause at work etc. It all depends on your needs. Although it is not without flaws (small screen and bad touchpad), ASUS's Eee PC 701 presents a most interesting product, available to anyone at this price point.
