Asus Eee PC Review

Eee pc is a sub notebook computer designed by Asus. It is noted for its combination of lightweight, Linux based operating system, and relatively low cost. It is distributed and labeled as Asus mini book in some places. It has managed to be a satisfactory device that delivers as promised. The promise that the Asus Eee PC 901 delivers is right in the name:Easy to learn,Easy to work,Easy to play

The Asus Eee PC 901 weighs approximately 2.43 pounds, making it portable, you can easily take it with you everywhere and anywhere you go. It has an average but impressive 7.8-hour battery life which gives you almost a full day of computing. It is generally has a drop-tested, shockproof design making it perfect for almost everyone including first timers, frequent travelers, and business professionals. It includes a low-end Intel Mobile CPU, 512MB of RAM, and a 4GB solid-state flash hard drive (versions with 2GB and 8GB hard drives will also be available).

The Asus Eee is basically a smaller version of a conventional ultraportable laptop. It has a small 7-inch screen, with a resolution of 800×480, the laptop weighs 2 pounds and measures 8.8 inches wide by 6.5 inches deep by a little less than an inch thick. It can fit perfectly into a large jacket pocket. A Webcam sits above the screen and tiny speakers reside on the left and right sides of the display.

Tiny keyboards, as on ultraportable systems such as the Toshiba R500 are characteristic of the device which include Chiclet-size keys having key placement and double-mapped keys as well. The tiny touchpad measures 1.75 inches by 1.25 inches and works well on the whole, but there’s only a single mouse button–click on the left side for the left mouse button, and the right for the right mouse button. Overall, the keyboard is easier to use than any UMPC we’ve seen, but far more cramped than any other ultraportable PC.
