ASUS EEE PC 701 – Netbook Review

Posted on December 18th, 2009 | by admin

Asus-Eee-PC-701

Introduced some years ago, the Asus Eee PC 701 still has that selling power even today. The Asus Eee PC 701, as one of the Top 5 Netbooks of 2009, uses a 900-MHz Intel Celeron Processor, which is not bad by itself. Some people may say that it’s not enough but it actually starts your applications quickly. You may have trouble using it since it uses Asus Xandros, which is a Linux OS. While it does have a RAM of 512, sadly, its hard drive only carries 4 GB.

The Asus Eee PC 701 is also smaller compared to its 14” LCD counterparts since it only has a 7” screen. Quite small indeed. Bear in mind that this laptop was designed for people who like to travel or who are always on the move. People on the go like to use laptops for checking mails or accomplishing certain office tasks. This laptop is not intended for long usage given its small screen size. Further, because of its size, people won’t even know that you are carrying it. That is a good safety feature if you think about it.

Asus Eee PC 701 also offers users a very easy to understand, friendly, and tab-based interface. All you need to do is memorize these six choices. Internet, Work, Learn, Play, Settings and Favorites. As I said, very easy.
