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.

The Asus EEE PC 901 ranked fifth on our list of Top 5 Netbooks for 2009. Although small, the Asus Eee PC 901 has an 8.9” display that carries a resolution of 1024 x 600. It is powered by a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor and also uses 1 GB of RAM (DDR2). It has wi-fi capability through its 802.11n Wi-Fi and even has a Bluetooth. Unlike other small sized laptops in the market, it has 3 USB ports. Now add an integrated Ethernet, stereo speakers and a webcam. It is no wonder then that the Asus EEE PC 901 was included in the Top 5 Netbooks of 2009.

 

The long battery life is just one of its many features. Its processor and graphics card allows users to experience good and fast performance. The 802.11n Wi-Fi and mouse with gesture-compatible controls adds to the wonderful experience. With such features, it makes you wonder if the Asus EEE PC 901 is indeed a budget notebook.

 

According to the company, the idea behind the Asus EEE PC 901 was to make a laptop that was an improvement to the Asus EEE PC 900. By simply looking at the design, you immediately get a feel that it is an improvement. The laptop itself has been redesigned with a glossy lid replacing the matte coat. The hinge was even changed and it now has a circular and silver feel to it.
