I am quite amazed that such a laptop is coming out! I love the fact that it's so cheap and that it's Linux-based. Hope that makes it easier for everyone to find the specs. Operating system: Xandros Linux (with an "Easy" and "Standard" mode which can be switched between when inexperienced users feel confident enough to move from the simple "Easy" layout to the "Standard" desktop environment.) The Eee PC is also Windows XP compatible and (as far as I know) compatible with most Linux distros. Expansion and media ports: 4 USB 2.0 slots, an audio and microphone port, flash card reader, and a VGA output Battery: a 4 cell battery that gives it just around 3 hours of battery life

Internet Connection: 56k, 10/100 Ethernet, and full 802.11g wireless capability Processor: 900MHz Intel Dothan based Pentium M CPU Price (of the 2nd Upgraded model with a 16GB flash HD): ? Price (of the 1st Upgraded model with a 8GB flash HD): $299 Price (of the Standard model with a 4GB flash HD): $199 but here's what I've been able to find out (including what's in the review): :/īut where can I find its technical specifications? The predicted release time is sometime between July and Christmas with most people saying it will be released sometime in August. The Eee PC is not selling yet, although it should be soon. :DĮDIT: PartisanEntity posted my exact comments just before I did. how many files are you going to transfer to it anyway? Major storage is what external HDs are for. Besides, with the basic model of the Eee PC only having 4GB of flash memory. I use my usb thumb drive to transfer files when I have access to both the PC I'm getting a file from and the PC I'm transferring the file to. The Eee PC seems to be the perfect middle ground (at least for me).Īs far as the lack of a cd/dvd drive is concerned.
#ASUS EEE PC 701 SPECS PORTABLE#
For me, a normal laptop is too large, and/or too expensive, and/or comes with too many extras that I don't need a PDA is too small, and/or too expensive, and/or lacks some of the things I need in a portable computing device. I don't need a gaming computer to carry around with me, I just need something that I can do basic tasks with (browse the internet, IM, type notes, email). The Eee PC seems to be the perfect option for me. I personally need a keyboard that is at least close to full size. but those are just too small to get much done on. The ones that are small enough to be portable are generally the more expensive ones. I've never really owned a laptop because I never really considered them to be all that portable.
