Asus Eee PC 4G Reviews

May.13, 2008 in Asus

The Asus Eee PC 4G is the first attempt to create a new range of portables aimed at the youth and education market. This cost-effective machine uses a 7-inch display, which helps keep the size and weight to around 900g, so you can slip this laptop into an average bag and not worry too much about the bulk.

the Asus Eee PC is the smallest ultra-cheap PC on the market, yet it’s arguably the most capable of the bunch. Design-wise, the Eee draws on Asus’s long history of notebook design: It’s altogether a solid and streamlined machine. People who don’t see the display might assume you paid thousands for it. This ain’t no Vista laptop, though: The Eee runs Xandros Linux and is simplified to the point of obviousness.

little odd, then, to be sitting in front of Asus’ Eee PC sub-notebook. With a Celeron ULV processor chugging along at 630MHz, GMA 900 integrated graphics powering a 800×480 display, 512MB of RAM, and just 4GB of internal storage capacity, the Eee PC’s specs are hardly awe-inspiring.

The Eee PC with Windows solves two of the key complaints about the original Eee PC 4G. Adding Windows XP and an extra 4GB SDHC card make this notebook much more attractive to most consumers who need a low-priced notebook that can go everywhere with them.

The good: Small, light weight, and inexpensive; Windows XP for the same price as the Linux version.

The bad: Cramped keyboard; very little hard-drive space; low screen resolution; new ultramobile CPUs are coming soon.

The bottom line: The popular low-cost Asus Eee PC makes a play for mainstream acceptance, adding Windows XP to create an impressive package for portable Web surfing and basic productivity, making it a near-flawless choice for a highly portable second laptop.
