Review Summary	There're no two ways about it--the ASUS Eee PC 701 is a great laptop. It's affordable, sexy and highly portable. If you're looking for a cheap second PC that can fit into a small bag, then there are few better options.	More info	The Gigabyte U60 is a surprisingly good pioneering attempt at the UMPC market by the mainboard manufacturer. However, we feel the docking station should have been included as part of the bundle as it adds a couple of essential functions.	Better keyboard, rotation button and integrated Webcam are only some of the improvements the previous Kohjinsha SA1 that we appreciate. However, one major issue is in its choice of operating system. With a sub-1GHz processor and 512MB RAM, it would have been much better off going for Windows XP instead of Vista.	With its portable form factor and long battery life, the Everun has thus far come the closest to fulfilling the UMPC concept. Though it cannot run Windows Vista unlike some of the latest range of UMPCs, its Windows XP Home platform is sufficient for the majority of users and runs quite spiffily.
