The good: Great value; three USB ports; design.

The bad: Cramped keyboard; lack of storage space; no optical drive.

The bottom line: 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.

Bravo Asus for pioneering the inexpensive netbook category for laptops!

It is nice and handy, but all the other add ons are external. Short battery life, and small screen. Adaptor becomes too hot, while recharging.

 

I call EeePC "My PDA"



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: size. it does matter. i carry on the go everywhere.
Cons: nothing that can't be overcome.
Opinion:
great machine. it is the ultimate in portable computing. yes, it has a small keyboard, but after a week, it's just fine. Added a 16GB SDHC card and installed most software on it. 8 and 16GB flash drives are dirty cheap, so storage shouldn't be an issue if you know what you are doing. 4GB SSD used for OS. yes, the CPU is clocked at 600MHz, but you can bump it to 900MHz if you really wanted to. 2GB RAM is very helpful on the performance. I use if for gaming, productivity, and entertainment. you just have to know what you have and what you can do with it. I can't leave home without my "PDA"
