I really liked the Linux interface and found it easy to use and, although I would not want to use this as my only computer due to it’s limitations on configurability and the build constraints imposed by ASUS.
I wanted something small, light and inexpensive that I can take with me on trips home and abroad. Wanting something that will allow me to use internet, email and keep in touch via Skype…
…I was able to do this within an hour of receiving the Asus, sadly, not from some exotic location! I then inserted my flash drive and Linux was immediately able to open jpegs, mp3s, Word documents and a PowerPoint presentation that happened to be on the drive. I plugged in a usb mouse, keyboard and external hard drive and all were immediately recognised and available for use. I really liked the Linux interface and found it easy to use..

The processor won’t break records, and the media playback software is poor, falling out of sync quite quickly. But as a portable internet surfer and word processor, it is an incredibly capable machine. I’m using mine to record audio from sessions in the studio. The laptop does get quite hot and streaming video is choppy, but for the price it is truly unbeatable. Can get about 3hrs out of the battery

I bought a black Asus EeePC 701 SD 4GB a while back as I needed something very portable to take on holiday for light web browsing. The build quality is very good, and despite being very small, feels sturdy. The keys aren’t loose or flimsy. Start up is very quick thanks to running Linux, although Windows XP can be installed if desired.
