Asus Eee PC 701 4G Review

The designers at Asus had no easy task creating an attractive ultraportable notebook while also making it cheap to produce. The case seams match up with reasonably tight tolerances, plastics feel thick (though the pearl-like white plastics look cheap)...

Small and light ; Easy to use ; Reasonably well built and durable ; Low price for an ultraportable ; Works right out of the box ; That's right. It works right out of the box ; Did I mention it works right out of the box

A little expensive for a notebook with only 4GB of storage ; No Microsoft Windows pre-installed is a negative for some buyers ; Plastics “look” cheap ; The battery meter isn't very accurate

The battery meter isn't very accurate

Asus EeePC 701

The EeePC isn't for everyone — in fact within about two seconds from picking it up you'll know if it's for you or not. For those it does appeal to, it's a brilliant little thing that fills a much lamented gap.

Super light, Attractive, Sturdy, Well featured, Great for first time users

Keyboard is a bit too small for adult fingers, Inbuilt microphone is insanely placed, Needs a configurable scrolling area on the touchpad, Touchpad isn't very responsive to tap-clicking
