Asus Eee PC 701 Review - Ultramobile Notebook with Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The Asus Eee PC 701 is a unique notebook solution that I think will be more
| successful in the US than many people are giving it credit for. Even though
| it might not be completely embraced here as it was in Taiwan, the features of
| it make it stand out as a great mobile computing solution. The combination
| of incredibly fast boot times, low weight and size and even a small price at
| just $300-400 will bring more attention to this Asus notebook than any
| previous one. For people on the go that need a simple computing solution,
| the Asus Eee PC 701 might be the perfect fit.
