Review of Asus Linux-Based Eee PC 701

Posted by kdawson on from the two-pounds-of-power dept.

Bongo Bob writes "CNET.co.uk has up a review of the Asus Eee PC 701 that runs Linux. According to the reviewer. 'It's hard to fault the Eee PC, mainly because of its price. It can be difficult to use because of the cramped keyboard, but it's better than similar-sized laptops like the Toshiba Libretto. If you're in the market for a second PC, or looking for something you can take with you almost anywhere, the Eee PC is definitely worth buying.'"

    Actually, it comes with Linux.

    It also comes with instructions on how to install XP as well as a disk containing all the needed XP drivers.

    Wouldn't it be nice if all PC's were like this? Support for more than one OS.

    At 8" x 6" x 1.5" and 2 pounds this is truly a device that is easily portable as well.
