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.'"

    I've always been rather intrigued by the AlphaSmart Dana (where do they come up with these names...). 25 hour battery, full sized keyboard, decent sized touch screen (looks like 640x200), wireless, USB, some mysterious expansion slots (can't figure out what kind), and above all it runs PalmOS. Which means you can use your own applications on it.

    Does anyone actually have one? Or has seen one?
