Asus Eee PC: tiny laptop at affordable price

Have you been searching for a cheap ultra-portable laptop to function as your secondary computer, but have not find a right one yet? Look no further as Asus Eee PC is now in the market. Priced at $399, it's the cheapest ultra-portable laptop around, excluding OLPC's XO laptop. Although XO laptop is primary meant for children, Asus Eee PC is a fully featured computer suitable for both children and adult alike.

Asus Eee PC is powered by Intel Celeron ultra-low voltage processor, running at the speed of 900Mhz. So the device won't be a slouch running word processor, spreadsheet or surfing web, without sacrificing the duration running on battery.

With Xandros Linux as the operating system, 512MB of RAM is sufficient for smooth operation. If you decide to install Windows XP on it, there's a memory slot to upgrade RAM to a maximum of 2GB. Instead of using a normal mobile hard disk, it is equipped with 4GB of solid state disk (SSD). Without mechanical part in the disk, you don't have to worry about files corruption if you happen to drop it. The tough exterior of the laptop should be able to wind-stand rough handling. This makes it really suitable for kids to play with.

Can you imagine how small Asus Eee PC is? It's only about the size of hardback book when closed. So it's really mobile. Even the power adaptor is the size of a normal mobile phone charger. It has 7" LCD display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels.

Don't be fooled by the size of this sub-notebook. It really is a multimedia computer. You can surf online using Firefox browser through Wi-Fi connection as it has a wireless card. You can do video-conferencing with the integrated mic and webcam. It's also capable of playing DIVX movies and MP3 songs through the stereo speakers. It doesn't have an optical drive, but it is made up by featuring 3 USB slots. So you can expand the functionality of this laptop by attaching external devices like DVD burner, portable hard disk, flash disk, etc.

As of now, the demand for the device is overwhelming. The production is not able to produce enough Asus Eee PC to feed the demand. This could be the next wonder of technology, following the footstep of Nintendo Wii. It's easy to learn, easy to work, easy to play. What are you waiting for?
