The latter figure is only marginally better than what the MSI Wind NB turned. I am using 1.9G (55%) with my limited but functional Arch install. The Eee PC 901 pushed data along at a rate of 17.5 Mbps at 15 feet away from our access point and 8.8 Mbps at 50 feet. I would check with the hardware however via a live distribution on USB to check and see if you have the 2Gb or 4Gb SSD version.
Dont try to get too fancy with it, its an old piece of harware but it can be used for simple functions. Geeks sells the Acer Aspire One for just 25 over the Asus Eee PC 701, so that should be a no brainer. The 901 series is a good choice too (no power drain problem you see). Due to its weight (just 0.92kg) and simplicity, ASUS claims the Eee PC is targeted at travellers and the elderly, but its primarily targeted at education. The interface is quite intuitive and easy to navigate. There's also a mini PCI-e connector under the bay which can be coaxed into doing cool things like adding extra storage or a Bluetooth receiver, however revisions of the. Just stay clear from the Asus 701 and 900 series. One of the first things that you notice when picking up the ASUS Eee PC 701 is the fact that it is so light. The keyboard, touchpad and mouse are all mini versions, but despite its size the keyboard is quite comfortable and easy to type on. Retailing for 399 or less, the Eee PC isnt exactly a workhorse, but it will do just about every basic task youd need from a laptop. I would suggest either DELL’s new Mini 9, or Asus’ own 1000H, or the Acer Aspire One or MSI Wind. If you really would like to use this machine, i would suggest reading up on Arch but only looking at DWM with dmenu, or an openbox setup (DWM if you have a fair bit of linux experience and command line / Openbox if you would prefer a application menu via right-click). Asus Eee PC 701 4G Review Origen: ENES The Asus Eee PC 701 4G is the new affordable ultraportable notebook thats bound to be on many consumers Christmas wish lists this year. However, there is a few Linux scripts available to allow overclocking of the processor but i found that the fan started having a fit when i did, which resulted in using another script to control the fan speed but once set at 100% the battery life went south very quickly. There was a limited model (701 SD) which had a slot under the access panel to add an additional SSD to up the storage but i was never able to find one so had to settle for the 4G.Īs for the performance its hard to say, you have to remember that the processor only runs at 633MHz single core, and RAM makes a difference.
