Asus Eee PC 2G Surf Notebook

   Posted by: Erikson   in Technology

Welcome back!

asus_eee_pc_2g_surf Get the power of a full-sized laptop in the ultra-compact ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf, which offers a full QWERTY keyboard, 7-inch screen, and preinstalled Linux operating system. (This laptop is also compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.) You’ll be able to stay connected to email and the Internet easily thanks to the Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g). Because it uses flash memory instead of a hard drive (with 2 GB of storage), the Eee PC is optimal for weathering rough handling and sharing space in overstuffed bags. This 2 GB Surf model does not include an integrated Webcam. (For users requiring a built-in web camera, there are the 4G and 8G models.)

For the students and professionals, the Eee PC comes with a powerful selection of software to maximize personal productivity–over 40 built-in applications. The Open Office suite of software enables the user to open, edit and create documents, presentations, spreadsheets and databases that are compatible with Microsoft Office. For journalists, photographers and other professionals who need to use a computer in the field to create, to communicate and to collaborate with other colleagues, the Eee PC’s combination of power, extreme portability and rugged build makes it the ideal computing solution.

It’s also a great choice for young students, with a built-in Dictionary that’s great for homework, and it includes two modes of intuitive graphic user interface design to accommodate both experienced and inexperienced PC users. The Eee PC also handles your digital images, movies, and music as well as Internet radio.

Compact and highly portable at just 32 ounces, the Eee PC 2G has a 7-inch wide color TFT LCD with an 800 x 480-pixel resolution (WXGA). Under the hood is a 800 MHz Intel Mobile CPU with integrated Intel graphics processor, 512 MB of RAM (not expandable), and 2 GB of solid-state flash memory. With the dependable solid-state disk, you get unparalleled shock-protection and reliability. In addition to its wireless LAN, it also offers wired Fast Ethernet (10/100) connectivity and a 56K modem. The Eee PC includes software for Web browsing (Firefox), email, OpenOffice 2.0 for creating and editing word processing documents and spreadsheets, and a suite of other productivity software to help keep you on track.

You get three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA output for connecting to external monitors, headphone and microphone jacks, and a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot. The Eee PC measures 8.9 x 6.5 x 1.4 inches, and it weighs 32 ounces.

I didn’t like the configuration of this Asus…too poor. I think it’s better to buy a real notebook than this Eee…What about a Macbook??

I think that’s the consequency for a cheap laptop, you still need extra money for upgrading. If you’re student, it’s the best you can get. For professional, maybe a real notebook is what you need. MacBook? That’s great but the price is not that cheap.
Thanks.

I agree with you that it’s really god for student. For professionals I think it would cost for more spend on storage capacity.
Thanks.
@Seguro
That’s right, it’s ultra-compact laptop and some vendors are trying to get this market. The good news is more people will become computer aware since the price is relatively cheap compare to real laptop.
Thanks.

Thanks for comment. This ultra-compact laptop may suits to you that require travel alot. Its size is between a laptop and a PDA.
Just prepare additional storage device since it only has 2 GB hard drive. :D

Yes, good configuration for student needs but I think if you’re computer geek, it is not suitable for you. :D About the price, I’ve written on the next post.
Thanks.
