...ASUS Eee PC, a small, slim,
and light portable computer that
is priced at $360. The Eee PC is
running a version of Intel’s 910
mobile chipset, it uses a 900MHz
Intel Dothan based Pentium M
CPU, it has 512MB of DDR2
memory, full 802.11g wireless
capability, and a flash-based hard
drive. There will be at least two
different models of the Eee PC,
with the $360 version using a 4GB
flash hard drive and the $450
version using a 8GB drive...The
Eee PC weighs in at only .89
kilograms, which translates to just
around 2 pounds. The keyboard
on the Eee PC is slightly
crammed and smaller than most
notebook keyboards due to the
Eee PC’s smaller form factor. It
very closely resembles the size of
the keyboard used in the Dell
Inspiron 710...built-in webcam

On the left side, the notebook
has two USB 2.0 ports, an
audio and microphone port, a
10/100 Ethernet port, and a
56K phone modem port...The
right side panel of the Eee PC
701 has two more USB 2.0
ports, a VGA output, and even
a flash card reader. The
notebook uses a 4 cell battery
that gives it just around 3
hours of battery life when it is
on the move. As you may
have noticed, there are no
optical drives included with
the Eee PC, and there is no
room to add any to the
notebook itself, so any DVD
burners will have to be
installed externally through
one of the Eee PC 701’s four
USB 2.0 ports
