Manufacturer's Info
The Asus Eee PC offers the power of a full-sized laptop in an ultra-mobile PC. "Eee PC" stands for "Easy to Learn, Easy to Work, and Easy to Play," and Asus isn't kidding. Wrapped in an ultra-compact body, the Asus Eee PC features a full QWERTY keyboard and a 7-inch screen, and comes with a pre-installed Linux operating system (it's also Windows-compatible). The Asus Eee PC is primarily designed as an internet communicator...but it's so much more. Asus has packed the Eee PC full of features that benefit the on-the-go professional. It starts with over 40 built-in productivity applications, including the Open Office suite that allows you to create spreadsheets, documents, and presentations. The Asus Eee PC also connects to the internet at any wireless hotspot via 802.11b/g WiFi, and it also has an Ethernet port and a 56K modem. At the core of this ultra-mobile PC laptop is a 900 MHz Intel processor with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of solid state flash memory. Its small size makes it ultra-portable. The Asus Eee PC is great for kids - in fact, it was originally designed with students in mind. In addition to the productivity software mentioned above, the Eee PC features a built-in dictionary to help with homework. Older kids will appreciate the way it handles music, videos, and photos, and since it uses flash memory instead of a hard drive, it's rugged enough to be jostled around in almost any bookbag. If your child has never used a computer before, don't worry - the Asus Eee PC offers two different interfaces for both experienced and inexperienced PC users. This is where this Asus laptop really shines. The Eee PC's small size, rugged build, and internet capabilities make it great for people on the move. The Eee PC includes all the software you need to communicate away from home, and its long battery life will keep you going as long as you need. It has a built-in SD card slot, as well as three USB 2.0 ports, letting you upload videos and pictures to the web instantly without waiting to get home. Unlike other ultra-mobile PC's, the Asus EEE PC 4G also features an integrated Webcam, letting you easily stay in touch via video chat or VOIP. Overall, the Asus Eee PC 4G is a great ultra-mobile PC. It's half the size of other laptops, but comes with twice as many features. And its price makes it the perfect entry-level laptop or secondary notebook computer.
