Unboxing the Asus 701 (Eee) |
W-Eee :) I’m now officially one of the
coolest kids on the block! I’m typing
this post on my Asus 701 (Eee)…
I’ve quietly been keeping an eye on the
Eee since it was announced a few months
ago. After all, who’s not interested in
a $399 ultra-portable sub-notebook?
Not to mention, it’s a particularly
interesting device if, like me, you’re a
blogger on-the-go, especially with the
built-in webcam.
After using it for less than 24 hours
I’m pretty impressed, and so are others,
apparently. The keyboard is surprisingly
good. The screen is nice (albeit a bit
small).
The trackpad is not that great -
perhaps it’s just my Eee but it’s
behaving erratically at the lowest and
highest settings. I’m not too concerned,
since I’m planning to mod my Eee
extensively in the coming weeks/months -
I’ll take a look at the trackpad then.
First on the agenda is to remove the
warranty seal and upgrade the memory
from 512 MB to 1GB! Then, I’m planning
to add internal USB Bluetooth &
HSDPA, and look at increasing built-in
storage…
There’s an unused mini PCIe slot
intended for an SSD that’s just begging
to be used :)
So keep coming back, and enjoy my
unboxing pictures for now, including a
size comparison with the Apple iPhone
and the OQO Model 02.

PS: I snapped these pictures with my
Sony Ericsson K850i under 3 flood lights
in my basement, but the results were
poorer than expected.
Read why below.
