ASUS's Eee PC 4G Surf comes with a lower price tag, reduced features
Many retailers have been hovering in and out of stock of ASUS' highly
popular Eee PC 4G Linux-powered notebook. The two-pound Eee PC 4G has
garnered rave reviews from around the web and has sprouted a fan site
which details every conceivable aspect of the device.
The first shipments of Eee PCs to hit the retail market were of the
Eee PC 4G which features a 900MHz Celeron Processor (which happens to
run at 630MHz on a 70MHz bus), 512MB of DDR2 memory (upgradeable) , a
7" display, integrated webcam and a 4-cell 5200 mAh battery (3.5
hours). The notebook was first available in Pearl White; however,
Galaxy Black was later introduced.
Now it appears that the second wave of Eee PCs is starting to appear
online. Newegg and ZipZoomFly are both stocking the new Eee PC 4G
Surf model (Galaxy Black only). The 4G Surf has 512MB of DDR2 memory
soldered onto the motherboard -- it is not upgradeable like regular
4G. In addition, the 4G Surf lacks the webcam and features a 4-cell
4400 mAh battery (2.8 hours).
The reduced feature set also means that the 4G Surf comes with a
lower price tag: $349.99 versus $399.99 for the 4G.
The lower price is welcome news to those that need the extra frills
afforded by the webcam and the ability to upgrade the memory, but
many may not be willing to cope with reduced battery life as well.
