After using the eeePC 701 for a while, I gave it up as too limiting
for my purposes. The battery life is crap, the fan whirres
incessantly because the thing produces far too much heat. It also
seems stupid to put up with a 7" screen when the box is more like
10. So all in all, after the initial rush I find I need something a
little more sophisticated to get by on the move whilst having a real
PC at home. The 901 seems a lot more promising but theyre still
flogging the inferior 900s here, so itll have to wait. On the other
hand, a couple of hundred ££ more will get you a real sub notebook..
Hi Per,
I agree that the 701 is too limiting; this is why I favour the Acer
Aspire with 120GB HD. It's £229, so still well within the cheap end of
the spectrum (compared to £300+ for the 901/MSI Wind) and is very
small and efficient.
Do try one. The 1024 x 600 resolution over the Eee 701's 800 x 480 is
a massive advantage.
