The little Asus EEE 701 PC has attracted quite a lot of attention from my colleagues here at the Toybox testing lab, smack in the middle of Fairfax Business Media HQ.
On passing by my desk, many people have exclaimed how cute and cool the super light-weight computer looks, but then asked if it is difficult to type on the tiny, tiny keyboard. And that pretty much sums up the Eee 701. It looks very smart in its shiny, ivory coating with silver details, and it has some really cool features, but as a working machine it has its limitations.
I really like this little Linux-based machine, and I would find it very useful in my everyday life for checking email, updating Computerworld’s website and subediting stories from home, and writing quick stories from out in the field. But, sure, the keyboard is not designed for longer stints of typing.
