"Asus Eeeasy-To-Use Notebook"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:08/01/2008

Forget about notebooks or desktops that have unnecessary programs that confuse users rather than help them. The Asus Eee PC is a notebook that will make learning, working, and playing a lot easier with its simple and user-friendly programs.

The Eee PC is primarily targeted to children aged 6 and above, but Asus says that its notebook also caters to second PC users, travellers, and even senior citizens with its lightweight profile and easy interface. There are two colours available for the Eee PC as of this moment (pearl white and black), but there may be a possibility that other colours (pink, blue, and green) will be available for sale as the Eee PC box show six different models.

Users can find an Ethernet port, an optional RJ-11 (Modem) port, a USB port, a Microphone jack, and a Headphone jack on the left side of the PC, while a memory card slot, two USB ports, a D-Sub output, and a Kensington Lock port can be found on its right side.

The 7-inch screen, 0.3 mega pixel web camera, keyboard, and trackpad can be found upon opening the display panel. The keys are quite small, making it difficult for people with large hands and fingers to type on the notebook. The trackpad is responsive and did not give us any problems despite its small scroll space, although it is still better if one hooks up their own mouse via USB.
