Good Bye, Palm and Foleo! The $200 Asus Eee Laptop

Posted on June 6, 2007 by admin

“Besides being able to run Linux or Windows like a normal laptop, it can switch to an ‘Easy Mode’ and run a stripped down, custom OS. This way you get a far better battery life but end up with a browsing device instead.

Here are some hard specs:

1. 7” widescreen display
2. only 0.89kg in weight
3. multiple communication choices: WiFi 802.11b/g, 100 Mbps Ethernet, 56K Modem
4. 4,8 or 16 GB of storage – SSD only
5. 512 MB of DDR2-RAM, and Intel processor and graphics chip
6. integrated webcam and speakers
7. High Definition audio output
8. Small: 22.5 x 16.5 x 2.1~3.5cm
9. 3hrs of endurance with Linux/Windows, more in the basic mode

Pretty decent specs, right?
Well, add to the fact its going to come at a low price, too, with prices starting from $200….. <More>
