Asus Eee PC 4G Surf Revealed
Sunday, August 2, 2009
Just a few months ago Asus rocked the ultraportable market with the release of the EEE PC 701. At the beyond-reasonable price of $399, the 701 came armed with a versatile Linux operating system and tons of handy applications.
Now Asus has released a new version of the tiny wonder. The EEE PC Surf 4G ditches the glitchy webcam of its predecessor and simultaneously sheds a few bucks as well. For $349, the coffee house-bound user gets a two-pound portable with a seven-inch display and 4GB solid state drive. We loved the 701, so we're pleased to say the 4G doesn't land too far from the tree.
Asus' Eee PC and early adopter, yesterday
Asus formally launched the Eee PC earlier this month. Then, it announced four models, including an 8GB version, which doesn't seem to heading Stateside. In the UK, we're likely to get only the 4G model, though the 2G version will be made available to schools by educational computing specialist RM - formerly Research Machines.
