Asus Eee PC 701 unboxed

November 19th, 2007

Everyone seems to be talking about the Asus Eee PC at the moment, everyone wants one but most places seem to be out of stock!

We've just managed to get our hands on an Eee PC to review and have so far been impressed with it. I was expecting something that resembled a childs first computer but that could not be futher from the truth. The Eee PC is a well built and well specified piece of kit and offers a truly portable computing experience for a fraction of the cost of a laptop PC.

Nick is working on the review for us at the moment and we'll have that here online as soon as we can. Here is our unboxing video to give you something to do while you wait!

Asus have proved with this product that it is possible to change perceived wisdom of what devices should be - shown by the fact it seems to be always sold out. Excellent piece of design

EEEPCs are still hard to find - found your blog via google and thought I'd just post the URL to a site I've created that periodically checks the stock levels of EEEPCs at various retailers in the UK - it should be just above this comment.

Arghh!, I can't seem to get rid of the bloody google ads, they completely obscure your video which I really wanted to see.
How do I get rid of them?
