Good deal for the Asus EEEPC-701

I recently bought the Asus EEEPC-701SDX on catch of the day but this even a better price.

      Eee PC Comparison List doesn't list an "EEEPC-701-AU-BK01" but may be useful to compare the above specs to the Eee PC 701SDX.

      The SDX has no webcam and soldered RAM - so you can’t increase the 512MB installed
      The others (and check this first!) have removable ram and a webcam.
      You can put in upto 2gb ram if you reinstall xp/linux, however the os that you buy it with will limit the ram to 1gb.

    Are these Eepc's expected to go down in price considerable in the near future (more than $30)?

    • voter1 on 03/08/2009 - 00:38

      I dont think so - $200 ish is pretty cheap already for the hardware you're getting.

      Im thinking about one too - my concern is actually if they'll be discontinued as asus is the only company that sells $200 or 7" eepc's.

    I installed XP (TinyXP) it's 190mb and as you install it via SD CARD, it took around 4 hours. FYI.

    • SomeGuyOnOzB on 03/08/2009 - 14:06

      can you dual boot the TinyXP with Linux? :)

      • Davo1111 on 03/08/2009 - 16:12

        yes, but i have had trouble doing it, mainly because the 4GB ssd isn't really enough, and when you include the SDHC into that, it makes everything alot harder.

        • mick123 on 03/08/2009 - 16:19

          just a question,
          can the computer handle say a 32GB Flash Card or USB drive?

          I am thinking of buying something like this and doing the following (not myself cos I know nothing about computers, but my friend):

          Install TinyXP
          As mentioned above, increase to 2GB Ram
          Use a 16,32,64GB etc Flash card/USB Drive for programs/data etc.

            @mick123: they can take a usb easy, as for the size of the flash card i would "assume" they would take a 32GB, but i have only tested upto 8GB. Once you've installed tiny xp, get the micro drivers for treating the SDHC card as a second harddrive (treats it as a permanent D drive). If you can't find it on google, just ask me here and i'll find you the link to the drivers.
            Hope this helps.

    This seems to be the same model that MSY have listed for $288.

    Horses for courses. A nice way to learn a little bit about Linux. I have eeebuntu installed on mine - better than the Xandros that comes pre-installed.
