Asus Eee Pink Netbook ReviewWe take a look at and review the stylish Asus Eee Pink Netbook computer.Asus Eee Pink Laptop Review
Functionality wise the Asus pink Eee gets the job done for light duty tasks such as checking email or browsing the web. We
definitely do not
recommend it for a primary computing machine, though as a secondary
laptop we
highly recommend you take a look during your shopping endeavors. For
the most part the Asus
Eee pink looks like a pretty straightforward Netbook computer, of
course
in a
girly pink color that is. We
found the
exterior shade of pink chosen by Asus to be very easy on the eyes. You can be sure a passerby
will take a second
glance at your little pinkie. The
pink Asus Eee we
reviewed is the smaller 7-inch model.
Do
note that Asus does manufacture newer Eee PC’s with larger displays
including
8.9, and 10-inches. Weight
wise our 7-inch
configuration weighed in around 2 pounds and it measured 8.8 inches
wide by
about 6.5 inches deep. As
you can see
they are a very small little laptop.
The 7-inch screen looks pretty small considering it is just that, small! Screen resolution is only 800x480 which is much lower than today’s minimum standard of about 1024x768. Of
course it gets the job done for the 7-inch
Eee PC’s intended market. If this is an
issue with you we recommend you take a look at the larger Eee PC models
offered
by Asus. Above the screen resides a
webcam. When
you look at other
external features, the first thing we noticed was a smaller than ever
keyboard. Of course
you can pretty much
expect this from a laptop of such a compact nature. For
kids the compact
keyboard will be fine, but as you see a day to day machine this isn’t
going to
work out for most and this is why we can’t recommend it as a primary
machine as
mentioned earlier. Letter
keys are for the
most part less affected size wise than other keys including the tab,
backspace,
and control keys. We
found it very hard
to strike the backspace and tab key during routine typing and it did
take some
time getting used to. Overall
though
once we passed the learning curve the keyboard became a little
friendlier. The
Asus Eee pink also
includes as expected an input device for mouse functionality. Of course the touchpad is
very small but
overall we have to admit it gets the job done for basic usage as
intended for
the Asus Eee pc 7-inch line of Netbooks. Internal
storage options
for the 7-inch Eee PCs include a small but newer durable Solid-State
type hard
drive. You can pick
up a 7-inch Asus Eee
pink in 8GB, 4GB, or 2GB. Intel Based Asus Eee Pink LaptopsProcessing power wise the Intel processors in the 7-inch Asus Eee PC get the job done for basic needs. You
may want to take a
look at the newer Asus Eee PC’s with Intel’s newer Atom processor if
you’re
looking for a compact notebook with battery life to spare. They are rated from about
4.2 to up to 8
hours depending on usage and model type. While
we’ve only touched
base on the Asus Eee Pink, we have to conclude that it is a solid
little
machine for kids or as a secondary laptop to take with you to the beach
or
other outdoor activity. So
if you are in
deed looking for a cute little pinkie laptop you can’t go wrong with
the Asus
Eee pink for it fits that bill perfectly. On
the other hand if you
are more than a very basic user we really have to recommend something
else,
possibly the newer and larger screened Intel Atom based Asus Eee PC’s
for they
fair much better in the specification department by offering you faster
speeds,
increased battery life, more storage capacity, and larger screens among
other
features. Happy purchasing! See also:
