EEE Asus - A Powerful Laptop That Is A Great Alternative To The MacBook Air

Executive Summary about Eee Laptop by Rae Edwards

There’s no question that the Macbook Air is the gold standard of tiny lap top computers. Apple has stuffed tons of features and power into a machine so slim it can fit into a large envelope. But, this tiny machine has a very high price tag, averaging about $1700. Many consumers love the technology but can not afford this high price. If you’re attracted to the Mac for its size, but would like a cheaper alternative, take a look at the Asus EEE laptop computer.

Size And Weight: If your quest for a very small computer is what attracted you the Air, you should know that the Asus is an even smaller machine at only 1.383 x 8.823 x 6.5.” It weighs a mere 2 pounds, (a pound lighter than the Mac). The Asus has a 7″ LCD display, 512 MB of Ram, a 2-4 GB hard drive and runs on a custom Linux Distro operating system. Price: Pricing is the hugest difference between the two models. The cheaper version is great for students. However, if you truly need the additional memory or you prefer the Leopard operating system, you will probably prefer the Apple.
