Take a piece of A4 size paper and fold it in half. This is the approximate size of the ASUS Eee Laptop. You are holding a computer that is 7 x 6.5 x 1.4 inches. This laptop is smaller than an average textbook, and a little larger than a Nintendo DS. It’s a notebook computer that is pretty light, about 2 lbs, and feature packed. This small notebook is excellent for students, and for business travelers who don’t want to carry the weight of conventional laptops.

The ASUS Eee Laptop is developed by a partnership of Intel and AsusTek, a technology leader with one of the best R&D teams, committed to innovative digital technology. In 2007, one in three PCs were powered with the ASUS motherboards. The engineers specialized in electromagnetic interference, acoustics and simple details that give customer satisfactions. The ASUS notebooks are the first TCO’99-certified notebooks globally.

The laptops are endorsed by the One Laptop Per Child organization. The goal of the non-profit organization is “to provide the children of developing nations to learn by providing one connected laptop to every school-age child.” The size and capacity of these laptops are perfect for educational software, allowing each child access to tools used to be connected with everyone.

The ASUS Eee 700 Subnotebook series is the first subnotebook developed by ASUS. It was exhibited in Taiwan October 16, 2007. Intel, ASUS partner, described the Eee PC as part of Intel’s “World Ahead” marketing, aimed to provide everyone the chance to own a PC. The price and size of the 700 are small compared to competitive devices, such as CloudBook or Fujitsu Lifebook. Since October 13, 2007 ASUS has changed the specifications, and re-named the ASUS 700 product series as EeePC 8G, 4G, 4G Surf, and 2G Surf instead of the model numbers 700 and 701.

The price of the 700 series is pretty cheap. Pricing for 2G is USD$299, for the 4G Surf USD$349, for the 4G USD$399, for the 8G USD$499.
