Its 3D Mark 2001 benchmark results are even better than those of two of its subnotebook competitors ( Sony Vaio VGN-TX2XP/B and Nexoc Osiris S607). The Eee-PC is worse than all other notebooks reviewed so far, but, surprisingly, only slightly worse than the Samsung Q30 with Intel Pentium M 753 1.2 GHz ULV processor. This is also proved by the PCMark 05 benchmark. When displaying complex web pages, we noticed a short delay, which was not really annoying. Therefore the performance is rather poor. The Celeron M, specified with 900MHz was due to reducing the FSB clock rate from 100 MHz (FSB 400) to 70 MHz (FSB 280) with 630 MHz lower clocked.

Also due to the small size of the display the viewing angles are relatively good.ĭue to a Celeron-M CPU and integrated video chip (GMA 900) the performance of this reasonable small notebook is rather moderate. To summarize, a trans-reflecting display or a better background lightning would have been better choices. So, you cannot really gain profit from the otherwise good mobility of this very small notebook. This is sufficient for working indoors, but, it is hardly possible to work outside in the sunshine. Under Windows, there is a tool, which sets the resolution to 800圆00 and allows scrolling.įurthermore, the maximum brightness of only 91.6 Candela is rather low. So, you need to hide the task bar and if this is still not sufficient, you need to blind choose the proper option with tab and enter.

Sometimes even system dialogues cannot completely be displayed, whereas this is true under Windows XP and standard Linux desktop). Due to the small resolution of only 800x480 pixels the desktop size is clearly too small. The small 7" TFT display with LED background lightening is surely the weakest point of the Eee PCs. Here you'll need some time to get used to too. So, clicking works only on the outer third of the button. Primary and secondary mouse button are designed as chrome moulding with toggle push button. Despite this, you'll knock against its borders again and again. With standard settings it is just possible to move the mouse pointer from one side to the other. The touch pad reacts sensibly and has an scroll area, but, its size is only 45 x 31 mm², which is very small. Besides the layout problem with the shift key, the keyboard is considering the size of the notebook in general alright. The keyboard itself is attached sufficiently tight, the key feedback is very clear, and the key travel sufficient. This is most annoying if you work with a Linux shell. So, you'll hit the 'cursor up' key again and again instead.

Thereby it is most annoying that the right shift key was somewhat moved to the right. Because of very little space, also the keyboard layout had to be changed. So, only persons with small finger are able to touch type and this only after some time of getting used to the small keys. The size of the keys is only 16 mm x 14 mm (13 mm x 13 mm at the top, the size of the umlauts is even only 11 mm x 13 mm). The first serious weakness of the Asus Eee PC notebook is that its keyboard is, because of its total size, small.
