The Pros:Attractive angular design with simple silver finish that doesn't attract fingerprints. Small enough to fit into a large purse. Very light, doesn't significantly add to the weight of the gear in your bag.

The ASUS Eee PC 701SD is a netbook; simply put, a netbook is essentially a stripped down laptop designed for extreme portability. A netbook fits most users looking to perform simple tasks on the go, as netbooks generally do not have the same performance options as regular laptops, or desktop computers. The 701SD also includes a 0.3 mega-pixel webcam, high definition audio combined with speakers and a microphone input, full 802.11 b/g support, and Windows XP Home, or GNU Linux operating system options.
*The three hybrid storage options above replace traditional hard drive support of most laptops, this helps provide most of the mobility a netbook provides. This particular 701SD netbook includes an 8GB solid state drive (a smaller flash based hard drive), an optional external 30GB HDD for extra storage space, and 10GB Eee Storage (an online storage space provided by ASUS, 18 months of service is included with the purchase of a netbook).
