These lines are formed just on supplied today EEE nine hundred and first The device is already processed as its predecessors absolutely valuable and makes alone purely optical a very good impression. After the first switch starts the familiar XP configuration dialog and a few steps away is the EEE ready. Actually, I'm not a fan of pre-installations, but the EEE is not my primary instrument, so that here the pre-installed XP absolutely sufficient in the Home version. In addition, the developers seem to have already made a little thought at ASUS, how to use the small space optimally. Thus, for example, in the pre-installation already the virtual swap file completely disabled. Of course you should even do just a few handles, as, for example, disable the automatic system recovery. This saves the same again good 200 MB. Because here is to see the reason for the withdrawal of the star: The memory is quite low. With just 4 GB system partition is not huge. After the pre-installation and an independent import of all current Microsoft updates are just still 1.2 GB free. Who knows Windows knows that it clings to, sooner or later like free space and with "useless" files full writes. Therefore, when EEE is even truer than in other PCs: Now and then clean up the system disk. After all the pre-installed programs, such as Microsoft Works, Skype, StarOffice ... installed on the 8 GB D partition where at delivery for about 7.5 GB are free. The built-in webcam is recognized by Skype immediately, and also the built-in microphone is to use well, even though it obviously can not keep up with a good headset. The keyboard has a pleasant pressure point, however, is very small. For people with thicker fingers as I I'm a quite hard to hit it in the beginning only the desired key. But as long as you do not stand the EEE on the lap, but on a table in front of him, you can even longer texts (like this one) without writing any major problems. However, tap touch typing is not possible. The Touchpas can operate well and thanks to the multi-touch function can be a few steps in a pleasant way easier. So you scroll, for example by texts or websites where you two fingers moving simultaneously on the Touchbad. All in all a very good piece of hardware at a fair price if you buy it for the suggested retail price of 379 and not from traders beat again 100 euros and more it.
