Get the power of a full-sized laptop in the ultra-compact ASUS Eee PC 8G Surf, which offers a full QWERTY keyboard, 7-inch screen, and preinstalled Linux operating system. (This laptop is also compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.) You’ll be able to stay connected to e-mail and the Internet easily thanks to the Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g), and communicate via video chat and VoIP with the Webcam integrated into the display’s bezel. Because it uses flash memory instead of a hard drive (with 8 GB of storage), the Eee PC is optimal for weathering rough handling and sharing space in overstuffed bags.

In the 8 GB model, the SSD is a card connected via the internal PCI Express Mini Card connector.

The 4 GB and 8 GB Eee PC models use 533/667 MHz DDR2 RAM via a standard SO-DIMM module, which can be swapped out. The hardware supports up to 2GB but the preinstalled Xandros kernel (out of the box) itself only supports 1GB. Users can expand the storage space using the SD/MMC card reader or by installing a larger SSD in models with an available mini card slot. The memory card is removed by pushing in the card until it clicks and ejects.

Play, relax, and entertain on the go with shock-proof design. At 7″ and weighing only 2 pounds, you can take the Eee PC anywhere. Bumps and shocks are no longer issues. With a dependable solid-state disk, you get unparalleled shock-protection and reliability. Power-efficient design provides longer operating time when on the go. With a rapid start-up time, the Eee PC is always ready to get into action. No technical manual required with the specially designed, user-friendly and intuitive graphic interface. You’re always connected with built-in WiFi 802.11 b/g that automatically detects and connects to the Internet at any hotspot. The Eee PC includes the documents and the e-mails software, and a suite of other productivity software to help keep you on track. Upload photos and videos and share them instantly on Flickr or YouTube without waiting till you get home.
