The Eee PC 700 series was released in late 2007 and was the first affordable small form factor consumer laptop. Today many would call this the first netbook. However, palm tops, PDA's, and other small laptops had existed well before the conception of the Eee PC. Today we are going to look at the progression of the netbook and where the Eee PC fits into the evolution of affordable computing.

IIRC the missing RAM Door is specific to the Surf Models as these have soldered on RAM (512MB) whereas the 4G Model had a DIMM Slot (which did work with up to two Gigabytes of Memory). BTW: The mentioned 900MHz Processor was in fact clocked down to 630MHz by default - You could overclock it by rising the FSB Clock I still remember when these were announced. There were only the 4G ones sold here in Germany and there was quite a hype about these and they were sold out in a lot of places pretty quickly. I even drove about 50km to pick mine up from a store which still had some in stock (I got a white one as the black ones were sold out even quicker). For me this was the only way I could afford a small and portable notebook (I was still in school and the other common small ones like the sony vaios were a lot more expensive). It was like a low end subnotebook and I carried this one around pretty much everywhere for a few years. Mine was used for internet stuff (browsing, twitter and IM Clients), some light gaming (it ran Unreal Tournament, 1503 a.d. and Simcity 4 fine) and stuff like picture editing (I even ran early versions of Lightroom on that) and media playback (480p DivX/Xvid, it can't handle H.264). A friend of mine even used his one as a MP3 Player (It did fit in a jacket pocket). I replaced it with one of the later Netbooks primarily because of the tiny amount of built in storage (the 4GB "SSD" which was more like a soldered on CF Card got pretty cramped after a while - especially using windows) and used it as a linux server for a few years afterwards (running Samba Shares and a Minecraft Server) About the comparision with the PDAs of that time - I think this kind of device isn't really comparable. I had an hp iPAQ and an htc prophet at this time as well but I used these for quite different things (looking up quick stuff online, music playback and gps navigation / geocaching). I even used the PocketPC Phone thing as a GPRS modem to get my eeePC online (via one of those tiny bluetooth sticks - It didn't have bluetooth builtin)

I had the Eee PC 900 with the larger screen and Win XP. I was kind of tricked into buying it, when I saw it in the Target ad, it looked like a full size laptop. But when I got to the store, it was way smaller then I expected. I got it anyway, and people were always interested in such a small laptop running windows. I guess they even had some that even came with Vista. I used it for a couple of years to run DJ mixing software, and it worked fine until I spilled a beer on it one night. It would still boot, but some keys were permanently stuck down, so it was useless.

A nice bit of nostalgia. I quickly hopped on board the netbook train when the EEE 701 was announced, because I've always liked small (and cheap) computers. At the time it was good enough, but twelve years later, I can't imagine ever going back. Everything's a little TOO small, especially the monitor which is bracketed by speakers and has a tiny resolution. If the Thinkpad I'm using now is a Cadillac, the EEE 701 is more like that car Steve Urkel drove in Family Matters.

I used to own one of these in the 4G model and it had an accessible RAM door. It took me about a month or two to get used to the tiny keys on the keyboard. By about 6 months, I was typing faster on it than a regular keyboard. I remember using Xandros on it first, then I installed Windows XP which I used for a while. Then I put a modded version of Vista on it. Later on when I had changed machines, I used it as a hobby laptop putting other things on it like Android X86 before getting rid of it. I found the 4GB SSD to be much too constraining for me to keep it for longer. If it had a 16GB SSD or bigger, I probably would have kept it.

Asus did make a good little netbook with the EEE series. I have an Asus EEE 901 that I bought new in 2008. When I first bought it, I had problems with it crashing when it tried to download updates. The computer came with only 4GB of storage and the downloads took almost 10 GB. I upgraded it by purchasing a 64 GB SSD for it, and re-downloaded the original Xandros Linux it came with. The downloads, after upgrading, came through OK. I later upgraded it to Easy Peasy Ubuntu Linux, which worked fine for a few years. I recently converted it to Chromium OS, giving me more usefulness out of it.

I've got a 4G Surf running Xandros/KDE that I am just using as a trail cam viewer for SD cards in the field. Biggest problem with this build now is the lack of repositories, no updates for the limited version of Firefox that can't connect to most websites now because of outdated SSL protocols. I may play around with some other OS running on a USB drive in the near future so I can keep the SD slot available. It would be helpful to know which light Linux OS build can match the Xandros build and also run Chrome and VLC reliably, under the 4GB limit. Doing that much would help keep the 4&8GB Surf versions viable for certain dedicated purposes. Another trick might be to crack one of these open, break out the soldering iron and just see what's possible. For those that already have one, it's still a nifty platform, and even a mild upgrade would go a long way for its usefulness on the cheap.

Few things that really made the device really hard to work with, say getting another distribution in it or to get even close to the performance of better models. Imo was it later 900 or 901 model which had actual hdd, that would've been great for me, but couldn't find any with reasonable price tag here.

Still have a single core Atom HP Pavillion netbook. It has a Verizon modem, which is useless to me in Canada. But it has an island style keyboard and it’s better to type on. I installed a small SSD and it runs Windows 10 slowly but useable. It’s dual booted with Linux Mint and that runs well. The battery is gigantic and still holds a good charge. It easily stayed charged all day and then some when it was new. These are very easy to upgrade. The whole bottom just pops off, no tools needed. The Pavillions are worth picking up for a cheap Linux device if you can find one cheap.

You can install to SD card, but 2g surf had something bogging the lanes, which made card reader slower than other models. I used to run some stripped Linux distros with light gui's. But loading times where total bitch and cpu is also crippled compared to even slightly better netbooks models. I don't think you can even fit server distros to 2gigs anymore. Trust me, I tried many things back them and it was as said very, very hard to to accomplish. Installs to SD card though itself is very simple.

But I hated the white pearlescent paint job. So I got a black one. The celeron in the 700 series was so much more responsive than the early Atom CPUs in the 900 series. I have one now that I think was specific to target or some other retailer, because I remember seeing one in stores that outwardly looked like the 701, but it had a 9" screen because they moved the speakers. And it had the 900Mhz celeron. The one I have also has a mSATA slot. There's like 4GB soldered to the board, but I threw in an 18GB ssd from the 901 I still had kicking around. Definitely nothing to write home about, but it's still 100% solid state. 100% solid state with 10 year old flash and CPU, but 100% solid state none the less. =P I pulled it out of my closet just to poke at it. and yup, still entirely too slow to be useful for much. pretty sure a raspberry pi is more powerful.

OLPC should have sold a commercial version which could have been a big source of revenue right there. If the kid version was $199, sell a commercial version for $299 with mostly the same specs but maybe a different colour scheme. But they didn't. So ASUS produced one and it was very popular. I still have a 701 in the cupboard and although it wasn't as good as it could have been it was still a very handy little computer that fit in a neoprene pouch when most laptops had to be lugged around. Sadly the 701 shipped with a really sucky version of Linux and could have done with more storage, but it was still useful.

Used one for years when i worked with servers...it was perfect for that.it got rj45 port, VGA,sdcard slot and i run it with puppy Linux with network tools.i once compiled gentoo on it and poor asus had very very long time building and compiling gentoo install from stage1 sources😄

they made the apple macbook 2016 the size that it was because that's the minimum size you can get away with having a full size keyboard on a computer. turns out 12 inches is the smallest you can get while still having a respectable keyboard.

I had an Asus windows 7 netbook. I actually liked it because it was lite and easy to transport. It also worked better than the laptop it was replacing. I then got my first tablet as a tablet naysayer. I ended up changing my mind about tablets and gave the netbook to my father. I still have the laptop the netbook was replacing running linux and I use it daily. 😁

I actually prefer EEE keyboards to a normal sized ones. I have small palms and short fingers, thus making most out of this little thing. And, I've owned three generations of EEEs, still have my 900 tucked somewhere as a backup. the only atrocouos thing about those were memory chips. Seriously, throwing anything else into EEE makes it a decent Linux Machine even now.

Asus used pretty slow flash storage to save costs. I remember back in the day a mod to make these things less slow was to install a 2.5" spinning rust drive by desoldering one of the USB ports and running wires from it to a USB to SATA adapter from a external enclosure. USB 2.0 to SATA was faster than the stock OS drive

Damn that’s slow. Now cheap $300 laptops have 128gb M.2 NVME drives, crazy how inexpensive technology has gotten in the last decade. Computers in the 80’s and 90’s were expensive and outdated in just a few years. Now a $500 10 year old laptop from 2010 is still perfectly useable.

I got a Windows XP model for free, but I would like to replace the OS with Linux - I haven't touched it for a long time though, it's really more a collector item for me, but I like to install something useful to all my machines, no matter how outdated :) Windows XP is too bloated for this hardware, does not work slick like the Linux installation :) I would just need to decide which Linux distribution would be light and good enough for me...
