i’m thinking of getting me a laptop soon. but since i am not really a computer geek (in fact i call myself techno-apathetic), i require a different set of specs than what the tech experts consider important. i’m not a gamer, and i don’t require much software other than the very basic. a colossal disk space is not that important. i just want two things: 1. it must be able to connect to the internet real fast with a wifi, and 2. it has to be small and light.

finally, something that fits my needs and most of all, my budget: the asus’ eee PC 701. according to the press release:

Built-in WLAN connectivity allows users to stay connected for dynamic Internet usage on the go. With the Eee PC empowers users to share photos without waiting till one gets home; connect face to face with just a few clicks; enjoy online entertainment live; stay on top of emails for high work efficiency and more!

The 7” Eee PC 701 weighs at a featherlight 0.89 kg, with large flash-based storage capacity and built-in webcam for compact mobility with wireless freedom.

according to the tech blogs which are abuzz with this laptop, the 2GB model will retail for just $200. if that’s true, you bet i’ll grab one! maybe even two, haha. looks like i have to wait til august to get one, though.
