This means that it is extremely convenient to pull out the device say on a train or plane, and start working with a minimum of fuss. Most impressive is the ability to boot from a cold start into the OS in around 27 seconds, and shut down completely in 7 seconds. With no spinning hard disk to contend with, data can be accessed quickly and it shows – applications load and function snappily. The specs may seem a little light on, but this device has been designed with portability and battery life in mind. There are a few variants, mainly with differing RAM, internal drive capacities and the absence of a webcam. The standard model is equipped with 512 Megabytes of RAM, an Intel Celeron 900 MHz processor, 4Gb of solid state disk and a 0.3 megapixel webcam. Cosmetically, it comes in a few colours including white, black, pink, green and light blue, but overall build quality is excellent and it feels very solid. In more definite terms, it measures 22.5 x 16.4 x 3.5 cm (or 8.86 x 6.46 x 1.4 inches) and weighs 0.99 kg / 2.0 lbs. In fact, it is the same length and width as “ The Digital Photography Book ” by Scott Kelby and slightly thicker. The ASUS Eee can only be described as a tiny laptop that is about the size and weight of a large paperback book. I will go into the reasons within the relevant sections in the review.

Enter the ASUS Eee PC – a sub-1kg / 2 lb ultra-portable from the Taiwanese manufacturer that boasts a 7” screen, compact form factor and reasonable battery life. Carrying a laptop may not always be practical – especially when one is already burdened with a ton of gear. It is probably every photographer’s dream to have a portable computer with them when out on a shoot.
