#ASUS EEE PC 701 RUN WINDOWS XP KEYGEN#
We spent some time analysing the Eee PC 900 Win's battery life, but discovered some unusual anomalies during that process. MacBook Air and iPod touch users have enjoyed this feature for some time, but it's the first we've ever seen it implemented on a Windows laptop. A pinching motion lets you zoom in on images, stretching lets you zoom out, and a two-finger vertical stroking motion allows you to scroll up and down through documents. We're not exactly sure why, but positioning the cursor over tiny icons is less of a chore than the ever-so-slightly juddery cursor in the Linux edition.īetter still, the mouse trackpad supports multi-touch gesture inputs - even in Windows XP. It's also far more responsive in the Windows edition that it is on Linux. It's larger, for a start, and has a wider aspect ratio to match that of the widescreen display. The mouse trackpad on the new Eee PC 900 is much improved over its predecessor. It has to be said that the higher resolution is more suited Windows XP's icon-heavy aesthetic. Images, video and Web sites look far better on this system than they ever could on its predecessor, and it truly is better than ever for watching movies. It doesn't sound like much but it's a massive improvement over the 7-inch, 800圆40-pixel panel on the old Eee PC 701. Both the Linux and Windows versions sport an 8.9-inch panel that runs at 1,024圆00 pixels. The most appealing thing about the Eee PC 900 is its new display. Plus, the integrated webcam has been upgraded to a 1.3-megapixel model instead of the 0.3-megapixel part on the previous Eee. It has plenty of connectivity, including three USB ports, a D-Sub port for outputting video to an external display, mic and headphone audio jacks and an SD card reader that also supports MMC media. The Eee doesn't let its small size hold it back, though.
It's slightly larger and heavier than the previous Eee PC 701, but you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two unless you see them side by side. It uses the same 226x38x170mm, 1kg chassis, which is exceptionally convenient for throwing into a purse or manbag and taking on your travels. The Windows XP version of the 900 is physically identical to its Linux brother. But is it all sunshine and Care Bears, or are there any drawbacks to this configuration? Asus is acutely aware of this and - not wanting to alienate a huge chunk of the market - has released a version of the Eee PC 900 that uses Windows XP. There are many among us that believe it's too niche - mainly because its Linux-based operating system is so unfamiliar.
