Asus Eee PC 1001PX - Your Mobile Companion

A lot has already been said about the netbooks that have entered our lives. But really, does it make sense to buy it? After all, you can buy a simple laptop and not think about performance, the speed of work, or the software you select. Don't look enviously at the latest software. Thus, saving yourself from unnecessary thoughts and flutters. But is it worth it?

Agree, one way or another, few of us make full use of all the capabilities of a computer. Most users generally use their computer superficially. After all, the main range of tasks performed is very often limited to viewing e-mail, web surfing, communicating on social networks, listening to audio tracks and watching video files. This is exactly what a netbook can do.

The netbook can be characterized as a selection of the most basic of the total, or rather the absolute number of tasks. After all, everything that was listed above, he can easily perform. Moreover, it was created specifically to work in such an environment and with tasks of this complexity. A netbook can also be called a target device designed for a specific range of potential buyers. In addition, its strengths are mobility, light weight and long battery life. It is these qualities that are highly valued in a netbook.

It cannot be said that everything needs to be switched to a netbook. A netbook is, first of all, a laptop with a democratic price and all the consequences of a low price on the face. This is both a relatively low performance and a small screen inch. for those who are engaged in more time-consuming and resource-intensive tasks such as 3D design, for example, or working with Photoshop. Of course, all programs of this kind can be installed on a netbook, but how it will cope with them is a topic for another discussion.

This review is entirely dedicated to the netbook Asus Eee PC 1001PX... Many have heard, and many are the happy owners of a series of netbooks Asus Eee PC... This line has long been entrenched in the personal mobile technology market and has become an exemplary for many. In due time, the appearance Eee PC the market was a breakthrough. Many could not understand what this product is and why it has such a small size. But still netbooks Asus were able to win their audience and gain fans around the world.

Distinctive design Asus Eee immediately recognizable and immediately clear what kind of device you are carrying in your hands. Small size and long battery life is what will allow you to enjoy working with your computer on the train or plane. You won't think about battery power. Asus Eee PC 1001PX designed for very long work. Company developers Asus made every effort to fit all the attributes of a full-fledged laptop into this small gadget. Why then is he a netbook?

Asus Eee PC 1001PX based on processor Intel Atom N450... This is a specially designed series of netbook processors. the difference between a laptop and a netbook is still in performance, and most importantly, in the composition of the processor core. Due to the peculiarities of the core, we get a balanced processor that consumes little battery power and at the same time has good performance efficiency.

It should be noted, however, that the netbook Asus Eee PC 1001PX has an affordable price and therefore it can be called a device for the masses. Asus Eee PC 1001PX has a feature inherent in almost all netbooks - this is a low price and if you realized that you need a laptop only for solving the ordinary daily range of tasks, then you can save money and purchase Asus Eee PC 1001PX killing two birds with one stone.

Netbook design Asus Eee PC 1001PX has a characteristic look for the entire line Asus Eee... Mainly, the design differs from other manufacturers in the shape of the case, they have their own characteristics. But I would like to note that often netbook manufacturers try to give their device stylish clothes, because the very purpose of a netbook is to be an everyday and public device.

The body of the device is made of plastic, good and durable. Still, one cannot say that the plastic is of the highest quality, it is prone to a slight play of the case, very little, but it is still present. The body itself is in the shape of a rectangle with rounded edges and corners. This is observed around the entire perimeter of the case, both inside the netbook and outside. With the color gamut, the manufacturers also delighted the consumer, as with the previous models.

The back cover of the case is made in a general matte style. It should be noted right away that the netbook Asus Eee PC 1001PX everything is made in the main body color without any deviations. In the middle on the lid there is a corporate logo of the company Asus, the logo is applied with a very durable paint, which will be very difficult to damage, let alone wash off. The edges of the back cover of the case are neatly lowered down quite a bit.

The interior panels of the netbook continue the main color trend of the case and have a matte rough surface. The panels surrounding the matrix of the screen are quite wide and create a feeling of massiveness. On the contrary, on the bottom panel, the width is as small as possible. Inside the netbook, as well as outside, all the edges are rounded or have a sloping structure.

The keyboard consists of rectangular tablets, similar in color, close to each other. The keys have a rough surface and are very pleasant to the touch. The touchpad is located just below the keyboard in the immediate vicinity. The button below the touchpad functions as two buttons, depending on which side you press. The button is glossy and shiny.

Another design feature is the lower part of the case, which is made with a noticeable taper. It turns out that the entire view of the bottom of the laptop tapers from the thicker part and turns out that the keyboard is tilted at an angle towards the user.

Screen matrix netbook Asus Eee PC 1001PX has a size 10.1 inch... Display type WSVGA... Screen resolution 1024 by 600 pixels... The screen has good brightness and clarity. The text and image will be legible. The display has an aspect ratio HDtherefore, such a display is suitable for watching movies even at this relatively small size.

The protective glass of the matrix is ​​made in a matte finish. This saves the user from light glare and quick dirtiness. The big disadvantage of the glossy screen is the ability to quickly smear it with fingerprints or oil stains. The LED backlighting is quite good, but you won't be able to see much in daylight. And the viewing angles are also not at the highest level. An overview of the screen brightness can be seen below.

It is also worth saying a few words about the screen resolution. be that as it may, but 1024 by 600 pixels this is not enough for some standard applications and users may occasionally encounter a problem with their display.Sometimes windows will fall out of the screen and it is problematic to reach this or that button or function. When working with a netbook and choosing software, you will always need to consider this nuance.

The heart of the netbook Asus Eee PC 1001PX is the processor Intel Atom N450... This is a typical netbook processor built to be cool and energy efficient. The processor clock speed is 1.66 GHz, the number of cores is one. This is not to say that the processor is very weak, but nevertheless, in relation to the modern computer world, it works at the limit of its capabilities. Processor bus frequency 667 MHz, cache memory of the second level - 512 KBand the width is 32 bit... The processor belongs to the family x86... Netbooks are probably the only case where the bottleneck is in system performance.

On board the netbook carries 1 GB ram type SODIMM DDR2 667 MHz... The memory is implemented on one bar. If desired, it will be possible to increase the memory up to 2 GB Is the maximum possible number. The system board has only one slot for RAM. 2 GB will be the most efficient amount because, due to the processor, more memory will not be used.

The adapter is graphically implemented using Intel GMA 3150... This graphics adapter is integrated on the motherboard. To optimize the process of organizing the processing of graphic information, the computing part is located in the processor Intel Atom... This speeds up the response of the system, but still loads the already not the most powerful central processor.

A hard drive with a volume of 160 GB... Hard drive interface SATA and its rotation speed 5400 rpm... This is a small hard drive, but the netbook itself is designed to solve simple tasks that are not associated with laboriousness and large volumes.

Netbook Asus Eee PC 1001PX equipped with two standard manipulators: keyboard and mouse. This is a standard delivery and no additional input and control devices are included as standard.

The keyboard is made in one color with the body and consists of flat plates located close to each other. It is convenient to press the keys. They are sensitive and non-sticky. Sometimes the truth is repeated pressing, and the keyboard itself bends a little from pressing. The tilted design makes the keyboard more ergonomic and easier to use than the parallel surface models.

The touchpad is located adjacent to the keyboard. The rectangular field is very sensitive, so no force is required when using the touchpad. But there is a hidden stone here. Due to the proximity to the keyboard and high sensitivity, unauthorized presses will slip when working with the keyboard, especially when typing. The touchpad supports technology MultiTouch and therefore, in addition to simple cursor control, it will be possible to scroll through pages and zoom with your fingers. Under the touchpad there are two buttons, visually made in the form of one. You will need to press it around the edges, depending on the desired action.

Netbook Asus Eee PC 1001PX equipped with two network interfaces: Wi-Fi and LAN. Wi-Fi supports two data transfer protocols 802.11 b / g... The network wired interface supports the speed 10/100 Mb / s... The Bluetooth wireless networking module is available as an option, depending on the selected laptop model. This set of modules is more complete for the implementation of network connections between computers, wireless devices and the Internet.

- 3 x USB 2.0

- 1 x D-Sub

- 1 x RJ45 (LAN)

- 1 x headphone output

- 1 x microphone input

Of the additional features of the netbook Asus Eee PC 1001PX can be noted the presence 0.3 mega pixel web camera and built-in microphone. They are traditionally located above the screen matrix and can be used to make video calls over the Internet. There is no drive in the netbook. An external drive can be purchased separately if desired.

Netbook Asus Eee PC 1001PX has a cold temperament and its heating is relatively low. Temperature readings will fluctuate within 40 - 55 degrees Celsius depending on the load level of the central processor. It is he who is the hottest part of the netbook. One fan is responsible for forced cooling, which automatically turns on only when necessary.

Netbook series Asus Eee PC 1001PX Supplied with 3 and 6 cell rechargeable lithium ion batteries. According to the statements of the representatives of the manufacturer's company, they should be enough for 5 and 10 o'clock accordingly with economical operation. If you use the netbook at full capacity, the battery life is cut in half.

Depending on the model selected, the netbook Asus Eee PC 1001PX comes with operating systems MS Windows XP, MS Windows 7 Starter or OS DOS... The recommendation would be to use Windows XP, because Windows 7 still requires a more powerful hardware base for itself. DOS the same provides for freedom of choice for the user. I would like to note that an excellent operating system for a device of this type will be Linux OS.

Complete set of netbook Asus Eee PC 1001PX the most minimal:
