Asus EEE PC Review - InfoSync World
InfoSync World have published a review of the Asus EEE PC ultraportable. ‘The keyboard and trackpad on the EEE PC are not only tiny, they include some design choices that make them even more difficult to use. On the keyboard, the tiny keys meant that we often missed our mark with annoying results. We pressed the arrow key went we meant to shift. We pressed Delete when we meant to Backspace. The keys themselves felt flimsy and cheap, which they probably are, considering the machine's price tag. But this meant that typing wasn't very comfortable, and often our keystrokes wouldn't register if we didn't type carefully and deliberately.
Unfortunately, the trackpad is even worse. It was too small for even our dainty fingers, which made it difficult to use, but also meant that moving the cursor from one side of the screen to the other took an inordinate number of swipes. The trackpad button tries to be clever, hiding two buttons under a single metallic bar. Press on the left side, and you left-click; press on the right side, and you right-click. But press anywhere near the center, and nothing happens. In fact, some times we had to batter the button even when we were pressing on its poles.’
