Page 3 of 3 With storage you have two option and these depend on the operating
system provided. As Asus wanted to keep the price similar for both
Windows XP and Linux versions, the XP iteration comes with a 12GB solid
state disk, while the Linux one comes with a 20GB SSD. Again, with a
few USB ports it is easy enough to attach an external hard drive if
desired (or even a NAS on your home network).The wireless connectivity works out of the box, but seems to suffer a little when the machine is disconnected from its electiricity supply. Left to fend for itself on battery power, it suddenly seems to get a bit flakey with the Wi-Fi connection despite being in the same room as the access point (which is a router supplied by BT Total Broadband). Overall, the performance of the device is good enough for what we think is its strong points, emailing and casual web browsing. It is no surprise that Asus is working on replacements to this model and with a bigger keyboard and a better processor it will be hard to beat in the future. Rating: 8/10
