The Eee PC 701 has hit the sub 200-Euro mark in Europe now and I suspect many resellers are looking to move on to the next best thing. 800×480 is officially out of fasion. But not useless, and at these prices low prices you can kit the whole family out with one for the new season. Expansys have the 701 surf (4G, Linux, no cam) available for under 160 pounds! Here’s the promo info I got by email earlier today.
New Lower Price on the ASUS Eee PC 701 Surf – only £158.99 inc VAT
eXpansys have reduced the price of the ASUS Eee 701 [aff] to an amazing £158.99 inc VAT. Ideal for students going back to college or university this is one of the smallest and lightest ultra-portables ever made. Not that this mini laptop is just for students, it’s hardwearing and a real work horse making it ideal for business. Available in two colours, you can choose between the stylish white and the sophisticated black.

For something this large and heavy but only 800×480, I won’t buy it for human, but for such low price it is ideal to run services such as VOIP, Skype, NAS, printer/scanner server, DVB, … The ideal home server, cheap than any single device such as a Skype phone.

Some 7-inch screen too small, the best 10-inch screen

Guess this is a good thing for the UMPC market and ASUS, for a 2nd (ish) gen device its still quite a powerful bit of kit. Infact the school where I work is looking at trialing a few of the 8.9inch versions with year 11 students due to their cheap price and thoughness.
