The '''ASUS Eee PC''' is a [[netbook]] computer line from [[Asus]], and a part of the [[ASUS Eee]] product family. At the time of its introduction in late 2007, it was noted for its combination of a lightweight, [[Linux]]-based [[operating system]], [[solid-state drive]] (SSD), and relatively low cost. Newer models added the options of [[Microsoft Windows]] operating system and rotating media [[hard disk drive]]s (HDD), and initially retailed for up to 500 [[euros]].<ref name="notebookcheck" />

The first Eee PC was a milestone in the personal computer business,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://money.cnn.com/2008/10/13/technology/copeland_asus.fortune/index.htm|title=Disruptors: The 'netbook' revolution|author=Michael Copeland|date=14 October 2008|work=[[Fortune (magazine)|Fortune]]|access-date=1 November 2017}}</ref> launching the netbook category of small, low-cost laptops in the West (in Japan, [[subnotebook]]s had long been a staple in computing). According to Asus, the name Eee derives from "the three Es", an abbreviation of its advertising [[slogan]] for the device: "Easy to learn, Easy to work, Easy to play".<ref name="Auto5F-1" />

In January 2013, ASUS officially ended production of their Eee PC series, citing declining sales due to consumers favoring [[Tablet computer|tablets]] and [[Ultrabook]]s over netbooks.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.yahoo.com/acer-asus-stop-making-netbooks-180300299.html |title=Acer and Asus to Stop Making Netbooks |author=Spurbeck, Jared |publisher=[[Yahoo!]] |date=3 January 2013 |access-date=2013-01-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130107023146/http://news.yahoo.com/acer-asus-stop-making-netbooks-180300299.html |archive-date=7 January 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://gizmodo.com/5972429/asus-and-acer-the-netbooks-is-dead |title=Asus and Acer: The Netbook Is Dead |author=Condliffe, Jeff |publisher=[[Gizmodo]] |date=2 January 2013 |access-date=2013-02-13}}</ref> However, they subsequently restarted the line with the release of the [[Asus EeeBook|EeeBook]] series in 2015.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url = http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/asus-announces-260-chromebook-like-11-6-inch-windows-8-1-notebook/|title = Asus' goofiest name returns in the EeeBook X205, a $200 Windows 8.1 notebook|last = Krawczyk|first = Konrad|date = 3 September 2014|access-date = 27 December 2014}}</ref>

== History ==

=== Eee 700 series ===

[[File:ASUS Eee PC PIC 0971.JPG|thumb|Black 700 series unit side view showing the [[Secure Digital|SD]] [[card reader#Memory card readers|card reader]], two [[USB]] ports, the [[VGA]] output and the [[Kensington Security Slot]]]]

ASUS announced two Eee PC models at [[Computex Taipei]] 2007: the 701 and the 1001.<ref name="Auto5F-2" /> The 701 base model Eee PC 4G was released on 16 October 2007 in [[Taiwan]]. Three additional models followed.

Both the price and the size of the device are small in comparison with similar [[ultra-mobile PC]]s. The Eee series is a response to the [[OLPC XO-1|XO-1]] notebook from the [[One Laptop per Child]] initiative.{{Citation needed|date=March 2020}} At the [[Intel Developer Forum]] 2007, Asus demonstrated the [[Classmate PC]] and the Eee PC, and listed specifications for four models of the Eee PC.

In some countries, the products have the marketing names EeePC 8G, 4G, 4G Surf, and 2G Surf, though in other countries the machines are still designated by the model numbers 700 and 701. The 4G Surf uses socketed RAM but some revisions do not have a door to access the slot.<ref name="4gsurftakeapart" />

ASUS released a version of the Eee PC with Microsoft [[Windows XP]] pre-installed in January 2008. In Japan, the version is known as the 4G-X.

Some early 700-series models drained the battery approximately 10% per day when the unit was completely powered off and not plugged in, thus emptying the battery even when not in use.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.osnews.com/story/20298/Review_Asus_Eee_PC_4G_701|title=OSNews.com|access-date=15 July 2015}}</ref>

==== User modifications ====

Some users of the 701 physically modified the machine to replace the 4&nbsp;GB [[solid state drive]].<ref name="Auto5F-3" />

The 8&nbsp;GB versions of the 700 series leave the SSD area on the motherboard empty and connect their SSD as an internal [[PCI Express Mini Card]]. Replacing the SSD requires only an SSD compatible with the connector. The SSD area on the motherboard may also be used to install other devices, accommodate physically larger SSDs, or even hard-solder an SSD salvaged from a 2&nbsp;GB or 4&nbsp;GB 700 model. As this requires only soldering on a new device without removing an old one, the risk of doing so may be acceptable to some users.

=== Eee 900 series ===

[[File:ASUS Eee PC 900 0010.JPG|thumb|White 900 series]]

The Eee 900 series was launched in [[Hong Kong]] on 16 April 2008, and in the UK on 1 May 2008 for £329 (approximately 410 € or 650 US$ including [[value added tax|VAT]]). It was launched in the US on 12 May 2008. The Eee 900 series dimensions are a little larger than the 70x models–measuring 225 × 165 × 35&nbsp;mm (WxDxH) (8.8" × 6.5" × 1.4") and weighing around 1&nbsp;kg (2.2&nbsp;lb). The machine has a [[multi-touch]] touchpad allowing two-finger scroll and zoom via a "pinch" gesture, and is available with Linux and/or MS Windows XP configurations, depending on the market.

The [[Intel Atom]] version is named the EeePC 900a and comes with an 8GB or 16 GB [[solid-state drive|SSD]]. Some of these Eee PCs also have a 4 GB SSD installed similarly to that in the 701 for a total storage space of 20GB. Those that do not are named the Asus EEE 900 16G. The Windows XP version is named the EeePC 900 Win and also comes in two versions: one with a total storage of 12 GB (one 4 GB SSD and one 8 GB SSD) and one with 16 GB (on a single SSD). The Linux 20G version is sold for the same price as the Windows 12G version. In the case of the 16G EEEs, the Windows version costs more than the Linux version.

The Windows version comes with Microsoft Works and [[Windows Live]] Suite preinstalled. It also includes [[StarOffice|StarSuite 8]]. The machines are otherwise identical to each other with 1 GB of RAM, an 8.9-inch (226&nbsp;mm) 1024×600 LCD and a 1.3-megapixel webcam. This model has the same Intel Celeron CPU as the Eee PC 700, running at its full 900&nbsp;MHz clock speed (rather than the 630&nbsp;MHz speed seen in the Eee PC 700).

==== Other Eee 90x models ====

On 3 June 2008, Asus unveiled the Eee 901 at Computex Taipei. It was a revision of the 900 series with a different chassis. The 901 features an [[Intel Atom]] Diamondville CPU clocked at 1.6&nbsp;GHz, an "expanded" battery (listed as 6-cell), and "Super Hybrid Engine" software for power management which will provide a battery life of 4.2-7.8 hours. [[Bluetooth]] and [[802.11n]] Wi-Fi are also included. The 901 uses the [[list of Intel chipsets#Core/Core 2 mobile chipsets|Intel 945GME]] chipset, meeting the requirements for Windows Vista or 7 [[Windows Aero|Aero]]. The 901 is otherwise similar to the 900, shipping in Linux or Windows XP configurations with flash memory storage of different sizes. It was discovered that the Eee 901 has capacity for a "3GCard" upgrade.<ref name="Auto5F-4" />

The Eee PC 900D has 8GB flash memory and Windows XP preinstalled.

The Eee PC 904HD was one of the first Eee PC models which features an 80 GB HDD instead of an SSD. It features an Intel Celeron M running at 900&nbsp;MHz and gets power from a 6-cell battery. Like other Eee PC 90x models, it features 802.11 b/g WLAN and a 1.3M pixel webcam. Windows XP comes pre-installed.

The Eee PC 904HA's dimensions are 266&nbsp;mm(W) × 191.2&nbsp;mm(D) × 28.5&nbsp;mm~ 38&nbsp;mm(H). The 8.9-inch screen has a native resolution size of 1024×600 pixels (WSVGA). The CPU is an Intel Atom N270 @ 1.6&nbsp;GHz, and the standard model came with 1 GB DDR2 RAM occupying the single memory slot. The 160&nbsp;GB Hard Disk Drive had Microsoft Windows XP Home pre-installed. Also standard are the 6-cell battery, the 1.3M pixel webcam and integrated microphone, and both Ethernet and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g network connections.<ref name="ASUS 904HA specs" />

The Eee PC 900A features almost the same specs as the Eee PC 901 (except the primary SSD, Bluetooth, 1.3M pixel webcam and the 6-cell battery, that has been replaced by a 4-cell battery), but in a case nearly the same as used in the Eee PC 900 model.

On 17 June 2009, Asus released the Disney Netpal (Eee PC MK90), which is similar to the Eee 90x models.<ref name="Auto5F-5" />

==== Battery controversy ====

There was some controversy regarding the battery supplied with the EeePC 900. Versions pre-released to many non-UK journalists and reviewers were equipped with a 5800 mAh battery, but the first retail versions in Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and [[Singapore]] were shipped with a smaller, 4400 mAh (76% of that capacity) battery, which commentators note has led to a great variation in the machine's battery life in reviews,<ref name="Auto5F-6" /> in some cases as much as 90 minutes.<ref name="Auto5F-7" /> As a result of the objections to this, Asus provided a free battery replacement program in Hong Kong and Singapore, and ran a paid-for battery exchange program in the UK.

Asus has stated that the smaller battery is "presently the standard battery supplied in the UK" and "the default standard battery pack for Asus Eee PC 900 worldwide". Asus provided a battery exchange to all UK Eee PC 900 customers for £10, and released a firmware update which claimed to extend battery life by 30 minutes ("BIOS 0601: Updated all battery discharge tables to extend battery life").

In [[Australia]] and [[Italy]], the situation was reversed: Reviewers received EeePC 900 systems fitted with the 4400 mAh battery but the retail models were equipped with the 5800 mAh battery. Customers of [[Media Markt]] in [[Italy]] received the EeePC 900 at the beginning of sales (May/June) with a 5800 mAh battery and later (June/July) with a 4400 mAh battery.

[[Best Buy]]'s custom variants of the 1000HD and 900A also both include a 4400&nbsp;mAh battery.

Part of the above problem extends from the fact that the entire range was substantially more successful than Asus had originally anticipated. Asus has{{when?|date=July 2023}} several large complexes scattered throughout Taiwan and China, with the largest in the city of Suzhou (China), being the size of eight football fields. Upon the unexpected success of the range, Asus factories worked around the clock to keep up supply and further development. Consequently, even within Asus testing labs in Taipei, many variations were found within test models. Generally, however, Asus does inform reviewers that the final retail model may contain different features from those offered in the review model.

=== Eee PC 1000 series ===

[[File:Asus EEE 1000HD.jpg|thumb|Black 1000 series; 1000HD model shown]]

The ''1000'' series launched at [[Computex Taipei]] on 3 June 2008.<ref name="register_1000" /> It featured a new 10-inch (254&nbsp;mm) screen and a 1.6&nbsp;GHz [[Intel Atom]] CPU, although built-in power management software can increase the speed to 1.7&nbsp;GHz. The 1000 model shipped with Linux, an 8&nbsp;[[Gigabyte|GB]] [[Solid-state drive|SSD]] and a 32 GB SSD (totalling 40 GB); the 1000H model shipped with Windows XP Home or Linux and an 80 or 160 GB [[Serial ATA|SATA]] [[Hard disk drive|HDD]]. Both the 1000 and the 1000H support up to 2&nbsp;GB of DDR2 [[Random access memory|RAM]] of 667&nbsp;MHz clock speed. The 1000 has a rated battery life of 4.2–7.5 hours, while the 1000H is rated for 3.2–7 hours.<ref name=Laptops-Tech>{{cite web|title=Asus Eee PC 1000H Review, Specs|url=http://laptops-tech.com/asus-eee-pc-1000h-review-specs/|work=Laptops Tech|access-date=10 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131215182606/http://laptops-tech.com/asus-eee-pc-1000h-review-specs/|archive-date=15 December 2013|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> It also offers a keyboard that is 92% the size of generic notebooks, aiming to make it more comfortable to type. Like the Eee PC 901, the new machines feature 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. [[WiMAX]] is not supported.

The '''1000HD''' (released in September 2008) is a slightly cheaper version of the 1000 series. It features the same specifications as the 1000H, except it uses a 900&nbsp;MHz Celeron CPU chip.

The '''1000HA''' (released in October 2008) also costs less than the 1000H, but has the same Intel Atom 1.6&nbsp;GHz CPU, a 160 GB HDD, and 1&nbsp;GB of RAM. It also has wireless and on some models, Bluetooth.

The '''1000XPH''' has the same Intel Atom 1.6&nbsp;GHz CPU, an 80 GB HDD, and 1&nbsp;GB of RAM. Other amenities include 10/100 LAN and 802.11 b/g Wireless LAN adapters, an integrated webcam, but no Bluetooth. The ''1000HG'' features a Huawei 3G-Modem.

In February 2009, Asus unveiled the '''1000HE''', using the new Intel [[List of Intel Atom processors#Netbook processors (sub-notebook)|Atom 280 processor]], with a 10-inch LED-lit display at 1024x600 physical but 1024x768 virtual, 6-cell battery with an advertised 9.5 hours of battery life, 160 GB HDD running at 5400RPM, Bluetooth, 802.11n wireless networking, 1.3-megapixel camera, and revised keyboard similar to Apple's keyboards.

Although the screen resolution on the 1000 series is 1024x600, it has pixel mapping (memory addressing) which covers a virtual 1024x768 desktop. One could choose with a simple Fn key combination what graphics mode to operate in: either 800x600, 1024x600 (native resolution), virtual 1024x768 compressed (vertically compressed into 600 space), and 1024x768 with panning. The latter mode would display only 660 vertical pixels at a time, but as the pointer approached the top or bottom of the screen the display content would shift the "hidden" pixels into view to better display certain websites. It also freed more screen real estate for other tasks, such as web browsing or office applications, by allowing the user to move some things, like the top empty grey window frame area (otherwise wasted) off-screen. A similar panning effect can be achieved on other Linux systems using [[RandR|xrandr]].

[[File:Asus Eee 1005HA.jpg|thumb|Asus 1005HA-V, with "seashell" design; the screen hinges to sit behind the base]]

At [[CeBIT]] 2009, Asus unveiled the 10-inch EEE '''1005HA''', introducing the new design concept "Seashell".<ref name="Auto5F-8" />

The '''1005HA''' comes in three models. From least to most expensive, they are the 1005HA''-B'', the 1005HA''-V'' and the 1005HA''-P''. The 1005HA-B has a removable 3-cell battery with a rated 4-hour life per charge, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and uses the N270 processor. At the higher end, the 1005HA-P has a removable 6-cell, 5600 mAh, 63 Wh battery with rated 10.5 hour battery life, a 1.3-megapixel camera and uses the N280 processor. There is also a 1005HA-H model, sold in Poland, equipped with a 6-cell battery, an N270 processor and a 0.3-megapixel camera.<ref name="Auto5F-9" />

Asus officially announced the first Eee with [[Nvidia Ion]] graphics, the '''1201N''' , on 19 November 2009, later replaced by the 1201PN and 1201NL and the '''1215N''', with a more powerful Atom D525 dual-core processor and Ion 2 graphics.

The 1215 series then saw the release of the 1215''B'',<ref name="Auto5F-10" /> which came with an E-450/[[AMD Fusion#Brazos .28ultra-portable.29|E-350]]/C30/C50/C60<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_1215B/#specifications|title=Eee PC 1215B - Laptops - ASUS Global|website=ASUS Global}}</ref> processor, a "Zacate" [[AMD APU|APU]]. The 1215B has USB 3.0 ports, as well as a CPU and BIOS that support full hardware virtualization in both Linux (via [[Kernel-based Virtual Machine|KVM]], [[Xen]], [[VirtualBox]], [[VMware]]) and Windows (via [[XP Mode#Windows XP Mode|XP mode]], VirtualBox, VMware). The 1215B is the first of the Eee PC line of computers that supports virtualization. The 1215B was subsequently replaced by the upgraded 1225B,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_1225B/#specifications|title=Eee PC 1225B - Laptops - ASUS Global|website=ASUS Global}}</ref> which replaced the E350 APU of the previous model with the [[AMD Bobcat#Available processors|E-450 APU]] which provides a minor speed bump to the CPU and turbocore for the GPU.

===Eee 1025c and 1025ce===

These were released in 2012 and described as the last in the line of the Asus Eee PC series. With only 1&nbsp;GB memory, standard USB2 ports and sluggish performance, these were not especially notable releases other than for their exceptional battery life.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/review/R1OEC3880P2JGB/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R1OEC3880P2JGB|title=Amazon.com: J. Buist "is just a guy with an opinion"'s review of ASUS 1025C-MU17-BK 10.1-Inch Netbook (Black)|work=amazon.com|access-date=15 July 2015}}</ref> Other reported problems are the lack of a hatch to access the memory, so RAM cannot be upgraded without breaking open the case; also, there is a single mono speaker rather than dual stereo speakers.

===Eee 1015 series===

In 2013 Asus restarted the Eee PC series<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hitechreview.com/it-products/notebooks/asus-debuts-eee-pc-1015e/42587/|title=ASUS debuts Eee PC 1015E|author=alexander|work=hitechreview.com|date=23 April 2013 |access-date=15 July 2015}}</ref> with the 1015E models, some of which are on Windows 8 and some on Ubuntu Linux. These come with 2&nbsp;GB memory and USB3 ports.

The 1015E fixes some of the problems with the 1025C by using a faster processor, 2GB memory and stereo speakers. The RAM is soldered in place and cannot be upgraded. Due to improved performance, the battery life is shorter than that of the 1025 series. It is possible to reduce the processor clock speed to increase battery life.

=== EeeBook  ===
''Further Information: [[Asus EeeBook]]''

In 2014 Asus relaunched the Eee PC with the EeeBook lineup of computers, starting with the X205TA model.<ref name=":0" /> By 2017 the EeeBook lineup was succeeded by the [[Asus Vivo#VivoBook E Series|Asus VivoBook E Series]]. Some EeeBook laptops were rebranded to VivoBook E Series laptops; the EeeBook E202 was rebranded to the [[Asus Vivo#VivoBook#VivoBook E202|VivoBook E202]], ending the EeeBook lineup again. The EeeBook lineup consists of the E202 (E202SA), E502 (E502SA and E502MA) and X205 (X205TA).

[[File:Asus Eee 701.jpg|thumb|Asus Eee PC 701, with fountain pen for scale, running [[Ubuntu Netbook Edition]]]]

===Rechargeable CMOS battery===

Asus Eee PC series models 1005HA, 1005HAB, 1008HA, and others use [[Varta]] ML1220 or equivalent [[Maxell]], [[Sanyo]] and [[Panasonic]] ML1220 lithium ion coin cell rechargeable batteries, terminated with a two-pin [[Molex connector|Molex connector plug]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-EEE-PC-1008HA-1005HAB/dp/B005J1T5YM|title=Amazon.com: NEW CMOS RTC Battery ASUS EEE PC 1008HA 1005HAB Dimension: 12.5 x 2mm: Computers & Accessories|work=amazon.com|access-date=15 July 2015}}</ref>

=== Processor ===

Eee PC models have typically used netbook specific processors or ultra-low voltage versions of mainstream processors. The earliest Eee PC models used a 900&nbsp;MHz [[Celeron|Intel Celeron M]] processor underclocked to 630&nbsp;MHz. Later models shipped with [[Intel Atom]] and [[AMD Fusion]] processors.

=== Display ===

The Eee PC 700 has an 800×480 [[pixel]], 7&nbsp;inch (178&nbsp;mm) display, measured diagonally. The screen does not cover the entire space within the lid; instead it is flanked on the sides by stereo speakers, and above by the (optional) camera in the trim at the top. The Eee PC 900 and 901 come with a 1024×600 pixel 8.9-inch (226&nbsp;mm) display, almost filling the lid.

Later models came with 10&nbsp;inch to 12.1&nbsp;inch displays and up to 1366×768 resolution.

With all models, an external display can be supported through a standard [[VGA]] connector. On some early models this connector lacks the screws to secure it to the Eee PC, which some consider a safety precaution. The manufacturer does not give any specifications on maximum resolution and display configuration (mirroring, extended desktop), but most models can handle an external display at native resolution of 1440×1050, and even 1600×900, although performance starts to slow down. Models that ship with Xandros do not have access to the full capacity of the external VGA output by default, allowing only 'mirroring'. Users must reconfigure their xorg.conf file, or install a more recent OS to allow the higher resolution output.

[[File:ASUS Eee PC 1215P IIIII.jpg|thumb|250px|Asus Eee PC 1215P Seashell with Intel dual-core cpu (N 570) and a 12.1" HD display]]

The EEE PC900 has a tendency for the display to fail with black blobs due to air leakage. This is repairable but depending on exact replacement unit sometimes needs the eight-pin EEPROM moved from the old display to the new one, and a single track linked to regain picture and brightness control after the new one is fitted.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Asus_Eee_PC_900_Laptop_Troubleshooting|title=Asus Eee PC 900 Laptop Troubleshooting|website=iFixit|date=3 April 2013 }}</ref>

=== Keyboard ===

On a normal, full size computer keyboard, the 10 keys Q–P measure 190&nbsp;mm (7.48&nbsp;in). The 700 and 900 series are equipped with similar keyboards; these are 82% of the size of a generic one, meaning that the Q–P keys measure 155&nbsp;mm (6.10&nbsp;in). The 1000 series, as it fits in a more spacious case, has 92% of a full size keyboard, where the Q–P keys measure 175&nbsp;mm (6.89&nbsp;in).

Some Eee PC lines such as the 1000HE and 1215s uses the [[island-style keyboard]], similar to keyboards used in [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] computers and [[Sony]]'s [[VAIO]] series, where the keys are reminiscent of [[Scrabble]] tiles, being spaced apart and raised from the surface below.

=== Storage ===

[[File:Ssd eee.jpeg|thumb|Removable 8 GB SSD in Eee PC]]

The early model Eee PCs use a [[solid-state drive]] for storage (instead of a [[hard disk drive|hard drive]]), which consumes less power when in use, allows the device to boot faster, generates no noise, and is less susceptible to mechanical shock damage than hard drives. A downside of SSD storage ([[flash memory]]) is that an individual sector can be written only about 200,000 times. This problem can be partially mitigated by intelligent [[wear leveling]], resulting in a [[MTBF]] similar to conventional platter-based hard drives.

The SSDs used in early Eee PCs also had extremely poor random write performance; the S101 does not have this problem.<ref name="Auto5F-11" />

In the 2 GB and 4 GB models of the 700 series of the Eee PC, the SSD is permanently soldered to the board. In the 8 GB model, the SSD is a card connected via the internal [[PCI Express Mini Card]] connector, leaving the original SSD area on the motherboard empty.

The Eee PC 900 comes with a removable PCI Express Mini SSD module, with or without four additional 1 GB memory chips soldered on the main board. Different models come with different-sized SSDs. One Linux version has 4 GB, a MS Windows XP version has 8 GB, and all remaining ones, MS Windows XP or Linux, have 16 GB.

The Eee PC 1000 contains a fast 8 GB internal SSD and a slower 32 GB internal flash drive.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

Some models, such as the 1000H and 904HD, do not have a SSD, and instead have a SATA internal hard drive of either 80 or 160 GB, which can be upgraded by the user.

All Eee PC models also include a memory card reader, supporting [[Secure Digital|SD, SDHC]] and [[MultiMediaCard|MMC]] cards for additional storage, while the Eee PC S101 also has support for [[MS Pro|Memorystick and MS-PRO]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Asus Eee S101 Review|url= http://www.apothetech.com/asus-eee-s101-review/|work=ApoTheTech|access-date=25 February 2009}}</ref>

Eee PC 1004DN is the first model with a Super-Multi optical disc drive (ODD) that reads and writes data to DVD or compact disc.

=== Memory ===

Most early Eee PCs use 533/667&nbsp;MHz [[DDR2 SDRAM]] via a standard SO-DIMM module, which can be swapped out. The 700 and 701SDX have RAM soldered to the motherboard. Other models (like the white 4GS-W010) lacked memory access panels and required disassembly to upgrade memory.<ref name="Auto5F-12" />

Later models, such as the black model EEEPC 4G SURF (4GS-PK008), and newer white models (4GS-W010), have a removable panel on the underside that allows the user to change the RAM without fully disassembling the system.

Asus reverted to soldering RAM directly onto the mainboard in their later releases of the Eee PC range. The Asus technical data for the 1025c and 1025ce models is seen as erroneous by certain online retailers offering RAM upgrades.<ref name="gogodigital">{{cite web | url =http://www.gogodigital.co.uk/reviews/asus-eee-pc-1025ce-pur014s-purple-n2800-netbook-1gb-320gb-dual-core-1-86ghz.html | title =GoGoDigital offers RAM upgrades on the Asus 1025 netbook | publisher =[[GoGoDigital]] | date =4 March 2013 | access-date =2013-03-04 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20130603235706/http://www.gogodigital.co.uk/reviews/asus-eee-pc-1025ce-pur014s-purple-n2800-netbook-1gb-320gb-dual-core-1-86ghz.html | archive-date =3 June 2013 | url-status =dead }}</ref>

=== Cooling ===

In an EE380 talk,<ref name="Auto5F-13" /><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110720051424/http://stanford-online.stanford.edu/courses/ee380/080514-ee380-300.asx video archive]</ref> an Asus engineer mentioned that the Eee PC uses the keyboard shielding as a [[heat sink]] to absorb the heat generated by the processor. Three chips need heatsinking, and this is achieved by heat-conductive adhesive pads which sit between the chip heatsink flats and the keyboard shield and connect them thermally. It is important to ensure that the heatsink pads are replaced correctly after maintenance such as cleaning or replacing the fan. The Eee PC has a fan and vents to cool off the system.

== Operating systems (software user environment) ==

Most Eee PC models were shipped with either [[Windows XP]] or a Linux distribution called [[Xandros]]. Later models (e.g. 1015E) ship with [[Windows 7]] Starter or [[Ubuntu]] installed.

Users have tried to install various other [[operating system]]s on Eee PCs. The following are known to work on most models:

* [[Linux]], especially [[Lubuntu]], [[Debian (operating system)|Debian]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/|title=DebianEeePC - Debian Wiki|website=wiki.debian.org}}</ref> [[Alpine Linux|Alpine]],<ref>{{cite web  |title=Assembly Nights |url=http://ratfactor.com/assembly-nights |website=ratfactor.com |access-date=19 August 2022}}</ref> [[Salix_OS|Salix]], [[SliTaz]], PepperMint <6, Bodhi 4.x, and other Linuxes still available in 32bit and employing an interface (environment) with a small memory-footprint
* [[ChromeOS]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android x86]]<ref name="Auto5F-14" /> 
* [[macOS|Mac OS X]]: [[Mac OS X Tiger|v10.4]], [[Mac OS X Leopard|v10.5]] and [[Mac OS X Snow Leopard|v10.6]]<ref name="Auto5F-17" /><ref name="Auto5F-18" /><ref name="Auto5F-19" />
* [[Windows XP|Microsoft Windows XP]]<ref name="Auto5F-21" />
* [[EasyPeasy|EasyPeasy Linux]] (custom for the eeePC, now discontinued but still available for download)
* [[Windows Vista]],<ref name="Auto5F-22" /> [[Windows 7|7]], [[Windows 8|8]], [[Windows 8.1|8.1]] and [[Windows 10|10]]

Some of the above operating systems, while they may have been available, and some barely worked sluggishly, are no longer up to date. Some have even been discontinued or now only offer 64bit versions which are not compatible with the eeePC series.

=== Configurations ===

[[File:Asus-eee-5colors-2.jpg|thumb|The 700 series units were shipped in three colors besides [[black]] and [[white]].]]
[[File:EeePC Case.jpg|thumb|EeePC in its case]]

Naming of the 700 series of models of the device appears to relate to the size of installed SSD, camera, and battery size. The Eee PC Surf models include the 4400 mAh battery pack and no webcam, while the non-Surf models have the 5200 mAh battery pack and a webcam installed. The model numbers (700, 701) may still be the same as has been seen on pre-production samples. Asus may offer upgrades for the SSD storage via the empty Mini PCIe slot, which has been shown to be labeled FLASH_CON in take-apart photos of the 4G. When a Mini PCIe card is inserted into the spare empty slot, the internal SSD is disabled, making the device unable to boot from the original SSD.<ref name="disabled-minipcie" /> There are also signal lines for a USB port on the Mini PCIe pins which have been used to connect various USB devices internally. Some 701 models with serial numbers starting at 7B do not have a second mini PCIe slot soldered onto the motherboard, though the circuit traces and solder pads remain.<ref>{{cite web|title=New Eee PC netbooks Missing Mini-PCIe Connector|url= http://www.apothetech.com/new-batch-of-eee-pc-missing-mini-pcie-connector/|work=ApoTheTech|access-date=2 December 2007}}</ref><ref name="eeeeuser-nominipcie" />

In the 70x series, the pre-installed [[Xandros]] operating system has a [[Linux kernel]] with a kernel option set limiting the detected [[RAM]] size to a maximum of 1 GB, even if a larger RAM module is installed. The actual capacity is shown in full in the [[BIOS]] setup and under other OSes. However, it is possible to [[recompile]] the kernel with support for more RAM.

The 900 and later laptops had the kernel pre-configured to support up to 4 GB of memory address space.

== Fanbase and continued use ==
The ASUS Eee PC series of netbooks still attract a small crowd of people who need an affordable, lightweight and tiny netbook for traveling. Due to their lack of powerful processors and modern compatibility, however, they are nearing little to no use today due to being replaced by [[Chromebook]]s and other cheaper alternatives.{{Citation needed|reason=a link to evidence is needed|date=October 2019}}
