ASUS Eee PC 4G-X - Windows XP Version
PC Perspective has just reviewed the brand new ASUS Eee PC 4G-X, which comes pre-loaded with Windows XP instead of the Linux-based Xandros operating system.
Let’s see what they had to say:
“Our opinion on the ASUS Eee PC has actually gone UP with this release - we are Windows junkies and as much as we are pushed or persuaded, moving to Linux, especially in the form that ASUS installed on the initial Eee PC just isn't what I want. In fact, one even has to wonder why the Linux version of the Eee PC will continue with the new 9" screen update of the Eee PC just around the corner; carrying two SKUs for the same product where the only difference is the OS seems unlikely, though ASUS could always allow users to download and install the Xandros OS if they want...
In the end, ASUS has increased the usability of the Eee PC 4G for MOST buyers while keeping the price the same - an easy win.”
While the Eee PC has been "Windows XP compatible” since it was first launched, it is nice to see that ASUS is offering this new Windows version at no additional premium. By the way, the Eee PC 900 series, which features a larger 8.9-inch 1024×600 pixel screen as well as other improvements, is set to launch sometime this month, so keep that in mind if you are put off by the current model’s small screen.
