|
Rave CNN Reviews Establishes the Eee PC™ as the Definitive Travel Companion for Everyday Use with Its Sleek and Energy Efficient DesignASUS, the pioneer and trendsetter of ultra mobile Internet devices, is proud to announce that the Eee PC™ has garnered accolades from CNN (Cable News Network), specifically on "Your Green World", a segment which focuses on issues pertaining to environmental conservation. CNN correspondents were impressed with the effortless mobility of the Eee PC™, as well as its extraordinary battery lifespan. Within the same week, 5 ultra-portables were reviewed on the highly regarded CNNMoney.com, of which the Eee PC™ 1000HE emerged victorious, establishing the Eee PC™ as the most reliable and environmentally friendly ultra-mobile Internet device for the users of today.
All-day Companion that is as Portable as it is Green
The Eee PC™ was introduced in 2007 by ASUS as an affordable, lightweight and energy efficient alternative to the everyday notebook. Since then it has grown from strength to strength, incorporating several ingenious technological innovations that has transformed it into a must-have for a new generation of users who desire an ultra-portable device that allows them to surf the Internet, enjoy multimedia and perform fundamental computing effortlessly while on the move.
With screen sizes ranging between 9 to 10-inches and weighing significantly lighter compared to conventional notebooks, the Eee PC™ was praised by the correspondents of CNN's "Your Green World" for its sleek design and its ability to be carried around effortlessly. It was also noted during the segment that the Eee PC™ is also highly energy efficient, a much sought-after trait befitting a device that provides users with all-day computing and entertainment capabilities. The Super Hybrid Engine intelligently monitors the usage of power in the background, and facilitates the deployment and usage of power according to the users' preferences in relation to the specific tasks that they need to perform. The result is longer battery life with each charge, as well as energy savings without constant charging.
Eee PC™ 1000HE - Winner of CNNMoney.com
Since its launch, the Eee PC™ 1000HE has been inundated with awards from both the press as well as consumers the world over. Now the editors of Money Magazine have crowned it as the winner of CNNMoney.com's "Battle of the Netbooks" face-off.
Amongst the five ultra-portables that were tested, the editors were highly impressed with the "no-nonsense, but highly functional, design", and its "responsive and comfortable" keyboard. The editors were particularly pleased about the Eee PC™ 1000HE's touch-pad, which features "big buttons that are easy to find and push", as well as an intuitive touch-pad that "lets you scroll with two fingers". With a 10-inch LED screen that is bright and "delivers vibrant, steady video", as well as speakers that "pump out ample volume", the Eee PC™ 1000HE lasted an impressive 5 hours and 7 minutes* during the comparison test, with the editors proclaiming that "Asus (sic) has chosen the best components to yield a device that is eminently usable, with the keyboard and touch pad to beat". All these features add to acclaim that the Eee PC™ 1000HE has already garnered, establishing it as the most versatile everyday companion, as well as the best Ultra Mobile Internet Device in the market today.
