ASUS EEE PC VS INTEL CLASSMATE

The Asus Eee PC and Intel's Classmate are two very small sized and low cost laptops. The Asus Eee PC offers impressive features and runs on Intel processor with 512MB RAM. It weighs just 2 lbs and costs less than $400. This notebook is fast and efficient but comes with small keyboard with low screen resolution. The Intel Classmate on the other hand, is a rugged notebook with Windows XP and MS Office along with 2GB hard drive. The RAM however is less than Asus Eee at 256MB. The screen resolution is also low along with the small hard drive. In all, the Asus Eee turns out to be a better bet than Intel's Classmate.
