For $369 the ASUS Eee PC R101D is certainly cheap, but netbooks with better processors are now actually cheaper. The price needs to come down to about $250 before this netbook is a contender again in the value for money stakes.
What it does have is the now somewhat aged Intel Atom N455 (1.66GHz), a basic processor that’s fine for low-end productivity applications. Onboard graphics enable simple casual gaming, but netbooks aren’t generally known for being able to do much more than that.
Otherwise the specs are great for any netbook; there’s 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and a tiny but functional 10.1in (1,024x600 resolution) screen. Portability is also excellent, as the R101D weighs 1.27kg, and measures 36.5mm thick, 178mm deep, and 262mm wide.
This notebook is a little better than average so it's worth considering, but the manufacturer could have done better.
