Asus expects its Eee PC running Microsoft Windows XP to outsell the Linux Xandros version of its hit mini-notebook. But does the system have the performance potential? Earlier this week the Windows XP version of the Eee PC 4G, which will be available to consumers in mid-April, arrived at our offices.
The machine looks exactly like the original 4G; it has the same pearl-white chassis and standard ports. The internal specs are the same as well: 512MB of RAM, a 4GB solid state drive, and an Intel Mobile CPU. The only difference is when we booted up the system (in a quick 40 seconds—see our full boot video below) we were welcomed by the Windows chime and the green grass and blue sky desktop of Windows XP.
