The black model EEEPC 4G SURF (4GS-PK008), and newer white models (4GS-W010) have a removable panel on their underside that allows the user to change the RAM without fully disassembling the system. The older white models (4GS-W010) lack this access panel, and require some disassembly in order to access the RAM.[11]
Naming of the 700 series of models of the device appears to relate to the size of installed SSD, camera, and battery size. The Eee PC Surf models include the 4400v mAh battery pack and no webcam, while the non-Surf models have the 5200o mAh battery pack and a webcam installed. The model numbers (700, 701) may still be the same as has been seen on pre-production samples. Asus may offer upgrades for the SSD storage via the empty Mini PCIe slot, which has been shown to be labeled FLASH_CON in take apart photos of the 4G. When a Mini PCIe card is inserted into the spare empty slot, the internal SSD gets disabled, making the device unable to boot from the original SSD.[23] There are also signal lines for a USB port on the Mini PCIe pins which have been used to connect various USB devices internally. Some 701 models with serial numbers starting at 7B do not have a second mini PCIe slot soldered onto the motherboard, though the circuit traces and solder pads remain.[24]
Originally dubbed the “Eee PC 701” to accommodate other models with different screen sizes, the name has since been shortened to simply “Eee PC”. ASUS 's officially announced models are the Eee PC 8G, 4G, 4G Surf and 2G Surf, all of which feature the same 7” screen. There is speculation that models with different sizes may be released in the future.
With dimensions of 8.9 x 6.3 x 1.3 (22.5 cm x 16.5 cm x 3.5 cm) and a weight of merely 2 lb (0.92 kg) the ASUS Eee PC 4G is one of the smallest netbooks available. This compact and highly portable device has a 7 wide color TFT LCD screen with a maximum resolution of 800 x 480-pixel (WXGA). The Eeee 4G is powered by an Intel Celeron M ULV 900MHz processor. It comes with 512 MB DDR2 RAM, 4 GB Solid State Drive, an integrated 10/100 network card for fast ethernet connectivity, integrated wireless LAN, 1 x SD card slot, 3 x USB 2.0 ports, 1 VGA monitor out, headphone jack, microphone input and a 0.3 megapixel Webcam. The 4-cell 5200 mAh 7.4V Li-Ion battery is rated at 3.5 hours. The pre-installed operating system Xandros Linux features applications like the Firefox Web browser and the office suite OpenOffice.org that enable you to accomplish many common tasks away from home and office.
