The EEEPC 701 was not great in terms of maximizing usability for the form factor. The screen bezels were huge as were the speakers beside it. The vertical resolution wasn't even enough to show some control panel dialogs in Windows XP. I had one myself but there were just too many corners cut to take make it work out. Later models solved these issues and more and were much more bang for the buck. And maximized the usability for the size and price point.
