Features
The user interface of the Eee has
been covered previously in our 4G model review. However, there are some
differences in the applications.
A comparison between the 4G/4G Surf
models and the 2G shows that several applications are not present on the 2G
Surf model.

Likely all of these except the
Webcam link (which lacks supporting hardware) were omitted to save space on the
2GB drive.

And the funny thing about the panel, is that a widescreen display would fit in, there is a lot of empty space on both side of the current model. Is there a company that makes a widescreen LCD panel of this size (small enough)?rqle - Friday, January 4, 2008 - link
Is there still anyway to upgrade the memory in the 2G model since it doesn't have an access memory panel? Can you open the back manually? Is there any slots?BladeVenom - Friday, January 4, 2008 - link
I heard it's soldered on in the 2G.Matt Campbell - Friday, January 4, 2008 - link
I've seen several reports that the memory is indeed soldered on in the 2G, and also lacks the Mini PCIe socket. I haven't yet cracked it open myself. Some users are reporting the 4G Surf, though also lacking an access panel, *does* have socketed memory that can be upgraded (though disassembly is not for the faint of heart).Some users in the eeeuser forums have also reported the 2G unit has a slower CPU than the 4G: an 800 MHz Celeron clocked at 571 MHz. I created an nLite install last night, and a Win XP install is on my to-do list.
