For the emails, I don't see why it should be slow. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-Eee-PC-701-4G.6745.0.html 512 MB of RAM doesn't give you much to play with and a 4 GB SSD doesn't allow for much swap. The integrated graphics used some of the RAM so there wasn't even 512 MB free. Despite the obvious limitations it was useful. With the SSD I could throw it in the motorcycle bag and expect it to live, and if it didn't I wasn't out much. In 2007 laptops were still relatively expensive and fragile.
