Asus EEE 4G with Touchscreen
I purchased a touchscreen originally for the Everex Cloudbook but when it delayed for a third time, I decided to jump onto the ASUS bandwagon. At the time, I was not sure if I had made the right decision until I actually got my ultraportable. After I added the touchscreen to the EEE successfully, I was very relieved. Having used the EEE for a week, I must say that it’s an extremely useful device. I no longer use my phone for web browsing. My phone is only used for Outlook Exchange email viewing.
With that said, the EEE is extremely hard to modify due to there is little to no space to do any mods. I am surprised and quite jealous that others have done so many mods to their EEEs and I am having difficulty doing one. I’ve attached the touchscreen via an external USB port through internal connections. I will make this a fully internal USB connection in due time. I just need to get the right tools first.

Hi, I have just discovered this cool little laptop. I was shocked to see that you have somehow acquired or modified your EEE 701 with a touch screen.! Is this a model that I haven’t seen or did you attach a different screen? How is this possible, and how much did it cost?
Thanks, Mike
This is the standard ASUS EEE 4G Galaxy. I acquired a touchscreen from eBay for $55 shipped located here… http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130189210443&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003
The touchscreen is a clear plastic layer that goes over the actual LCD that comes with the laptop. The laptop screen does not get replaced. I had to modify the USB controller on the left to it into the screen casing and connected it to the computer through the left USB port. I hope to make the mod more internalized when I get the right equipment.

Hey Long time
Remember me from the 1src forums?
Nice to see your still around. Cool mod with the touchscreen on the eee.
I got one myself, hate the thing keyboards way too small and the battery life is rubbish (got the 2g surf)
How did you install windows on it?
