It appears the screen size on the Asus 701ee is 800x480? That seems like a reasonable resolution to expect Fedora to work without *horrible* UI problems. Especially given that it's not a hypothetical need; you're actually running into problems on a system that people might reasonably run Fedora on. (And small screens have undergone something of a renaissance, so it's good if Fedora could be a bit more flexible - who knows what will be coming out next year.)
I guess the thing to do next is file a bug against Anaconda and ask that it run at this resolution without the need for "secret" keypress.
