 Excellent, Easy, Efficient EEE August 9, 2008
I wanted this for travel and at work to keep beside my work computer for personal use. My techno geek husband so wanted me to get a laptop, that when I finally ordered it, that nite as I fell off to sleep I heard him say..."it's not too late, you can cancel that order and get a laptop.." whispered in my ear!!!!
For those of you, (perhaps mostly women, I'm not sure) who have always wondered at the amazing number of programs on your computer that bog it down and don't get used, this has just the right programs.
I highly recommend it :-)
Just what I wanted August 9, 2008
For years I have looked for a really lightweight notebook that I could carry with me. The Eee PC really fits the bill. I have minimal Unix experience but I am surprised how easy it was to use. The preloaded Google Docs allow me to do Word compatible Word Processing and Excel Spreadsheets. There is more but I don't need the other apps. The networking apps allowed me to easily share a wireless network at home and to find one to use on the road. The Eee PC may not be for everybody but it is just what I was looking for.
 ASUS EeePC 4G August 1, 2008
Tiny computer is great for travel for simple things like email, IMs and general internet use, but some sites like facebook.com take forever to come in, and some won't come in at all(myspace.com). Blogs say you can buy more gigabites/memory, but nothing in the manual tells you how, and nobody in big stores (Circuit City, Best Buy, etc.) will do it for you or even touch them. Frustrating.

Does everything claimed for it everything that an i-phone can do, and with no service contract.
Great little laptop July 21, 2008
I don't really understand why people buy most laptops. At 5 pounds or more, they are not easy to carry, and they are too big to fit anywhere. Do you really need a dvdr/w with you at all times?
What I want is a truly portable machine, one so small you never debate bringing it along with you. This fills the bill.
I got the 701 instead of the 900 since reviews said the wifi range was better and the battery life is better, and of course the price is better. With the 901 coming out, the price of the 900 is coming down, but still I think the 701 was the better deal. I upped the ram to 1g (cheap), and added an 8g sd card, and the machine handles all my needs. I am a linux user in general, so the operating system was familiar to me, but these machines also run windows if you prefer.
My previous very-portable computer was a Zaurus 3100, which is more pda than computer, but has a keyboard. The difference in usability is huge; you can comfortably use the eee for word processing, spreadsheets, as well as the internet applications it is known for. The Zaurus was a pain to use, this is a pleasure, and it is still small enough to go everywhere with me.
I can't comment on the stock software, since I put debian on it as soon as I got it. But everything works properly with debian.
It does run a bit warm on the lap, since the fan is small, and the keyboard is also small and has a couple quirks in terms of key placement, but you get used to it. The touchpad works better than I expected, though I prefer to plug in a mouse. Wifi works exceptionally well, even with my university's peap authorization. It's faster than it has any right to be.
The disk space is small, but the sd card helps. My biggest problem was that I could not configure the machine to automatically mount the sd card where I wanted it in the filesystem; I had to allow it to mount the drive as /media/sdb1 and link from there. Suspend works, but still drains battery power to keep the ram alive; for overnight or longer off power you should shut it down instead. Hibernation does not work for me, since it would take up too much room to save the ram to swap space.
