 Basically ideal. February 5, 2008

The Eee answers a plea I've made to the universe for the last 10 years: why can't anyone make a half-sized laptop that has half as many bells and whistles, for half the price?
Awesome little laptop. February 4, 2008

I purchased the Asus Eee laptop from amazon about two weeks ago and have been using it on a daily basis. Now understand that I am not an expert in computers and have never used Linux before. After powering up this little thing, I was able to be on the web and use many of its programs in no time. I have played some of the games that are included and created documents with Open Office. I have both a PC and a Mac, and this is just as good in my opinion. It is very user friendly and very intuitive. I have not yet loaded Windows XP and am not sure if I ever will becasue it is such a great computer with what it has. I will be using the Eee mostly to go on the web and do email, as well as traveling with it since it such a small and light laptop. I have also downloaded some pictures and music and found that it was quite simple to do. The built-in camera is a great added feature too. The only thing that has taken a little getting used to is the key board since it is so small, but just after using it for a couple of days, it is now second nature for me...in fact I am typing on it from a Wifi hotspot in Miami Shores, Florida. I have also received lots of positive feedback from friends and total strangers alike. Everyone is amazed how well it works, and not to mention its size! Overall, I really think this is probably one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon. The price cannot be beat, the size and weight of the Eee is something to marvel at, and it actually works as well as advertised. This is a fun and great little machine! Asus hit a homerun with this one.
Not Only for Kids, But Also for Business Travelers January 25, 2008

I bought it for my daughter's gift, but surprisingly it's perfect for my business travel. Why? It's very, very fast. Thanks to Linux OS, starting up takes just only 10-15 seconds, shutting down takes only a second! Firefox web browser is great, it's much better than IE in terms of stability. OpenOffice is comparable to Microsoft office, so you can read and write Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. OWA (Outlook Web Access) works well, so you can access to office mailbox. Skype also works well, so you can easily do video conference. For kids, there are many pre-installed educational software, it's easy to use and fun. Easy to bring, durable, and super value. I can't believe it's only $399! It enough for me. iPhone? there's no keyboard. MacBook Air? it's super expensive. Windows PC? so many problems (slow, freeze, security issue.) I believe ASUS Eee PC is REVOLUTION. I don't need Apple, Microsoft, and Dell. PC eco-system is changing. Try it. Believe me.
 Good concept January 23, 2008

So far experience with it has been pretty good. We kept it Linux. It reads shared dirs ok. Everything works fine and it's relatively quick. Only glitch so far is it self set the trackpad to the lowest sensitivity and it was not easy to reset it.
Trick now is will ASUS follow through and support the product.
Needs much more RAM; both as a HD and for RAM.
I love this thing January 20, 2008

I have a full sized laptop that is not really a laptop at all. It is a full fledged desk computer that I move with it's power brick from one desk to another. It will do a lot and hold a lot but with a short battery life it is not really portable. The eee is what I have been looking for and didn't know it. It is small, truly portable and does what I want. I check and write email. I surf the web and I create office documents. The eee does all of this and I don't feel like I have to treat it like a baby -- with an expensive case and a bag of support supplies.
I thought I would have trouble with the small keyboard, but after a short learning curve to figure out the way to hold your hands it works just fine. It worked great out of the box. I installed the full desktop but don't even bother with it any more. The easy linux desktop covers everything I need.
In the past I have been overimpressed with storage. My old laptop has a big ole hard drive that is mostly empty. With flash drives and all the options for data storage these days, I see no need to have it all in my computer. The eee, with its small storage (and no hard drive) works just fine.
I love this thing.
