However, this pc needs an exteral DVD-rom.
Also, the mouse pad is too sensitive.

Summary: Only issue is the OS
Comment: I love this little computer. I use it for everything; it's great for school. The only issue that I've had with it was the operating system. It came with Xandros pre-installed, but it is incredibly oversimplified and the icons tend to disappear on you. However, I easily fixed this by installing Ubuntu-Eee, replacing the old OS. Now everything works perfectly! For more on Ubuntu-Eee, [...]

Summary: Quirky but great
Comment: When I received the computer with Xandros, the first thing I did was plug in my external drive and install Windows XP Pro with nLite to make the installation smaller and slipstream the drivers into the install to speed things up a bit. With XP Pro running, the computer boots up in around 30 seconds, and nearly instantly if on standby. It runs decently fast with a few programs open, but bogs down on heavily java scripted pages and running video, but only so much can be expected of a ultra low voltage processor. I have been reliably getting 6 hours of battery life with Wi-fi, full brightness and the processor set on high. If I put the processor on power saving and lower the brightness, I did get 10 hours on a charge. This really is a great laptop for work and internet surfing. This has entirely replaced all of my other computers, except for one that I use solely as a DVR. Overall a great product and I recommend it to every one. A word of warning though, Xandros is terrible, and if you don't want to spend for a licensed copy of XP, I would recommend checking out the other Linux releases that have driver support, such as Debian.

Summary: Great Linux Ultra Portable
Comment: I have had my eee for about a month now and really love it. The screen looks absolutely great. Native resolution is 1024x600, which is more than adequate for most stuff. The built in speakers are also surprisingly good. MP4 movies and MP3s play and sound great on this little guy. The keyboard is a reasonable size and very workable compared to the earlier versions of the eee. Network connectivity is good. It seems to connect to most Wifi hotspots very well. Although, it is slow making the initial connection. The power brick is also very lightweight which is a nice surprise. It comes with 1 Gig of Ram which should be more than adequate for most people. I upgraded to 2 gig with no issues. Also, the hard drive is solid state, no moving parts.
The OS uses Xandros Linux which is a Debian variant. The User Interface is not customizable unless you know a little bit about Linux or are willing to learn. If you do know a little about Linux, its pretty easy to tweak. All the tools you need for a traveling NetBook are there. Firefox 2.x, Thunderbird 2.x, Skype, Open Office 2.x, Terminal/Shell, File Manager, a media player (MP4 movies play great), and MP3 Player. The MP3 player has a funky UI, but it works with my iTunes library just fine. I just had to copy the files over and put them in the eee's music folder.
Only a few negatives that I have run across. The fan seems to run a lot which is kind of odd since it has a solid state drive. The right shift key is very small and on the wrong side of the arrow key. This messes up touch typists. Inserting or removing USB devices while the NetBook is on may cause it to lock up. It works find with USB Drives and Mice as long as they are connected with the machine powered off.
If you want a nice travel NetBook for light duty work, some e-mails, some blogging, a little surfing, movies and MP3s, this machine is great. And its only $1200 less than a MacBook Air.
