 Simple computer for the road August 29, 2008
If you need a computer that is easy on your shoulders (and wallet) to check email, surf the web and do some light work with an Microsoft Office equivalent, this is the laptop for you. I upgraded the on board RAM to 2 Gb and added a 16 Gb SD card for extra storage, thus the 4Gb SSD is not a limiting factor. The battery could last a bit longer (about 2 hours with WiFi on and not too heavy web surfing). Windows user will not have any trouble adapting to the Easy Mode of the particular Linux distribution that comes with it, and it is fully functional out of the box, as all basic software comes pre-installed. The only problems are the small form factor, so if one plan to use it for extended period of times or as primary computer one would probably want to hook it to external monitor, mouse and keyboard, and the recovery DVD disk (included). It could not generate a functional bootable USB disk to restore factory installed software after a botched operational system upgrade. I could only make my Eee-PC work again after hooking an external USB DVD drive and booting directly from the recovery DVD.
 Easy to get hot, no tech support August 17, 2008

It gets hot in a few minutes, and sometimes have problem with the internal card reader. Emailed tech support twice. No response. The company can fire the tech support and reduce the price of the pc. For the same price, I'd buy a normal laptop which is much more powerful.
 Everything I expected it to be... August 12, 2008
I now have had this pc for a month now and I am really enjoying. I was able to do quite a bit of research before my purchase, so I knew going in what to expect. It is really fast. Connecting to the internet and surfing is very good. I have gotten used to the typing and can now touch type. I will be doing a lot of traveling and the size of it (or lack thereof) is incredible. Until you get your hands on one, it is hard to describe how small it really is. One word of caution is that some USB connection appliances may not work/connect. I was not able to connect my Sony camera. But, I have connected mouse, flash drives, usb drives and they all are picked up quickly by the pc. Overall, a great mini-computer for those who will not rely on it too heavily...internet, email, documents...and for a traveler is perfect.

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.
