20GB SSD is not true becarfule for everyone the SSD only 4GB and the other 16GB normal flash drive low speed and you can not install win xp on the 16GB it came slow and hang the system and when you install the win xp on the 4GB SSD it is working fine and speed is good but no space for any program so you can work with internet only withot widows update and antivirus
thank you

I got my 900 a few days ago through Amazon/DataVision, and have had trouble keeping my hands of it since.
Pros: Very portable; Takes a quick 25 seconds to boot; Clear screen with good resolution; Decent battery life--I got 3 hours, 20 minutes out of a charge running it in 30-minute increments over two days with the screen at about 50% brightness, which is bright enough, Wi-Fi running full blast, and goofing around with a couple of applications at the same time (i.e. internet radio running and reading pdf documents); Linux is super-easy to use--just have to get used to using tabs--takes about thirty seconds; I have experienced excellent Wi-Fi signal strength all over the house and yard---never less than 93%--I have 2200 square feet, two-story with a medium sized yard; Excellent track pad! ASUS got the track pad right--you can zoom in and out of pictures, single- or double-click, drag and drop, scroll up and down web pages, and even go back and forward to web pages (like clicking the back or forward arrows in your internet browser).
Cons: Super-long recharge times---it takes four hours to recharge the battery. Not great if you need a quick charge in an airport while on a layover. That's my only con right now
Recommend: Buy one and have fun! If I had to do it again, I would. I totally recommend this device. Check out http://forum.eeeuser.com before making changes or updates out of the box. I updated the BIOS, which is identified in the user manual, but several users say not to. Who knows? After the BIOS update, the unit works just fine.

This is it the second generation EEE PC. You should be glad that you waited and did not buy the first generation with the tiny screen. This version is awesome.
Nice larger readable screen, larger trackpad and more memory and storage space.
Linux runs wonderful and everything you need is included. Very nice !!
This is a perfect laptop for students, moms, travelers, everyone !! Buy it !!
Do the MATH! May 23, 2008

I've been waiting for years for a laptop like this one to come around and from the huge success of the first model I can see I was not alone. I didn't buy the first model because I wanted to hear how well this little laptop held up to daily use - plus the second generations of products usually fix most of the shortcomings of the first one.
Then the Eee Pc 900 came out.
At first I was one of those people that thought the 900 was way overpriced. I had decided that the 4G model for $399 was a much better deal...
and then I did the math!
After you spend 400 bucks on the 4G model (with web cam) the first thing you do is spend another $30 to get a 1G ram stick so you can upgrade the unit. (I've read that if you don't upgrade the ram videos are choppy sometimes). Next you spend another $80 to $125 to get a 16G SD card because the 4G supplied in the machine is worthless. When you are done you've spent around $500 and end up with a unit with pretty much the same specs as the 900 - only you still have a 7" screen and tiny trackpad. For me, the 900's bigger screen and trackpad are worth the extra 50 bucks!
I just got my 900 and I love it! I'm sticking with Linux I already own a laptop with XP and I don't plan on using my 900 as my main machine. Linux will do everything I need for travel.
The best laptop I've ever touched May 21, 2008

I just got this 900 Asus laptop and love everything about it.All the talk about the keyboard size is lame. After 30 minutes of typing I don't even notice the difference in size from a regular keyboard. Linux works great- especially after unlocking full desktop mode(which takes only a couple of minutes)It works much faster than my Dell laptop with windows on it that has twice the memory and faster processor. And like somebody mentioned above- I don't have to worry about viruses wiht linux( it's been known to have only 20 written viruses for the OS verses millions for windows)And I got almost 3 hours battery life on my first test drive, downloading music,listening to music and surfing the net at the same time.
I recommend it to anybody.
