Cute! Awesome little computer
I was so excited to get the ASUS, got mine in pink, only had it for about a month now. This thing is SO fast on the internet, amazing! I have had a few incidents where it simply would not connect to wireless, which was a huge problem when it was times I was trying to use it for work. It was a bit weird using the tiny keyboard at first, I have large hands for a woman, but got used to it pretty well. I was so amazed that I could plug in my flash drive, edit a Microsoft Word doc, and save it. That was awesome, seeing that the ASUS does not have MS Office! If you're going to be out and about, be sure you charge the battery to full before you go. I'm not yet sure what max battery time I get because the times I have taken it out, I had not checked to be sure it was fully charged. I also purchased the matching mouse through Amazon, but the company who sold it charged way too much for shipping/handling (my mistake for being the sucker to pay it) and they didn't deliver in the promised time frame. I think you can get the matching mouse at Best Buy--do that! Overall, if you're looking for a lightweight on-the-go computer for basic internet, email, etc. this is cute, fun, and functional!

Love it
Wow!! I cannot believe I was afraid of Linux. The computer is so simple to use, easy to carry and so convenient. My 7 year old figured it out in about 10 minutes. I am amazed at the size and haven't had any probelems with the size of the keyboard or mouse. Sometimes the size of the screen gets to me, I have to scroll around to see the full program, and then I realize that I can carry this in my purse and have it with me everywhere. I can live with a quick scroll. Rating:

Good Things Do Come in Small Packages!
This is not the pc if you want a standalone do everything PC. It is a PC that is built for the mobile traveler or business person. To get on the net fast and to maintain your personal or business contacts. My Asus PC has no problem accessing the free Wi-fi in my area. The Linux system is clean and very fast with very few crashes. Linux automatically recognizes sll of the USB add-ons that I have thrown at it and it boots up very fast. I am pleased with this lightweight and durable PC (Yes, I have dropped it a few times in its neoprene case and it still works!) I would recommend the Asus EEE PC at it's $399 price. Rating:

Very cool machine and software
This is a very cool backup laptop. This is my first experience with Linux and OpenOffice and I am very impressed. I have been able to open all types of MS files and I have been able to create all types of files on this machine I can open on my Windows machines. I am sure Microsoft hopes very few people learn the truth about the ease of use and compatability of the Linux-OpenOffice combination verses Windows-MS Office. The truth is that you can function nicely in a Windows world without MS products.
The only thing that would make this machine perfect is if I could figure out how to make my AT&T internet card work. This machine works great in hot spots, but I like the freedom of using the card from anywhere my phone works. I am sure there is an answer to this. I just need to work on it a little more. This machine works great with e-mail and surfing the web.
It is really cool to take this 1.2 pound machine on the road to do PowerPoint presentations. It helps cut the hassle of carrying the computer and projector down considerably.
Everytime I open this machine up folks start asking me questions. This is a true break-through in computing technology. I love it. |
