 Depends what you are going to use it for! November 24, 2008
It may sound obvious but your happiness with the Asus eeePC is likely to depend on why you want it and how you are going to use it.
I run my own company and travel a lot - so I need to keep in touch with customers. I used to carry a full size laptop - but the weight! (Have you noticed none of the product specs include the power 'brick' weight?) Now with my eeePC it is a dream - the weight/battery life ratio is brilliant and it is dead easy to pick up an Internet connection almost everywhere. My main use apart from web access is to use LogMeIn to access my office systems and get at Outlook for email, customer records and business applications such as ACT! on the office system so I don't need a lot of disk memory and the lack of a CD isn't an issue. When I'm back home, the eeePC makes a great Internet radio plugged into the hi-fi.
However, if this was going to be my only PC, the keyboard, screen size, lack of a CD would big negatives - and I'd look elsewhere and pick up a low cost standard laptop.
Excellent for normal use November 10, 2008

I am I suspect the same as many people, all I do is a bit of net surfing, and do the occasional letter or spreadsheet. I have had one of these for about 3 months now with no problems what so ever. The battery life is excellent 5-6 hours, and it starts really quickly. The internet runs fine, and I have no issues with the screen size, in fact I dont even notice it even though when at work I use a standard size 13 inch screen all day. It comes with basic word and excel loaded, so as long as you dont need to do anything over complex it is fine. I know the memory is small, but I have a USB Memory stick just in case, but also I dont really need to load anything onto this. It is perfect for taking around with you and using on the move.
Wouldn't be without it October 23, 2008

Easy to use, put an extra gb of ram in, fast as anything for everything on the net (google chrome makes the most of the small screen).
Not ideal for excel, i find that i need to see more cells than is possible on the eee.
Have bought an external dvd and look forward to working on my way to meetings watching dvds on my way back. (i am confident that if charged i will be able to watch a dvd and have battery spare which always helps).
Definitely the best laptop i have owned.

 Beware delicate screen ! September 11, 2008
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
I had one of these on trial from work and I loved it, however, while it was open on the desk I tried to move it by getting hold of the top corner of the casing; the heel of my hand was resting on the edge of the screen and it cracked ! I absolutely did not have hold of it tightly or anything, so although its innards maybe shockproof, its screen is a bit delicate.
Otherwise liked it very much (and I'm not a gadgety person at all).
Great, but not perfect September 2, 2008

So I am typing this on my new eee pc. It is fantastic - about 5hrs battery life, light as anything, it comes with me everywhere. It is not for long term use though - the screen hurts your eyes, the keyboard feels cheap and is unresponsive and the touchpad is rather fiddly. Also the storage space is annoyingly partitioned into a 4gb and an 8gb drive which means that windows update often fails due to lack of space. In actual fact I am planning on buying an external hard disk, which then adds to the weight/size. Hrm.
On the plus side, it is very nifty for the internet, and the fact that it is so small and light does mean I almost always have it with me. It is fantastic for catching up on emails or paperwork whilst sat at your favourite cafe, and it alwys gets attention - everyone is envious! So all in all I love it, and am very glad I made the purchase. Highly recommended, but be aware of its limitations - it is not the right choice for everyone.
Hope this helps!
