 - Great basic setup and super portabilityThis little PC is super light easy to transport. The keyboard takes a little getting used to for touch typing, but once you get the hang of it it's not too bad. The preloaded Linux OS comes with enough to perform all of the basic necessary tasks including browsing the web with feature rich content including Flash animation. It also has all of the standard Linux utilities to enable whatever level of customization that is desired within the hard disk size constraints. The default desktop is easy to navigate as well even for a computer novice. The wireless works great, I average about 650' (with non-metallic obstructions) from the wireless source with a decent connection. It picked up the nearby networks just fine and connected easily. For the price this is definitely a great little PC for kids or even people that are really on the go and don't want the hassle of larger lap tops. Rating: - The best everOMG this is the best thing I've bought in a long time. I love it! Rating: - Cool pcIt's lightweigth, it's really fast, good sound, good video playback, with little keyboard (maybe u will need an external one, i use one), long battery life. Really good option for mobile work. The hard part is the hard disk format and installation of XP. I follow the guide, but i must enter to some web forums to find solutions. The first thing that i had to do was restore the linux installation and hard disk. after that the windows installation did finish (previously it shut down without finish it). After that all was rigth. Enjoy it. Rating: - Just right for travelLove my Asus! Got the 4G in white. I travel once a month for business or vacation. I use the Asus for simple tasks like checking email, surfing, and light viewing/editing of MS documents. So much easier than lugging my 10+ lb work computer that I have to protect with my life. I can just drop the Asus into my purse for easy access when traveling. Turn on the Asus, and it's ready to go out of the box. No problems connecting to the Internet or viewing/editing MS documents. Screen could be bigger; speakers take up space. Keyboard is hard for my small hands to use. No way to easily play DVDs on the plane. I'm just waiting for the next generations that have all of the above for under $500. For now, this 4G is awesome! Rating: - More Functional Than You ThinkI bought this eee PC right here, from Amazon. I am an entrepreneur, a writer, a slight computer geek. I also have an extreme need to have portable items; I refused to purchase a laptop for a long time because I couldn't afford the level of technology that I wanted and I couldn't find something portable enough. However, this purchase is one of the smartest I have made concerning technology in a long, long time. The only drawback I saw coming was the lack of a cd drive...it has not mattered because any necessary software can be downloaded...or you can simply use an external drive. I also read many complaints that the wi-fi was difficult to use. I found it flawlessly simplistic. The included programs are more than enough for personal, school (I am also a college student working on my accounting degree), and business use. The linux operating system is convenient, and especially important is the absence of the multitudinous Microsoft errors and issues. I would recommend this product to anyone seeking a truly portable computer.
