ASUS review November 1, 2009
F. Villagomez (West Covina, CA)
I"m a classroom teacher and I wanted to try it out in my class.
My students love it. It's just their size. The games on it are great and it has the word processing that I want my students to be able to do.
 simply convenient July 5, 2009

i'm actually on my cute lil asus now, and it's really great to just carry around. i do have my dislikes though, which are pretty much the same complaints as everyone else's. like the keys are pretty small, even for me, and i have teenie fingers, lol [size 5 ring size, lol!].
i also have issues with the games sometimes. like the solitaire games will SOMETIMES tell me if there is no chance of winning. and the frozen bubble SOMETIMES doesn't play the music all static-y. and the penguin racer is fine... it's just nearly impossible to beat, and i think that's why i hate it, lol. potato guy is pointless, unless my 2 year old niece wants a giggle:)
also the screen size can be irritating, because you pretty much have to scroll online for everything.
pretty much though, i love it for it's cute color [i got pink!] and the convenience of online usage and game fun. i'd recommend this to anyone who isn't a computer nerd and needs it for anything but the internet.
OK for the Price June 30, 2009

The Eee 2G Surf is very cute and can get on the internet without a problem, You won't be able to play any Pogo games on it and the DIVX movies are a little jurky, I found expanding the movie screen to full screen got the video and audio out of sinc and drove me crazy but leaving it and just expanding the player was best.
 Works okay. Wouldn't recommend it though. June 17, 2009

Yes its a 300 dollar laptop. But the experience sucks. What you save in cash you pay for in frustration. Painfully slow. Tiny screen. Awful linux interface. Tiny postage stamp of a mouse pad. Keys that trip you up and cause you to delete whole sentences in a single slip (thank god for undo). Unimpressive battery life leaves you tethered to an outlet.
A year ago I bought this computer to write with, and my experience with it has taught me the value of not skimping on things like screen size, keyboard size, and mousepad size. It's not really feasible to reread your work on a monitor this size, and editing is so key for improving your writing. Forget web surfing. And if anything goes wrong, good luck fixing it, linux is still for techies, and completely unapologetic for the non technical crowd. Installing software feels like you're hacking the system.
Yes I still use this thing, so it can't be that bad. It IS light, you won't even notice it in your backpack. It's a nice color. It is relatively stable (but when it crashes it goes down hard).
When it works, it connects to the internet reasonably fast, and I can use google docs to write stories. But its painful to use this thing. Writing is hard enough.
As soon as a I can, I'm going to sell this thing, sell my imac, and get a macbook pro.
 Can't Use It and Amazon Won't Let Me Sell It April 3, 2009

I bought this nearly a year ago, figuring something small and portable might be useful for taking notes and jotting down ideas when travelling. Unfortunately the keyboard is much too small. I kept trying to work around but finally gave up. Only to discover Amazon won't let me sell it used on Amazon. Apparently they only let "specially approved" dealers sell some things. So Don't Buy It If You Are Not Sure You Will Want To Keep It. Some things like the small keyboard are not obvious from the web - borrow someone else's or buy it from someone with an extended return policy.
