Amazon.com Product Description
Get the power of a full-sized laptop in the ultra-compact ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf, which offers a full QWERTY keyboard, 7-inch screen, and preinstalled Linux operating system. (This laptop is also compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.) You'll be able to stay connected to email and the Internet easily thanks to the Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g). Because it uses flash memory instead of a hard drive (with 2 GB of storage), the Eee PC is optimal for weathering rough handling and sharing space in overstuffed bags. This 2 GB Surf model does not include an integrated Webcam. p table align="right" width="300" cellpadding="5" tr td img border="0" img src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/eeePC-2G-hand.jpg" border=0 align=topbrsmallbrbiWith a rapid start-up time, the Eee PC is always ready to get into action./i/b /small/td/tr tr td img border="0" img src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/eeePC-2G-colors.jpg" border=0 align=topbrsmallbrbiThe 2G Surf comes in a number of colors: blush pink, galaxy black, sky blue, and lush green./i/b /small/td/tr /table For the students and professionals, the Eee PC comes with a powerful selection of software to maximize personal productivity--over 40 built-in applications.

 OK for the Price June 30, 2009
YouTubeCommercial.net (Orlando, Florida)
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
Seg Arch (Philadelphia, PA USA)
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.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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).
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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.
 Everything I ever wanted in a notebook January 8, 2009
Z. Pham (Corona, CA United States)
I have the ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf. While my husband chides me because I could have bought a larger notebook for just a little more, that wasn't why I bought my eeepc. I wanted little, I wanted portable, I wanted durable, I wanted to surf the internet. And all those features are realized in this tiny little computer.
br /
br /SIZE
br /
br /That is one comment I get from everyone, "That's the smallest notebook I've ever seen!" It really is small, under 9" x 6 ¼ x 1 ½". It fits in my purse and I can take it anywhere.
br /
br /I don't find the smaller a keyboard a problem at all. Of course, I am a woman with long, slender fingers. Perhaps a person with larger hands would find difficulty.
br /
br /DURABILITY
br /
br /This little thing goes in my purse and it's been dropped, but nothing ever broke and no data has been lost. The flash drive feature helps, as I'm not worried about breaking a delicate hard drive.
br /
br /WEB SURFING
br /
br /It's easy to get a WIFI connection when one is available. Once the network connection is established, reconnecting is easy. All the information and passwords are stored. Just select the network and click "connect." I found the WIFI works very well, and surfing speed is quick, but I wanted internet everywhere, so I got a Sprint Airbus 595U.
br /
br /Setting up the 595U was a bear. I don't know Xandros, the operating system that came installed. It took me three whole days of surfing the internet to find instructions, trial and error through which I thought I might just mess everything up so badly I'd need to reinstall everything from scratch -- until I finally found someone who posted step-by-step instructions for installing this thing (bless him, but I can't remember where I found the instructions). Now that it's set up, I can connect quickly and easily.
br /
br /The computer comes with Firefox, which I found easy to use. I installed Glubble so that my children could surf safely. I highly recommend Glubble to anyone giving this to their kids.
br /
br /EMAIL
br /
br /There is no email client built in, but I was able to get Thunderbird working by browsing the internet. It's under the "work" tab and not the "internet" tab, so not as convenient as it could be, but I'm happy with Thunderbird.
br /
br /BATTERY LIFE
br /
br /I've watched entire tv episodes via my 595U connection on one charge. Impressive. It lasts up to 2 hours, sometimes less, depending on what I'm doing.
br /
br /SUMMARY
br /
br /Once I got it configured just so, this computer is everything I wanted it to be. My kids use it more than I do, and I bring it with me whenever I need a computer or I know my kids will be waiting somewhere for a long time (i.e., doctor's office or sibling's activity) and will be bored. It's a terrific buy.
easy to use and light to carry when your on the road or travelling. Also sturdy and perfect as a first laptop. January 6, 2009
M. Fico (NY, USA)
Bought for my sister for xmas, excellent laptop for her since it is so small and easy to just throw into your bag. She uses it for the internet and to play her iPod music. It is so easy and very durable when using. I would definitely tell anyway who needs a small laptop or an additional one for on the road to get the Asus eee PC.
