 It's small, it's fast enough and gosh, it's darn cute October 3, 2008

I bought this little thing because I was headed to Europe for a little vacation and I had just enrolled in an online course. I wanted light weight and small and at just about 2lbs it fit very nicely in my backpack. I wanted something that started up quickly (average time so far is just 26 seconds plus another 15 to find and connect to wireless) so I was happy to have it running Linux. It really works well (so far) in fact now that I am home it sits on the kitchen counter so I can log on with my first cup of coffee and get my email.
Are there any dislikes? It does get a little warm and the keyboard is small but I don't touch type very fast anyway so no problem. I attached a mini USB mouse and that really helps as the touch pad is small too (although big enough, really). I even watched a movie I had loaded on my USB thumb drive and it was great!. So if you want a second computer to just have available whenever, its a good solution.

I had to return the first PC because it quit working. The second one had more packing material and seals. It makes me wonder if the first one was used.

I find the keyboard for this computer very intractable - not to mention too small to ever use the home keys. But even after I "hunt and peck" type a line, I have to go back and fill in many letters. I thought at first it was just my problem but others who have used it say the same thing. There is an adjustment for "keypad touch" in the computer's settings but not for "keyboard touch" so I don't see a solution. There must be something wrong with my specific computer because I have not noticed anyone else mentioning it in a review; therefore, it must not be a general design flaw. I also notice that if I do not use it on AC power, the battery just drains almost immediately as I am e-mailing. Had I to do it over again, I would not purchase this computer. I got it just for e-mailing while I'm traveling but it's so time consuming because of the difficulty with the keyboard that my travel companions chose to PAY to use the computers in the lobby of the hotels rather than use mine FREE. I don't think I will take it with me again so I'm stuck with a $300 purchase that I do not want.

First of all let me say that I brought this EEEPC 2GB for writing purposes as I am a writer and I wanted something small to carry around instead of carrying my bigger laptop everywhere. I love the size, and I brought outside storage for it to be able to carry info to both my main laptop and this one.
My complaint is that it won't get on the internet, which in my case it is not really that big of a deal for what I want to use it for, but if you are buying a EEEPC FOR INTERNET, I would say this is not the one to buy. After purchase I tried to contact the company for support, not very supportive nor seem to stand behind the product, getting through to a live person is extremely hard and may take a few hours and several attempts. Still won't get me on the internet.
I felt it important to notify others who may be thinking of purchasing one of these little seemingly dream machines simply to let others know of this situation.
If you don't care about the internet then it is a dream to take along for writing like I do. Very portable and easy to access the programs in the PC which is Open Office, very easy to use so simple even a child can use it.
As for me I will use it for what I brought it for, but will be looking for something better so that I can write and also have the internet if I desire.

I was pleased with the performance of this little wonder. First thing I did was increase the RAM to 2 GB and have never looked back. As the owner of several group homes, I keep the medical records of each resident on this machine (password protected) which beats the alternative of carrying their medical folders with me for doctors visits. The only shortcoming I have found is the touch pad is to sensitive for my heavy hand, but using a small mouse solved that problem instantly. And during those long waits for the doctor the resident and I can watch movies saved to a 16 GB DS Card, LOL The screen is large enough to read and having a wireless built-in is fantastic. I am looking to buy the newer model with 16GB and windows in the near future.
