 Asus eee laptop September 27, 2008

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.
Birthday Present for my Wife September 6, 2008

This product was a real hit with my wife. I got the EeePC for my wife as a present so she could practice her hobby, writing, without having to lug around the weight of a full laptop. I was initially a little concerned that the Linux interface would be uncomfortable for her as she normally uses a MS Windows laptop for work, however, I shouldn't have worried. This sub notebook is so simple to use, and easy to carry, that she hasn't let the thing out of her sight since I got it a few weeks ago. As for Microsoft's applications, she hasn't missed them one bit, and it doesn't hurt that the applications save your work in files which can be read by Microsoft office when you copy them off the EeePC.
Excellent purchase September 4, 2008

Using my Asus Eee PC is great. I like it for surfing the Internet and the pop up blocker is really worth it. I like the fact that only a website I allow can open a new window on my computer. Great! Also, The office programs are really nifty. I use the spreadsheet and word editor frequently. This laptop is easy to use in limited space making it easy to put away when not in use. It's very fast and in my case I use the built in wi-fi to connect my high speed connection really easily. The two USB ports are nice because later on I can upgrade to CD-RW for burning mp3's while the Monitor output will increase the viewable size connecting to my LCD TV. The Frozen bubble game is really fun. Finally, I appreciate this pc as being very affordable.
