Excellent Cheap Netbook
I have been using this computer for a little over a month and I'm pretty happy with it. I recommend running more than one operating system on it to see what you like. I currently am running XP Pro and Ubuntu-EEE Linux on it. Windows XP runs real sluggish unless you tweak it which requires some knowledge of computers. I am really impressed with Ubuntu-EEE though as it does almost everything I need, runs faster than XP on it, and looks better than Vista. This is by no means a desktop replacement though and you need to know that going into this. For $350 you really can't find a better deal. I run Streets and Trips on XP with a bluetooth GPS receiver I bought and it works great. This computer does not have bluetooth built in but you can pick up a USB dongle for $8.00 if you look. All in all, I am happy with my purchase and happy that there are so many specific accessories and forums for this computer which have tutorials on how to do anything and everything with these machines.

Great Little Laptop!
Talk about portability...this Asus Eee PC 900 is a fantastic deal for the low price. The display has increased from 7" on the Asus 700 to 8.9" for this model, and it only weighs about 3 ounces more than the original model. I had never used Linux, but find it to be much faster than Windows, but with the 900 PC you can add Windows XP if you are addicted to that OS. If you travel a lot like I do, it is great to be able to check and write your email anywhere you are. I was out of the country for six weeks and spent nearly $200 at internet cafes, but that is now a thing of the past. It came with a nice little carrying case to keep it from getting all banged up in my carry-on. Once you get used to the small keyboard, it is a breeze.P.S.---I'm adding 1/2 a star to my rating!

Awesome little internet machine
I received this little wonder on Thursday and am in love with it. It is perfect for email and internet browsing. Pretty slick for ebooks too, which is something I had not considered.
I think the best thing about it is that it contains no Microsoft products. I had forgotten the shear joy of having true control over a computer, like it was pre-windows, and am seeing the pure beauty of Linux.
The only bad thing I can add is that Amazon does not tell you that the eee comes with a nice sleeve in the box so I did not have to order the $20 one, which I will be sending back.
You can't beat the price on this thing so I highly recommend that you buy it!
regards,
Steve

I Love My Eee!
The Asus Eee PC has been exactly what I intended it to be. It's a breeze to set up, and very easy to use. The main function that I use it for is Internet browsing on the go. It is so simple to throw it in my bag and take it along with me so that I have access to the Internet at coffee shops and hotels no matter where I travel to.
It's not meant to be a fully-functioning PC, so if that is what you are looking for then look somewhere else. However, if you need a surprisingly versatile little machine that enables you to travel lightly and still have access to the Internet, then this is the buy for you!
The Eee PC is affordable, durable, and easy to use. I looked at some of the other options, but ended up choosing this one. I don't regret it at all. Btw, the Linux model is the way to go. Why pay more for Windows when you have so much functionality built into the Linux model for free?
Thank you Asus!
