ASUS Eee PC 901 20G (8.9" Display, 1.6 GHz Intel ATOM Processor, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB Solid State Drive, Linux, 6 Cell Battery) Fine EbonyCustomer Reviews
Got one for myself, another for my wife
This a great full featured laptop that you can always carry with you wherever you go. I am an IT guy and I love it - it has everything I need. When my wife saw this laptop, she had a very positive emotional reaction. The next day I caught her using :-) and loving it. She liked it so much (especially being able to carry it in her purse) that I decided to get her another (white) Eee. She now takes it everywhere she goes. She even got herself a bluetooth phone so that she can get online where no Wi-Fi networks are available.
One piece of advice to novice/first-time buyers - get a Linux version (Asus 901 20G). No worries about viruses (no need to install a slow and resource eating anti-virus/anti-everything software). The boot time of Linux version is truly amazing. Works right out of the box.
I have another friend who got it as well. He does a lot of blogging, browsing and email. He loves it. He switched from a Windows laptop and does not regret a thing.
Great and Portable
If you travel a lot and you have a desktop at home this is a great choise.
Just a week ago our family friends visited us, played with Eee PC and got two of them for their kids.
Of course, they are a few issues with the product, after all no product is ideal. The keyboard is a bit small, but after enough practice you will find yourself typing at normal speeds. The software that comes with it is not going to be enough for advanced users or developers (but there is Ubuntu EEE distro and other tweaks and kicks that you can install on EeePC free of charge ;-)).
This product is a leading laptop in the netbook family and I recommend it to anyone who wants a light-weight, always-with-you laptop.
Got this from Amazon whilst in the States on holiday. A great little machine that I have been tweaking since I got back home. Now runs Firefox 3 and the usual add-ons. BBC iPlayer works perfectly on this machine and in full screen as does YouTube. In effect, it is like having a media player for your lap especially when a good pair of headphones are plugged in.
The machine also works perfectly with a Vodafone Mobile Broadband "pebble" - a small program automatically opening up to facilitate connection which works perfectly. Wireless connection to my home network is problem free, I can load pics from my camera's SDHC card for upload to Flickr and I can connect my iPod Nano to it. Battery life is excellent. All I need now is a suitable cord for charging it from the car 12v power supply.
