WONDERFUL

I really loved this computer! Everything I have always wanted. Keyboard was to small
to type on. If it had a standard keyboard, I would have kept it. Loaded with nice software,
automatically updated, wifi, no bluetooth, camera; etc, and good value. I just couldn't live
with the keyboard. If they ever do come out with a good keyboard, I will buy it again and
this time, keep it. Hated to send it back.

Fantastic When You Solve the (SMALL) Glitches

This is a purchase you'll love as long as you get by a few glitches. First, make SURE you buy on amazon, not a VAR. A few reviewers are complaining that they can't upgrade the RAM with the "better together" 2 gig card Amazon is offering. Here's how it's done: unscrew the two screws on the back of the ASUS (small panel). Older editions have a sticky tab you have to take off to expose the second screw: this was before ASUS recent decision to allow upgrades. Find the identical 512K RAM card you are replacing (some reviewers incorrectly said there was "no port" --all the units from Amazon have the 512, and the SODIMM is an UPGRADE, NOT an add! THERE IS NO SECOND PORT in this unit, you just unplug the 512 and plug in the 2 gig. Pull the two little white arms holding the original card to each side (right to right, left to left) and the original card will POP UP when freed. DO NOT try to unplug the old card with the arms holding it in, you'll break the little spring tensioned arms. It is very SIMPLE to unplug the 512, and plug in the 2 gig. On next boot, you'll see the system immediately recognized the new card (click the system icon). THESE INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT come with either the card OR the ASUS, so copy and paste them into a word document.
Second bitch/glitch: some reviewers are saying the can't access the web over a router. They are partly right. The built in wireless receiver requires reinitialization with each power up for some routers, like LinkSys. This is easy, just click the wireless icon, highlight, and click connect, and you're ready to go. WINDOWS IS A WASTE on this machine, as the Linux interface takes 4 minutes for a high school kid to learn, 10 minutes for an over 60 like me, but it is incredibly INTUITIVE AND EASY. Just click and go!
Everything else is AWESOME, and once you tire of the ooohs and aaahs, you can even check out the stars in your neighborhood with the built in planetarium. YES it does take broadband Verizon cards, and YES you need to use the USB, as there is no PC port. Just make sure Verizon is available in your area before committing to 60 bucks a month. It is also seamless with WIFI and every other protocol, and instantly presents a list of everything it's seeing.
IF YOUVE MESSED WITH POCKET PC'S BEFORE AND BEEN UNPLEASED, YOU WON'T BE WITH THIS LITTLE MONSTER. I play a lot of chess, and it crushes even the toughest algorithms. You will say "what?" on first boot, because the flash disk is so fast, it's ready before you put your coffee cup down.
AGAIN: BE SURE TO BUY ON AMAZON. Amazon won't like this but: this is a great little competitor for the Kindle, as it's got Wiki links on it, and with Sony's book software makes a great little reader, surfer, emailer... you name it...

Perfect device, for what it is.

I've had my Asus Eee 4G 701 for a couple months. The first thing I did with it is install Windows XP - since that is what I need to use. The Eee is a great travel PC, the tiny size and weight are amazing. For the price of this unit, it's limitations are very acceptable. You want to know what you are getting going in, so let me make one thing clear. The screen is small. My eyesight is 20/20, so this doesn't bother me. Other people have asked me how could I read the stuff on the screen. If you're eyesight isn't good - pass this up. Also, you can't just endlessly load stuff on the Eee, storage is a bit tighter than the average PC. With a 4GB solid state drive, I have Win XP, slimmed down with nLite, and Outlook, Word, Excel and Powerpoint from Office 2000 taking up half of the 4GB space. I also installed a 2GB RAM upgrade and a 16GB SDHC card in the unit's card reader. The SDHC card fits in flush, not sticking out - so leaving it in place as an additional storage drive is a no brainer. There is a wealth of info available at www.eeeuser.com

The Eee is now getting some competition. The Everex Cloudbook is a far inferior unit, but the new HP 2133 looks like it might be quite good. Others are supposed to release this year too.

Great product for certain uses

I'm a CS student in college and I've found that this is an excellent little notebook to tote around and work with between classes. It also serves the dual purpose of being wonderful for note taking. The small keyboard was of concern to me when I first ordered it, but I quickly found myself adjusting to it and now it is hardly noticeable, although it is difficult to type on without light.

As said in my title this product is not for everyone. Don't expect to get a full fledge computer that will replace your current desktop or even normal laptop. That being said I love mine and it works perfectly in the role that I got it for.

A Handy Computer That Is Easy To Use

I just received my Asus Eee Pc 7" computer a few days ago.
I was worried that it might be too small or too complicated
to use since I'm not computer saavy. Have no fear! This computer
is very easy to use. I have small hands and the keyboard fits my
hands very well. I don't think a man or woman with large hands would
feel comfortable with it. Mine came preloaded with Linux and I haven't
had any problems learning it. This computer truly does what it says in
the description and is easy to learn, easy to use and at 7" and 2lbs,
easy to carry in your purse or pocket. I wish I had bought this computer
a long time ago.
