Great Item but problem recognizing network print server

I concur that this is a great little machine; however, I have been unable to get the Eee to recognize my printer which is connected to a Linkys router via a Buffalo LPV3 print server. I have called both ASUS and Buffalo and both have been absolutely no help. I have also looked at many "help" sites on the WWW, including the ASUS help site and have found nothing that even begins to address this issue. The machine may go back as I really have no desire to attach a printer or use a printer through my "main" computer.

Capable and Fun!

I already own a full-size laptop and was tired of lugging it around everywhere for business and personal use. I was looking for something on a smaller scale that could still perform the basic tasks that I required. Well, the Asus Eee PC fits the bill perfectly! It's compact, lightweight, but is still capable of meeting all of my requirements while on the road. It has built-in wireless-- which is a must-- and a video output so that I could still show power-point presentations. It also comes with a nifty built-in camera and the battery life, at 2.5 hours, is outstanding. The keyboard, obviously, is quite small-- you won't be writing any theses on it but, then again, that's not what the system is designed for. It's basically your PC on-the-go without the heavy baggage. It's available with either a scaled-down Windows system or, as I chose, the Linux system, complete with Open Office to run all of my word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation needs. It comes with 512 MB Ram standard, but I ordered a 2 GIG memory chip to go with it that was simple to install. I now find myself taking my Eee PC with me everywhere-- on the road, in the office, at home relaxing. It's great!

If you need something mobile, cheap, and versatile

I've been using the 4G Black eee PC for about a month now. Initially, I had a lot of concerns about the size of the monitor and the keyboard, but I'm glad to say that all of these concerns have been relieved! If you have large hands, please don't get this laptop; the keys are small, but for average sized hands, you will probably get used to the size rather quickly. Furthermore, the keyboard has a nice amount of spring to it.

I've been very pleased with this purchase. The laptop is extremely small and is about the size of a thick planner. Bootup takes only a few seconds. Furthermore, the eee is extremely functional. I haven't had any problems or felt any limitations with web-browsing, using openoffice programs, running email client, using Skype; there are a good set of programs already on the machine, but with the eee forums available, you can pretty much install whatever you may need. One feature that I've been particularly taking advantage of is the ability to resize the windows of programs to exceed the area bound by the monitor and then to move the window around by holding alt and dragging the window with the mouse. The speakers on the eee are surprisingly good.

I have noticed some minor things that I wish would be remedied. First, charging the battery is extremely slow. Second, placing the computer on standby is completely not worth the power trade-off; the machine consumes too much of the battery during standby (although with the fast bootup, this really isn't a big deal). Third, the touchpad can be unresponsive at times. Also, it can be too small at times. But this can be easily fixed with a separate mouse.

Asus EEE PC in PInk!

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R112FH3XLQ5RHK In my video you can see me blabbing about the programs and looks of the Asus EEE PC and whatnot.. but here is my Written Review. I had posted some photos of it above if you look under view more pics also. It is thinner and slightly smaller in size than my Portable SOny DVD player with the 7" Wide screen. It takes up very little space. Because of this I kept thinking that the Asus EEE PC may be hard for me to see, especially consider I have a slight vision issue. I mean Watching my DVD player too long strains my eyes, same with using my 19" widescreen laptop. Everything is so tiny and such a strain after a while.. but as you can see in my video, because I show you.. Everything is set up so clear on the linux GUI that its as easy to see as a giant dish of your favorite food right infront of your face would be. I am very happy with this mini computer. I got it knowing it was only for typing, email, and internet. I also am very happy with the Linux system that came with it. Im sure if i got windows I would have a issue seeing everything. No complaints.. 5 stars!! not to mention it's pink! Hope my video helps and if you have any questions.. click comment below!

Little Wonder!!

This is a review of the Eee PC 4G, black with Linux.

I am very happy with this computer! It is small, but the screen is very nice despite my concern regarding the 800x480 resolution. The size is just fine, and I have little hands, so they fit the keyboard without a problem. It has just what I need - word processing and web access! Not at all my main computer, but one that I can carry with me and write where ever I am. I highly recommend!!

I also purchased 1 Gig of memory to replace the 512 that comes with the machine - I got the Crucial 1 GB DDR2-667 Sodimm. Installation was easy (I did it before turning on the machine for the first time) and was recognized without a problem. I saw no reason to get the 2 Gig that Amazon offers with this computer after I learned I would have to do some significant Linux coding to reconfigure the Linux kernel to allow for reconization of the entire 2 Gig. It works just fine with a Gig!

Start up is about 20 seconds, and shut down is about 10 seconds. A delightful change from my old X-41 that has a start up time of 9 to 15 minutes and a shut down time of 5 minutes!

I spent quite a while researching this computer as well as the eee pc 900 and hp 2133, but decided on this one based on reading numerous reviews. I am very pleased with my decision.
