unbelivable computer for the price!

For the price the 2g surf model is unbelievable. I am a "techie" Grandma that builds her own desktops and teaches basic computer skills to others. Besides being drawn by the size (my daughter a college student) finds her 15" laptop too heavy for school and work travel, I wanted to try out the free Linux OS. Most of my "students" have very little cash resources and when I can piece together a system it almost always needs an OS. This system and Linux is remarkable. I bought mine 2 months ago. Since I have "classes" on the go I really, really like the size and weight. I routinely transport 2 15" laptops and just slide this one in a side pocket of my computer case. Some of my "students" have had no other computer experience at all and have a very difficult time with windows. The Linux OS is so much easier for them to start with, understand and use. It fits in my purse and goes everywhere with me. When I have been away from home I have had no problems connecting wirelessly at coffeehouses, restaurants,hotels or at any other hot spots. The SD card memory works very well and I have a portable DVD drive for home use and watching movies. It also connects to video over the internet for TV/movie viewing although this one is a little jerky sometimes, for streaming but it is remarkable for such a small inexpensive computer(and only 512 ram) that it is watchable at all. The open office works very well and is a terrific alternative for the much more expensive products. My daughter will probably get one of the larger models so the college software will run on xp, and I am going to get another one soon a 900 model or more in size, more ram and a larger hard drive are almost all you can do to improve this little miracle machine. When I want a larger keyboard I might bring out a wireless one and mouse but so far after a little bit of use I haven't had any problem adapting to the smaller keyboard and the compactness and convenience is well worth it. I could lug around one of my 14" or 15" laptops during the day but why do that when you have one of these for "on the go computing". The only con is I did have to order separately a larger battery for longer life and everyone I know keeps trying to take my 2G surf including, my 2 year old granddaughter who has already fallen in love with the "bubble" game. She seems to feel it should be her's because she says "my size puter". In conclusion if you want a larger keyboard or whatever buy a larger computer, this one is a terrific small computer which is exactly what it was made to be.

Small, convenient great for the kids

Although it's just a little slow compared to our main pc and laptop, it's convenience outweighs this factor. It's great for the kids to surf the web, pick up emails, do research for school, and even write their reports. It's compact size makes it nice to have out on the counter in the kitchen, relax in the family room with, or throw in a bag for traveling.

Birthday Present for my Wife

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

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.

Surpassed expectations

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.
