5 of 5 Perfectly mobile and versitile Friday, June 13, 2008
Ryan from Boise, ID  

Since I began college I have enjoyed small compact computers, the EePC 900 is replacing my older IBM x40. I loved my x40 for how small and light it was with easily enough power to handle notes, online research, and reports. The EePC picks up where the x40 left off, ultra compact, very light and dependable. I have been using it for a couple weeks now, the battery life is quite long (around 3 hours), the Eee is perfect for me. Only cons might be for people with larger fingers, they may have issues with the smaller keyboard. Outside of keyboard size, I have not found anything I dislike.

4 of 5 A good machine for travel Tuesday, June 03, 2008
gene from Ventura Co., CA  
This computer is small enough for travel, but capable enough to meet my requirements while on the road. The Linux OS is easy to use and the screen is very readable. The included carrying case could be improved by adding space for the power adapter and a few memory cards, but overall I'm very happy with the Eee PC.

5 of 5 Love it! Take it everywhere. Thursday, May 29, 2008
brdbrain from Chicago, IL  
I briefly had an Asus Eee PC701 running Linux. I could have dealt with small screen, small hard drive, etc., but 512 MB of RAM was just TOO SLOW. Love my new little PC900. So much faster, bigger screen, and you don't have to scroll to see webpages. Linux is very simple to use (This was a concern since I'd previously used DOS, and Win95-Vista.). Wonderful built in applications. This is a great little machine to use "on the fly". Last time I travelled airport security people were so fascinated that they didn't want to stop looking at it. My young grandchildren love it, too. Size and weight are wonderful. Pop it into a purse or large fanny bag, and off I go.

5 of 5 PC 900 Thursday, May 29, 2008
A Customer from Bad Axe, MI  
Linux works flawlessly. No need to install windows xp although directions come with it for xp install if desired. Boots and finds wireless signal quickely. I can use logmein program to work on any of my windows machines that are at work or at home. It is not my primary computer but great for travel and to keep by my easy chair for net browsing. I think I could have saved $150 by buying one of the models with a smaller drive as I usually store any work on my networked computers.
