Why XP in the smaller partition?

2008-09-28
This product is unbelievably fast, has excellent handling, perfect wi-fi, camera is nice, sound is excellent. It has it all. The nasty snag is that Windows XP is installed in a *4Gb partition*. If I know that beforehand I would had reconsidered my choice of buying it. After a few installs and Windows Update the C:\ drive becomes full and you can't do anything else. Reading lots of posts across the internet I became aware of several tweaks that works: transferring user files do D:\, which has 8Gb, switching program files folder to D:\, uninstalling everything and installing onto D:\ and so on and on and on. In this tedious process I eventually ended up doing some mistakes and had to use the DVD to get the Eee back to its original state - and start it all over again. I was really disappointed by the fact that it wasn't advertised anywhere that the 12Gb flash drive is actually TWO drives - with the smaller one containing the space-greedy Windows XP...

Keyboard Needs To Be Replaced In Two Months

2008-08-27
I was happy with it for less than two months, and then the keyboard failed. When I press a key, several characters come out. I was on hold for customer support for more than 20 minutes once, and more than 30 minutes a second time without getting to anyone on the other end. Online tech support is a joke, as the tech support staff kept cut-and-paste the same text telling me to call that number. I had been using Dell for the last 10 years, and thought this small, inexpensive PC would be good to browse Internet in the living room. Big mistake!

I will be more than willing to just forget about the warranty and pay for a replacement myself if there is a place to purchase one. But, I am not able to find one yet. My Eee PC 900 is now collecting dust. I don't think ASUS is ready for prime time...

Works as advertised. Plus's include: size, weight, windows xp, response time. Down's include no disc drive (OK unless you want to load software), keyboard is good but requires time to get use to the size. I had the unit 3 weeks, one of the keyboard keys froze, I sent it in, they sent me a new unit, no questions although their process is a little cumbersome and their customer service line very slow. If weight is your prime concern, go with this unit.

The mini-lap top by Asus (Eee PC) is the perfect answer for someone who travels. It allows me to keep up on my emails, I can watch movies(I have eight movies downloaded on an 8gb sdhd card), I can review my daily photography results and I can surf the web. It is light weight as advertised (2 lbs.) and yet large enough that it is no problem to use.
I was contemplating buying a 12 inch laptop, at approx. $1500 but this 9 inch laptop meets all my needs for $550. One of the best purchases that I have ever made. I am an older retired person in my late 60's and would not generally be thought of as a computer geek, but I get identified as one with my new gadget, quite an experience.

Nice very portable computer!

We like this EEE much better than the Linux based one. It runs programs designed for Windows perfectly and yet maintains the ultraportablity. We have a cellular modem we plug into a USB port and we can hit the net riding down the road. It is great for travelling. No need for lugging another case, just toss this in your suitcase and you are on your way!

ASUS Eee PC 900 12G (8.9" Display, 900 MHz Intel Mobile CPU, 1 GB RAM, 12 GB Solid State Drive, XP Home, 4 Cell Battery) Galaxy Black.

It is a very good "Miiiicro computer". I received it in good condition and in the time appointed by the Amazon. It was a very nice purchase.

Excelent roduct for mobile user

2008-08-02
It is designed for road warriors and don't expect to replace your primary laptop. Big difference after upgrading to 2G ram. 4G "C" drive is too small unless you renstall light XP version with nlite(can't use Window XP fro installation disk). Wish I bought Linux version so I can have more SSD space with same cost(8G verse 16G)

Very Nice LITTLE Computer

2008-07-28
We opted to spend the extra bucks and get the souped up version with more memory and XP. It certainly has made it more useful we've used it more than I expected because it's so portable.

Great little laptop

2008-07-22
We bought this for my daughter to use at college in conjunction with a desktop. This gives her a small device to take to class, etc. but she will have her desktop for the heavy work. We're very pleased with the quality of the machine. It seems to do everything she needs, although if you have big hands I think it would be a lot less user friendly. I would definitely buy it again.
