Summary: Not bad but not for me. Linux kills this thing.
Comment: The EEE PC is a good traveling laptop, or a good starting computer for children but buyer beware the "Surf" editions of these notebooks are not upgradeable.....so if you get one make sure it doesen't have surf written on the box. The Sd card reader is cool, the desktop is acceptable but not nearly as functional as needeed by an avid computer user such as myself. The harddrive is insanely small 4GB which holds next to nothing, the processor is slow 800 HMZ w. 512 mb ram which gives you the bare ability to run the internet and watch videos online, evne then they are choppy. The OS on this unit is Xandros Linux which is my biggest complaint. My first point of advice, if you can buy it pre-loaded with Windows XP or install it yourself with an external cd drive. Linux sucks and give you no functionality what so ever. I tried Ubuntu on this Eee PC and it's just as bad except with ubuntu it doesen't have wireless ability even after wasted days of configuring all for nothing. Get XP on it to actually use it to it's full potential or better yet get an Acer Aspire Vista Laptop for almost the same price with a fully functional OS, great wireless and lots of ram/hard drive space.

Summary: Carry On Laptop
Comment: A true carry-on laptop. Lightweight, small-fits in a purse. Great for travel. It's quick, easy & lightweight. Less than half the size & weight of my Toshiba laptop. No CD/Dvr, but who cares-it's soooo light. Travels easily. Charges quickly. Great for e-mail, documents, etc. Great buy.

Summary: Great for College
Comment: Very good for using during lectures, taking notes, and pulling out whenever you want to. It's small enough to fit in a DVD player case. I've also dropped my EPC a few times from about 4 feet onto carpet, and it survived. The battery life for me is around 3 hours, but I try to maximize my power savings. The sound isn't that loud, but there should be no need to use the speakers for anything important anyway.

Summary: Great basic setup and super portability
Comment: This little PC is super light easy to transport. The keyboard takes a little getting used to for touch typing, but once you get the hang of it it's not too bad.
The preloaded Linux OS comes with enough to perform all of the basic necessary tasks including browsing the web with feature rich content including Flash animation. It also has all of the standard Linux utilities to enable whatever level of customization that is desired within the hard disk size constraints. The default desktop is easy to navigate as well even for a computer novice.
The wireless works great, I average about 650' (with non-metallic obstructions) from the wireless source with a decent connection. It picked up the nearby networks just fine and connected easily.
For the price this is definitely a great little PC for kids or even people that are really on the go and don't want the hassle of larger lap tops.
