 Great kids' computer at a great price Jan 05, 2009
I bought this laptop for my daughter to take to school. She's dyslexic, and keyboarding is a lot easier for her than handwriting.
The keyboard is small and a bit cramped for an adult, but it's a perfect computer for kids. It's great for taking notes, doing homework, emailing and surfing the web. It's extremely compact and light, and it hooks up to the Internet at hot spots fairly easily. Don't worry about the Linux operating system. The set up here could not be easier to use. This laptop (or netbook or whatever you want to call it) is designed specifically for kids, and I think it does its job perfectly.
One small drawback: my daughter figured out that she can stream TV shows over the Internet on her Asus EEE. The plus side is that this makes her love her little computer even more, but the negative side is she's watching TV.
Still, I'm really glad we bought her this computer. I can't think of any portable, lightweight one that could do the job quite as well for the price. Kind of wish I had bought myself one too, instead of the heavy, slow thing I've got that I'm reluctant to schlep around.
Great for mobile small computer, got it from Amazon Jan 03, 2009
The ASUS EEE Pc is a great mobile computer, and the 900 is reasonably priced.
PRO: lightweight, small high resolution screen, full keyboard, touchpad, ethernet, wifi.
CON: small keyboard, slower processor mobile series
Linux Xandros is easy to use. Boots up fast. Connecting to wbifi was easy. Connecting to ethernet was easy. Great product. Touchpad is sensitive. Bought the 900 from Amazon on Xmas eve, and it did not ship until the 26th, and did not arrive until a week after almost all of the other products that I ordered arrived. The tracking number did not update on Amazon, and I could not track the package. The box was opened, and I think that the 900 may have been returned and reshipped to me as "new". The keyboard seems worn out already. The same computer is selling for $40 less than what I paid a week ago? Shipping was free with super saving shipping.
Summary: Like the 900, but make sure you get a new one if buying from Amazon. Their package tracking is buggy.
Great portable notebook Dec 18, 2008
Very impressed with look, feel of machine. Feels and behaves like a much more expensive computer. The linux operating system is a breeze to use. It connected right up to my home wireless (which is better than I can say about our Windows machines). Very respectable battery life, nice screen. Lots of slots for peripheral storage or adding USB devices. With ext . hard drive, monitor, and USB optical drive, could be used as cheap desktop. My only complaint is the mouse pad can be frustrating to use at times. Seems like it gets a mind of its own running around and selecting things at random.
good things come in small packages Dec 16, 2008
I was looking for a portable, inexpensive laptop that I could use for word processing and internet access and this fits the bill perfectly!
If you have never used Linux and are hesitant to try it out, don't be. This computer runs a version of Linux that is very intuitive for the user and also runs Open Office, which is compatible with Microsoft so you can share documents between computers.
My one caution to buyers would be that the keyboard is small. I am a woman with average-sized hands & don't have much problem with the keyboard, just a little loss of speed versus a standard-sized keyboard. However, I wonder if someone with larger hands would feel comfortable when typing on it.
This is definitely a product I would recommend to friends and family
 Not so good... Dec 16, 2008
I bought this item because it was really inexpensive, and I really wanted a small notebook, it worked great when I got it, but the keyboard had some issues, not all the buttons worked *easily* - some of them I had to really press to get them to register, and it happened with more than 7 keys, in random places on the keyboard, but ASUS was quick to send me another keyboard without any problem. Overall the system just got too hot for my liking (up to 190 degrees F) and honestly speaking, that is way too high for a notebook, especially these little netbooks. It also didn't provide good battery life at all, my recommendation: get the 900A model, I loved the case design and the tiny form factor, I thought it was a beautiful machine and very well manufactured, and the replacement keyboard worked fine, I must have got a dud, but the Celeron M processor is what killed it for me, too slow, too hot, get the Atom-based 900 instead.
