Customer Rating:      Summary: Good device, though not perfect Comment: pros: lightweight, slim, really portable. Good screen, sufficient amount of USB ports.
cons: two hours battery life is not that much. Windows operation is a kind
of slow. May be one can optimize that but that's what one get out of the box. Keys are small and touch typing will be difficult for the first time.
Customer Rating:      Summary: handy little computer Comment: This little computer is exactly what it says it is: small, easy to carry around, and with limited capacity. It is very convenient for trips, where you want to keep up with email etc. via wifi at hotels and coffee shops, etc., but don't want to bring your regular computer along. The battery doesn't stay charged as long as might be nice, but that's not crucial. Also, as others have said, its small size results in a keyboard that's a little tricky to get used to. But that goes with the territory. In sum, it is cute and handy. And since it's fairly cheap, if something happens to it, it's not a huge loss.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Not As Listed Comment: This specific model does NOT possess the wonderful Asus SSD that makes the other EEE products so quick (even though they claim it does. I confirmed this with ASUS directly).
It has a 16GB SD card soldered in place. That means it's read/write speeds are ABSURDLY slow and this thing behaves like a laptop from the dark ages.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MODEL.
Purchase one of the models with 20g (they actually have a 4GB SSD from which the operating system runs, making them WAY faster for a small price difference.), or a 901.
Customer Rating:      Summary: ASUS mini travels the world Comment: We purchased our "mini" so we would have easier access to the internet for travel booking, email communication and GPS/mapping. Love the size. Love that they offer Windows format now in addition to Linux. It's a little slow so you have to be patient with it booting up or opening up a program. Don't like the left/right button at the bottom (actually it's only one button and I haven't figured out how to right click on anything with this or any other button yet). We're not "texters" so the small keys require special attention when typing . .we use the Hawaiian type . . "wak-a-ki" !! When you want to travel light (30 lbs or less) this baby is the way to go !
Customer Rating:      Summary: Handy but slow Comment: This is a very compact, lightweight, and handy little PC when you need access to the internet on the go. Instead of taking my nearly 6 lb laptop, I took this on a couple of recent trips. My only major complaint is that it takes forever (relatively speaking)to access the internet. I get really impatient waiting for the pages to load. But it beats not having web access when you need it while you are travelling.

The new Eee PC 900 offers you more options for your mobile computing needs. Incorporating a shockproof design and weighing 2.18 pounds, you will find it "Easy to learn, work and play" - making it your best outdoor companion anywhere, anytime. The large 8.9" screen size allows for more screen space - making it more comfortable on the eyes reading and editing documents when viewing a single A4 page without the need to scroll left or right. On the top of this screen is the 1.3 Megapixel Webcamera that works synchronously with the 802.11b/g wireless to provide web conferencing anywhere, anytime for easier web communications and increased work efficiency. Another great feature is the built-in 16GB Solid State Disk (SSD) which offers 15 seconds boot times that makes for a quiet, energy saving, shock proof design, which is ideal for reporters, wildlife photographers and other like-minded outdoor enthusiasts. Preinstalled on the Eee PC to provide you a familiar interface is Microsoft's Windows XP Home, Windows Live Messenger and Works for numerous office applications. Lastly the special FingerGlide makes operating the Eee PC easy and convenient through simple finger movements on the touch pad that allows for scrolling horizontally and vertically through documents by swiping two fingers up or down across the surface of the trackpad, or zoom in or zoom out of pictures by making pinching or stretching movement with your fingers. With all of these features the Asus Eee PC makes for a fantastic purchase as a well-equipped second PC or a Web access tool so beat the crowds, and get yours today before they sell out!
