 Asus EEE Pc October 14, 2008

I bought it for my wife as birthday present. She loves it and says:
Pluses: Super convenient size and fun to carry with you in your purse to use on a daily basis. I use mine as a PDA for organizational purposes and to kill time playing games while waiting at dr. offices, kids appts, etc. The pre-formatted templates for organization are great. The decorative skins that are available for this computer make it even more fun. Easy and convenient WiFi capability. Nice size keyboard for a mini computer. Short battery life doesn't matter if you can plug it in at work or home.
Minuses: Definitely a second computer. Processor not fast enough for serious word processing or serious game playing. Slow to boot up. Battery life is under 2 hours.
Exactly what you expect it to be... which is MOSTLY a good thing April 18, 2009

Before I begin, let me explain myself a bit... I am a grad student in engineering in a city school. I already own a fairly nice laptop, but it is much too large to stick in my backpack and trek around the city, which I do mostly via bicycle. I was looking for a small, cheap-o laptop to drag across the city, and the eee seemed to fit the bill. I eventually got this exact model (16g ssd with Win XP), except in black.
For the most part, I am very pleased with the eee pc. It's light, portable, and, most importantly for me, durable. I am pretty rough on my electronics, and the eee has already survived a few light drops and knocks, not to mention debris from food and coffee. While the processor is definitely a bit slow, I have managed to pack Mathematica and Matlab onto it (fancy math/science packages for you non-nerds out there), which both function well enough for my needs. It is great for internet browsing, though some flash-heavy websites cause issues (ESPN.com is especially notorious). However, it is possible to find a way to work around most of these issues and enjoy the EEE.
This, however, is the EEE's biggest problem; its performance, as has been my case, is heavily dependent on the computer-skills of the user, or at least on the willingness to learn. Out of the box, the eee handles like a bag of bricks, especially the windows model. After a few days of tinkering with lots of settings to increase the speed and battery life, I was able to obtain the computer I hoped to be using. eeeuser.com is a great resource for those of you willing to learn, as it helped me immensely.
Overall, if you are willing to dabble in some of the milder inner workings of Windows, you should be happy with the eee 900 as a secondary, ultra-portable computer. Those of you looking for a primary laptop, however, probably should look elsewhere. Also, if you are not crazy about learning how to optimize the computer via playing with some settings, you are bound to face a lot of frustration with the eee 900.

I keep this little thing in my bag for presentations. It connects to a projector and runs Powerpoint flawlessly. After getting used to the keyboard its a breeze to work. For the price it's great.
 Buy ANY other Eee PC! March 20, 2009

The 900 16GB model uses a slower kind of memory that the other Eee PC models. It is unusably slow. It takes a minute for the browser to open. Mouse clicks even for simple things can take a long time. Please save yourself the frustration and buy ANY other 900 model than the one you are looking at right now. This is commonly referred to on forums as the "dreaded" 900 16GB.
RUN FROM THE EEEPC 900 16g April 19, 2009

Bought yesterday at Best Buy the eee pc 900 16g XP version...well ,sad to read the review of the product after buying it ...
The 80's 486's deskops for certaain runs better them this "junk".
After 30 hours "Googling"for solutions and trying ,I almost throw it from my hotel window !! but it does not open !! lucky for my US$ 290.00 !! Today returned it to Best Buy less 15% returning fee.
I own 2 of the 7 inch series,one with linux and the other with the XP,both runs perfect..wanna know how Asus released a product that efectivelly DON'T WORK !! SUPER ,SUPER SLOW..40 TO 60 SECONDS TO OPEN THE INTERNET EXPLORER ..LOCK ALL THE TIME ,WITH EVERYTHING OPENED (IF OPENS)WELL ,IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DEVICE TO MAKE YOU CRAZY ,GO FOR IT !!ENOUGH FOR ME...
After reading about that issue I immediately bought here the 901 12g XP plus 8g SD ( good value !!)
Writing on it while downloading Skipe,many windows open ,now I have a working Laptop !!
Even the Geek Squad staff at Best buy told me that they are having to much claims at this Mini Cooper with an 50cc engine.
From everything I had read about it,and from my own experience..RUN FROM IT !!!!USELESS ....MINUS FIVE STAR FOR ASUS.
