Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great little machine!
I just wanted to say that i am a 'desktop homebased Mac person', but really wanted one of these little netbooks to be able to check my email/do misc. Internet things while out & about. I have do have some experience with PC's, & this little machine (Asus 901 Atom processor-Windows XP version) is perfect for taking with you anywhere-i haven't experienced any problems (keep in mind i probably don't use this machine to it's fullest potential, even). It's really nice to have with you away from home. Works perfectly with my Novatel wireless card. Total price delivered for mine was around $411-glad i got it before the increase in price.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - It was exactly what I needed
This little jewel is exactly what I needed. I am very happy about it. I can work with XP doing everything I was doing on my full power toshiba 15,4
' laptop:

-emailing with google
-browinsing with firefox
- using office for documents and speadsheets
- using audacity to reharse singing in 4 part harmonies (yes... thhe Intel Atom is able to support this as well)

The screen is remarkable and the size, for me, the right one. It can go in my backpack and the more than 5 hours batteries finally gives me freedom to go anywhere to work.

I am a traveller and I need to call Italy often. This is a portable communication station with video and microphone. I also have a Western Digital portable disk (160GB) actually without any weight and ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Four Point Five Stars
I purchased an Asus Eee 900 w/64gb SSD + 2gb RAM on eBay back in Mid September 2008 (for which I paid $420 inc shipping, which was a true steal of a deal at the time because the 64gb SSD alone was selling for more than two hundred fifty dollars).

My Eee 900 has XP home and runs pretty much flawlessly. I intend to reload it with an Nlite version of XP Pro that i made, reducing the OS to 188mb which will quicken it up greatly.

My advice upon purchasing an Asus Eee 900 or 901 is to get a good 10400mAH battery (make sure the cells are made in Japan), get a CLA (ciggarette lighter adapter), and upgrade to 2gb RAM immediately.

The smallness of the Eee 900 & 901 takes a little getting used to (be ready for some typos if you've wide tipped fingers), but all ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - buy the 20GB hard drive model or larger.
I like asus products. No real complaints about any of them. Except this one.

I bought it cause it was small and everything about it.

But my only gripe, is that the SSD is NOT 12GB, its 12GB in total, but split into a Master and Slave drive, Master is 4GB one the Operating system is on, and the 8GB is for everything else. This is alright except when you try and use windows update, it takes up all the remaining 600MB of space on the Master drive. So I installed windows on the 8GB drive, find out that is horribly slower than the 4GB. So what do I do now? No idea... ebay maybe.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Returned
Actually, I returned this product. I bought it for the purpose to use SKYPE. I was disappointed because the video was behind the voice about 3 or more seconds. Since SKYPE comes loaded on it, I thought it would be much better quality. I tried several different ways to remedy this, but with no success. I REALLY wish it would have worked, because I LOVED the size and everything else about it. I bought a MacBook instead--Love it.
