Ever feel that most notebooks are still too large to travel with? 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 12GB Solid State Disk (SSD) for quick 15 second 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!

Summary: Comes with its own cover
Comment: My main purpose for adding this review to the many good reviews already here, is to point out that a good, slightly padded, fitted cover is included with the ASUS Eee PC 900 8.9-Inch Netbook. The included cover is perfect for protecting the netbook from knocks and scratches while traveling. If I had known this, I wouldn't have wasted my money on the Kroo neoprene cover, shown as an accessory for this netbook!
My only criticism of my netbook is that the right/left click buttons on the mousepad are a little stiff, but the mousepad can be tapped to left click. I've bought a cheap, small mouse for the occasions that I am using the netbook for an extended time. I bought this netbook as an alternative to taking my full-size, laptop with me when I travel, mainly so that I can keep in touch with my family by email, IM and video chats, and it's perfect for that purpose.

Summary: Why XP in the smaller partition?
Comment: This product is unbelievably fast, has excellent handling, perfect wi-fi, camera is nice, sound is excellent. It has it all. The nasty snag is that Windows XP is installed in a *4Gb partition*. If I know that beforehand I would had reconsidered my choice of buying it. After a few installs and Windows Update the C:\ drive becomes full and you can't do anything else. Reading lots of posts across the internet I became aware of several tweaks that works: transferring user files do D:\, which has 8Gb, switching program files folder to D:\, uninstalling everything and installing onto D:\ and so on and on and on. In this tedious process I eventually ended up doing some mistakes and had to use the DVD to get the Eee back to its original state - and start it all over again. I was really disappointed by the fact that it wasn't advertised anywhere that the 12Gb flash drive is actually TWO drives - with the smaller one containing the space-greedy Windows XP...

Summary: Keyboard Needs To Be Replaced In Two Months
Comment: I was happy with it for less than two months, and then the keyboard failed. When I press a key, several characters come out. I was on hold for customer support for more than 20 minutes once, and more than 30 minutes a second time without getting to anyone on the other end. Online tech support is a joke, as the tech support staff kept cut-and-paste the same text telling me to call that number. I had been using Dell for the last 10 years, and thought this small, inexpensive PC would be good to browse Internet in the living room. Big mistake!
I will be more than willing to just forget about the warranty and pay for a replacement myself if there is a place to purchase one. But, I am not able to find one yet. My Eee PC 900 is now collecting dust. I don't think ASUS is ready for prime time...

Summary: EEEPC
Comment: Works as advertised. Plus's include: size, weight, windows xp, response time. Down's include no disc drive (OK unless you want to load software), keyboard is good but requires time to get use to the size. I had the unit 3 weeks, one of the keyboard keys froze, I sent it in, they sent me a new unit, no questions although their process is a little cumbersome and their customer service line very slow. If weight is your prime concern, go with this unit.

Summary: Asus Eee PC
Comment: The mini-lap top by Asus (Eee PC) is the perfect answer for someone who travels. It allows me to keep up on my emails, I can watch movies(I have eight movies downloaded on an 8gb sdhd card), I can review my daily photography results and I can surf the web. It is light weight as advertised (2 lbs.) and yet large enough that it is no problem to use.
I was contemplating buying a 12 inch laptop, at approx. $1500 but this 9 inch laptop meets all my needs for $550. One of the best purchases that I have ever made. I am an older retired person in my late 60's and would not generally be thought of as a computer geek, but I get identified as one with my new gadget, quite an experience.
