Summary: Wonderful product, but I sent mine back
Comment: I had mine for a week and sent it back to Amazon, but it was my fault for buying the wrong computer. It was perfect for email and surfing the net, but I needed a laptop suitable for all-day word-processing use, which it isn't designed for. I found it strained my eyes and I couldn't type nearly as fast as with a standard keyboard.
However, I was very impressed with the computer's exceptionally small size and weight, and the ease of setting it up and connecting to the net. I also liked the fact that there was a sticker on the keyboard with a toll-free technical support number.
I'm going to try an eee PC with a 10-inch screen now - maybe that will be more suitable for my purposes.

Summary: Excellent value and construction
Comment: This little computer is a gem. It serves my needs, is very quick and seems to work flawlessly. The construction is quality grade. The only thing I wish it had is a larger hard drive but having said that it is adequate for a portable communications and internet tool.

Summary: computer review
Comment: Super computer overall for surfing the net, but has too little memory for much else. Even then, it runs out of virtual memory often. It would be nice to offer with more ram, even if it cost more. Then, it would be much more versatile IMO. Bottom line - I would buy another one. Hopefully, each one will improve...

Summary: Great little machine!
Comment: 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.

Summary: It was exactly what I needed
Comment: 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 size which provide me all mass memeory I need for picture, music, and so on.
The only drawbacks I see are:
- I wasted some time to update the touchpad drivers to the elantech version but sometimes i get clumsy with the many possibilities and the scrolling function does not work perfectly with all prograams
- sometimes you have to be patient with some slowing down of the system, especially soon after booting.
- as far as concerns with having multiple programs open at the same time, I do not see problem having: firefox, word, excel open at the same time (considering avast running in the background also). Also audacity can run in parallele with firefox and word.
- I would have preferred a bigger system drive. I am cnstantly concerned about not to have enough space for system updates.
however there is a very helpfull user forum on line where I found solution to many problems. Including the impossibility to use the built in microphone at the beginning.
However, I recommend this netbook. It is not a toy at all. It is an honorable modern computer which may fulfill the real needs of the many people who are not jeeks and spend a lot of money on state of the art vista super-power laptops.
