Great Remote Computer
Asus has found a great niche market with this computer. It is very small, but the screen resolution quickly has you forgetting the size. The keyboard is small but responsive. My only complaint at first was about the backspace key. It doesn't take you back when viewing webpages, but I learned that alt-right arrow does this. Linux is great, but does have a learning curve. I had never used it, but was able to navigate easily in a few minutes.
Later I changed my desktop to advanced mode and learne...

Good for basic use
The 16GB SSD is slower than you might expect. I experienced long delay times in normal usage, most times a freeze lasting longer than 10 seconds. Turns out that NTFS is a terrible file format for this SSD because of the file-permissions associated with the write commands. Convert the NTFS sys volume to FAT32, and apparently things get quite a bit faster.
I would think a SSD would be much faster than a normal hard drive, that's why I was dissapointed with the performance of the unit as a whol...

too small for adults
i bought it for the solid state drive and OS. I plan on giving this to my daughter as a gift. She is 11 and it will be a good computer for her. The keyboard is too small and the battery strength is poor

Great Value, although slow SSD card
The price and features for this 900 series eeepc are outstanding. Asus builds a quality product that feels and looks expensive. This particular eeepc has the 16gig ssd card, and I found out later on forums that it is a slow card compared to the 12gig and smaller cards. You will notice some slow application loads, but overall when surfing, and typing on a word document its not very noticeable. I would recommend it for its value, but caution if you are looking for a zippy little notebook, I wo...

Good Mobile Internet Computing
I use this every day while deployed with the military here in the Middle East to stay in touch with my family back in the USA. This is a good basic computer. It isn't the fastest nor the most advanced, but it is perfect for normal internet and applications. I can access the internet without problems. The webcam and microphone look and sound great. The speakers a bit weak, but if you are looking for surround sound, then netbooks aren't right for you. I have loaded Microsoft Office 2007 and ...

the 900 eee pc
I really like this small unit. I'd checked one out at the "box store" just so I wouldn't be surprised by anything. It packs nice. Of course more garbage software than you need, but every manufacture thinks that they need to bundle everything. Would recommend this to anyone that needs something to travel with as long as you are not planning on stressing the memory. 1GB is good, but 2 would be better. Screen is small, but you wanted this when you purchased this size. Keyboard is a...
