If you just want to surf the net for cheap you will be happy with this. I like Linux but I could not figure out how to install my XP compatable software. I think you can install and use it on Linux but I just could not figure it out. If you want to download file from the internet you may have to store them on a flash drive. I bought this and returned it and got a ASUS with XP and 120GB hard drive, 1.6 MHz, 6 Hour battery instead.
Pro's: Small, lightweight, portable with good screen resolution. Good sound thru headphones.Con's: No optical drive, keyboard not easy with big hands. With I should have gone with the 8G model.General: I changed the OS to eee Xubuntu which feels more familiar although not much more useful. I carry the eee along with an external dvd burner, 110V and 12V(an option) power cords, an external HDD and a few discs in a Targus dvd carry case.Very portable.
It is what it is and it is a truly awesome product. Keep that in mind.
It's lightning fast and oh so user friendly. Love this little guy.
It is definitely NOT a full size lap top. If you are looking for a high tech toy that anyone can use, this is it.
Even Grandma can easily access the internet and learn to use the software. The keyboard is small, as is the memory.
I also have bought a Dell Mini 9, and while I liked the keyboard better, the loss of speed and the lack of user friendliness makes the Ee PC a much better choice.
I love the size and comfort of this little work horse. NO problem.well worth it to have such a light and easy to use machine. I love it. My favorite part is using it in bed while watching tv.when I am done - its so small it just slips in the nightstand drawer.
I read all the reviews so I was prepared for the small keyboard and slight issues w/key strokes. I ordered this mini-laptop as an early XMas gift for myself.I am so glad. I had a small DVD player case of my kids that we use on trips in a closet.I slipped my mini-laptop right in the vinyl case w/handles. I also love the cord - it very long and doesn't have that heavy power source box attached like my old HP. The screen is a bit smaller than most webpages so when pulling pages some slight adjustments need to be made to see the entire screen - but again not a problem or room for concern.
It fits perfectly. My kids love the little mini and fight over using it all of the time.its a great little laptop and work computer. I replaced my broken 2 yr old HP laptop with this little mini version and could not be happier. Something that was always difficult with a full size laptop. The software pre-loaded on the laptop easily converts my Office products (word/excel) and opening email w/attachments is very easy.
I am a real estate agent and the only problem so far has been w/my local associations website - I have problems w/their site and downloading their info - but I am currently working with their IT folks and should have that problem resolved. It boots quickly and shuts down even quicker.so user friendly. I would highly recommend my little work horse.
I DIDNT REALIZE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO RECONFIGURE MY WHOLE WIRELSS SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THE LINUX. ITS A GREAT LITTLE PIECE FOR JUST SURFING WEB. I HAD TO RETURN BECAUSE OF LINUX. GET IT WITHOUT LINUX. JMO
