Summary: Everything I ever wanted in a notebook
Comment: I have the ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf. While my husband chides me because I could have bought a larger notebook for just a little more, that wasn't why I bought my eeepc. I wanted little, I wanted portable, I wanted durable, I wanted to surf the internet. And all those features are realized in this tiny little computer.
SIZE
That is one comment I get from everyone, "That's the smallest notebook I've ever seen!" It really is small, under 9" x 6 ¼ x 1 ½". It fits in my purse and I can take it anywhere.
I don't find the smaller a keyboard a problem at all. Of course, I am a woman with long, slender fingers. Perhaps a person with larger hands would find difficulty.
DURABILITY
This little thing goes in my purse and it's been dropped, but nothing ever broke and no data has been lost. The flash drive feature helps, as I'm not worried about breaking a delicate hard drive.
WEB SURFING
It's easy to get a WIFI connection when one is available. Once the network connection is established, reconnecting is easy. All the information and passwords are stored. Just select the network and click "connect." I found the WIFI works very well, and surfing speed is quick, but I wanted internet everywhere, so I got a Sprint Airbus 595U.
Setting up the 595U was a bear. I don't know Xandros, the operating system that came installed. It took me three whole days of surfing the internet to find instructions, trial and error through which I thought I might just mess everything up so badly I'd need to reinstall everything from scratch -- until I finally found someone who posted step-by-step instructions for installing this thing (bless him, but I can't remember where I found the instructions). Now that it's set up, I can connect quickly and easily.
The computer comes with Firefox, which I found easy to use. I installed Glubble so that my children could surf safely. I highly recommend Glubble to anyone giving this to their kids.
EMAIL
There is no email client built in, but I was able to get Thunderbird working by browsing the internet. It's under the "work" tab and not the "internet" tab, so not as convenient as it could be, but I'm happy with Thunderbird.
BATTERY LIFE
I've watched entire tv episodes via my 595U connection on one charge. Impressive. It lasts up to 2 hours, sometimes less, depending on what I'm doing.
SUMMARY
Once I got it configured just so, this computer is everything I wanted it to be. My kids use it more than I do, and I bring it with me whenever I need a computer or I know my kids will be waiting somewhere for a long time (i.e., doctor's office or sibling's activity) and will be bored. It's a terrific buy.

Summary: easy to use and light to carry when your on the road or travelling. Also sturdy and perfect as a first laptop.
Comment: Bought for my sister for xmas, excellent laptop for her since it is so small and easy to just throw into your bag. She uses it for the internet and to play her iPod music. It is so easy and very durable when using. I would definitely tell anyway who needs a small laptop or an additional one for on the road to get the Asus eee PC.

Summary: Excellent for the Road Warrior
Comment: I have looked for years for a laptop that was compact, no fuss and would do what I need (Word processing, and e-mail). This is it! Right from the box it was ready to roll. The WI-FI works great, networking in motels with RJ cord works great. The word processor melds seamlessly with MS WORD. Even the photo program is handy. Small (size of a trade paperback book), light (two pounds), it is perfect for my needs. Fits in a day pack without a problem. Highly recommend for anyone on the road and needs something that won't weigh you down.
