Alright
- Pros: Its compact. It does almost everything i want.
- Cons: Heres what i planned on being able to do...open a tab and play music in firefox from myspace or pandora or youtube and then open another tab to check email. It lags too much to actually play the song without jumping. I also wanted to play music from the music software there and run open office. It didnt have any trouble with that. Also the basic media player can not play RM files and since its linux its not easy to update and I dont have time to look for a solution. I might install windows over it.
- Other Thoughts: Keyboard takes some getting used to, but it seems to work well now. GET THE EEE-PC LAPTOP WITH THE FASTER PROCESSER THAN THIS TYPE AND WITH MORE RAM!
Nice toy but...
- Pros: Cheap
Light
Nice OS
- Cons: Too slow
Battery life terrible
- Other Thoughts: Lovely little thing, but too slow, trackpad too small and material feels too cheap to be sturdy.
Awesome Tiny Laptop
- Pros: I LOVE IT! You have no idea how handy a 7" screened 2lbs laptop can be. It easily fits between my truck seats(which means I ALWAYS have it) and the power adaptor is so small it can fit in your jacket pocket. I'm your average computer user, I like windows, and I didnt like Linux cus it was too underdeveloped, and not noob friendly. But this version of linux is so easy it takes no learning curve at all. Awesome price at only a few hundred dollars for what you get. For the price of a PDA, fancy Cell phone, or an iPod I got a laptop. Speakers sound ok, but a little tinny. SDHC support! I'm using a 16gb SDHC for storage and it can boot from SD card or USB Thumbdrive. Pidgin works great for everyday chatting. Firefox, documents, spreadsheet, PDF reader, calculator, all are very similar to Windows versions so its easy to get used to. Internal wireless is able to talk to my Draft N network flawlessly.
- Cons: 800x480 isnt a good resolution for web browsing, even hitting F11 isnt giving you enough vertical viewing space. Tiny keyboard is difficult to type on till you get used to it and the layout is a little different. So tiny and odd, this is not a keyboard you want to type a novel on. Battery life is short for a 4400MAH battery. Touchpad and buttons dont work so hot, sometimes you have to try clicking twice to get the buttons to work. But with 3 USB ports just carry a tiny mouse with you. Processor seems overloaded, web browsing is slow, and divx/xvid movies run choppy. Onboard memory is slow access, probably about the speed of a 4200rpm HD, SD read/write is slower than a 4200rpm HD. So installing a OS to the SD card seems like a bad idea(But I havent tried it). Cant install any programs that arent supplied by Asus. Had a hard time finding the utility to make it autolog into wireless networks, but finally found which one did that.
- Other Thoughts: No matter how many cons I can list. It doesnt matter, this laptop is worth every penny. The ease of use, as well as the practicality of this laptop by far surpasses any frustations I have. I'm not new to laptops, this is actually my fourth one I've owned. Right now I own two. I carry around a 15.4" laptop that has 6 hours of battery life and I always have my eeePC in the backpack with it. Its so light theres no reason not to have it and there are so many situations I pull my eeePC out instead of my main laptop. Nothing compares in "bang for the buck" I dont care how hip your trendy laptop is, this is much cooler. :) I would recommend getting the 4G Surf or the 4G Non-Surf. The 2G doesnt have enough internal space and the non upgradeable ram hinders the machines performance, where the 4G non-surf comes with a bigger battery and upgradeable ram. I planned on installing windows like the guide says. But this linux build works too good I dont want to let it go.
