Pros: 11.6" is significantly better than 10". Don't even think of getting a 10" one. Overclocking gives it a needed power boost. Lightweight. Battery lasts about 6-8 hours of actually using the netbook. It's not 11 as advertised but it's plenty. Good touchpad. Decent keyboard. Comes with a carrying thingy just the right size. Lightweight power adapter.
Cons: Shift key is too small. Weakass speakers. Viewing angles are bad, like all netbooks. If you add ram to get 2GB, the overclocking is disabled. Asus should have solved this by now but they didn't. Perhaps a future bios update will fix this amateuristic problem Asus made. There are some 2gb sticks out there that do keep the OC. Google it. The processor is quite weak... When it's not overclocked to the max 1.75Ghz the lag is noticeable.
Other Thoughts: Perhaps the best 11.6" netbook for a reasonable price. I'm sure newer products will come out in the following months that will be much better, but for now it's probably the best you can get in this price range.

Let's get this straight: You are paying for the battery

Pros: Eternal battery life. Higher resolution than typical netbooks. Nice keyboard.
Cons: None, if you know what this thing is for.
Other Thoughts: The Atom Z520 is a technological marvel. It is incredibly efficient. If you want a computer for word processing and spreadsheets on trans-Pacific flights, then this is the one to buy. If you want to watch standard definition DVD rips on a coast-to-coast flight and have plenty of battery left when you land, then you want this machine. If you want to play games or watch 1080p video or do heavy multitasking, try the Acer 1810.

Pros: Light, quick for word, excel, most web based work. Can watch movies, play music.
Unbelievable battery life - I use this netbook all day and only charge it at night, last me the whole day at work.
Runs programming scripts with moderate ease, holds pictures easy.
Cons: Touchpad can be annoying.
Stutters on some heavy flash/java based websites.
If you dont like fingerprints like me due to OCD then you will have a problem!
Got a BSOD on mine after a few weeks of use due to page file corruption in WinXP, had to take out HD, back up data, reinstall HD and then used the nifty recovery tool (which was a plus).
Other Thoughts: Great for people on the go all the time. Does everything it should do.
Uninstall some of the useless apps for more speed. If you unplug the laptop and wish to use it for more intensive purposes don't forget to switch it to power mode.
This is my 3rd EeePC I have purchased, buying 3 more for my parents and missus. The refinement of the Asus Netbooks are just getting better and better.
