Bargain EEE PC

ASUS Eee PC EEEPC900-BK072 Galaxy Black Intel Mobile CPU 8.9" WSVGA 512MB Memory 4GB SSD NetBook
ASUS Eee PC EEEPC900-BK072 Galaxy Black Intel Mobile CPU 8.9" WSVGA 512MB Memory 4GB SSD NetBook

Pros: Picked up my WPA wireless router easily; ran "youtube" perfectly with sound and video in perfect sync (no lag). Was using about half of the 512megs of ram during normal web browsing and about 90% during youtube operation. Unit had a good quality feel to it. Xandros worked fine, but I am very familiar with linux and had no trouble. The power supply had a detachable AC cord, which I like.

Cons: None except it surprised me at how warm it was, and am sure this is normal.

Overall Review: For web browsing, Googling, Binging, etc. with good sound and perfect video in a small package this is a good buy. I might use a mouse, since I just really don't like touch pads. $170 -what a buy!!

Most Critical Review

No Joy

Linksys WUSB100-RM RangePlus Wireless Network Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
Linksys WUSB100-RM RangePlus Wireless Network Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Tried to install it on a computer with windows xp (sp2), a computer with windows xp (sp3), and a computer with windows 2000. The included software on the CD would not work, and the suggested method of windows installing it automatically would not work. Linux Mint would not recognise it. Pretty little ver.2 device that will not work for me.

Cons: Will not work.

Overall Review: Have ordered many computer and electronic items from Newegg over the years, and this is my first "no joy" item from them. Beware, this may be $8.00 wasted.

Good Low Price Wireless Router

ZyXEL NBG334W Wireless G Router with Firewall & Bandwidth Management IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g
ZyXEL NBG334W Wireless G Router with Firewall & Bandwidth Management IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g

Pros: Works as advertised. Signal goes to every room in my house with very little loss. Easy to hook up with the instruction book. Procedure is almost identical to other wireless routers I have purchased from Newegg. Most important parameter is IP of the router being compatible with the modem IP. Easy to change with reference to page 8 in the included instruction manual. A $13 bargain !

Cons: None, however, a little bit of experience helps to get it running.

Bargain Android Tablet !

iView 760TPC Tablet - Android 2.3 upgradeable to 4.0 ARM Cortex-A8 1.00GHz 7" TFT Capacitive Touch Screen 512MB Memory 8GB Flash

Pros: Works as advertised with smooth capacitive screen and plenty of apps selections with the available Google and other markets. Youtube works fine on my unit. The included earbuds sound good to me. Fast shipping from Newegg. Will probably make some changes to it later after reading the suggestions from the "eyeoncomputers" excellent forum! Satisfied with it right now. After reading the other 42 remarks, I just had to order this little jewel. Glad I did.

Cons: None what so ever.

Update of "Worth the Money"

Zonet ZEW2500P Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g MINI USB / USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Works very well. Installed quickly with Ubuntu 10.10, which is the latest version of this Linux distro.

Cons: none

Overall Review: An older version of Ubuntu Linux would not install the adapter, however Ubuntu 10.10 works really well with the Zonet. At least that is my experience with it.

Zonet ZEW2500P Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g MINI USB / USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Easy setup with the included CD. Attractive small package, and a USB cable for better access to the computer USB ports. Works with Windows XP and the latest version of Peppermint-Ice linux. WPA encryption.

Cons: None so far. Very happy with my purchase.

Overall Review: Had it running within five minutes after connection to WindowsXP(SP2) computer. Had it running quickly with Peppermint-Ice linux. No luck with other linux distros including Ubuntu, Knoppix, Puppy,and Fedora. However, I did not spend much time with linux -such as lowering the encryption level, and other little tricks.
