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

Pros: Small, Linux, Small , Price, Small, & Women think it's cute !

Cons: Hmmm , lost the mic when I loaded Ubuntu. will look for solution in the coming days.

Overall Review: I'm having so much fun playing on this Netbook. Fits easily into work satchel and is so light. And all this for so little cash. Took the installed OS off and loaded Ubuntu with fluxbox as the window manager and she purrs. Easily taken just about anywhere for light surfing or extra large mp3 player :-) I'm a command line junkie and this keypad is not that small that I couldn't do all I wanted.

Connection issues using Linux, Debian specifically

Fenvi AC1200 Wireless PCIe WiFi Card Dual Band PCI Express Wi-Fi Adapter Bluetooth 4.0, Up to 867M(5Ghz), 300Mbps(2.4Ghz), 802.11ac WI-FI BT 4.0 PCIe Network Wlan Adapter For Desktop Windows 7,8,10,11
Fenvi AC1200 Wireless PCIe WiFi Card Dual Band PCI Express Wi-Fi Adapter Bluetooth 4.0, Up to 867M(5Ghz), 300Mbps(2.4Ghz), 802.11ac WI-FI BT 4.0 PCIe Network Wlan Adapter For Desktop Windows 7,8,10,11

Pros: Strong Wifi signal and good Bluetooth connectivity

Cons: Initially my computer didn't powerup the card and needed to use cabled Ethernet to find and implement a solution. For those that may have connection issues using Debian Linux, I found this to be my solution. The card uses an Intel chip so I visited their support guide : https://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi Follow the instructions listed and good luck to you. Intel's instructions worked flawlessly for me

Overall Review: For an inexpensive Wifi/Bluetooth card it's definitely a good bang for the buck solution. Highly recommend.

Needed upgrade that wasn't from TP-link

Pros: Dual band comes in handy around the house. Data hungry users needed the extra speed of 5GHz

Overall Review: Dual band comes in handy around the house. Data hungry users needed the extra speed of 5GHz. Signal is strong on both 2.4 and 5 GHz and Linux and Windows play nice with this card

More Than I expected

TP-LINK TL-WN881ND Wireless N300 PCI Express Adapter, 300 Mbps, w/ WPS Button, IEEE 802.1b/g/n, 64 / 128-bit WEP, WPA / WPA2, Plug & Play in Windows

Pros: Good constant connection that's limited by my old wifi router. Now that I have a great wifi adapter, Ill have to upgrade my router to match the speed of the adapter. Missing out on 100 extra connection speed.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Inexpensive card that gives me the same connect speed as wired ethernet.

So impressed

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G - Ryzen 5 5000 G-Series Cezanne (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.9 GHz Socket AM4 65W AMD Radeon Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000252BOX
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G - Ryzen 5 5000 G-Series Cezanne (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.9 GHz Socket AM4 65W AMD Radeon Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000252BOX

Pros: Zen graphics Improvement over 2600 Ryzen

Cons: Haven't found one yet

Overall Review: I wanted to upgrade my CPU in a new rig, but didn't want to pony up for a new video card because they are so outrageously priced. Thought I could just use the Zen graphics until I found a good card to add to the computer. After using the Zen graphics , who needs a video card? Not me. I don't need much on my Linux build but to play Minecraft and the Zen graphics crushes it. Well over 100fps full screen gaming. Well done AMD.

Minor Upgrade

AMD FX-8300 - FX-8000 Series Vishera 8-Core 3.3 GHz Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor - FD8300WMHKBOX
AMD FX-8300 - FX-8000 Series Vishera 8-Core 3.3 GHz Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor - FD8300WMHKBOX

Pros: No overclock just stock speeds runs very cool. I decided to upgrade from FX-6350 to the 8300 , while at same time doubling memory from 8gig to 16 gig. Price was right and end of line for the FX line of cpu's. Swapped out on another computer running my original FX-4100 with the FX-6350. Sorta feels bad dropping the 4100 after all the good service it's provided.

Cons: none
