Asus Eee PC 4G Surf 7" Netbook - Celeron M 353 900 MHz - Black

Fantastic Little Workhorse

Strengths: Tiny; intuitive.

Weakness: Desperately trying to find one.

Got mine by noon on delivery day and was surfing the web a few minutes later. Setup consisted of turning on the PC, punching in my name and password, and watching it reboot--quickly and silently (everything is solid state, so no HDD to spin up and wait for). Later, I surfed to the Asus site via the embedded link and watched the little guy update himself. Awesome! We got the Linux model since we...

nice basic machine

Strengths: light weight, low price point, and fast boot times.

Weakness: storage space and keyboard key sizes.

This is an excellent computer for when you don't want to heft around a 17" laptop or when you need to have something simple and straight forward. I got this so I don't have to take my heavy 10 lbs 17" Toshiba and this fits in my backpack with no problems and is not too heavy.

Great sub-compact laptop for the price

Strengths: Light weight. Quiet. Easy to configure and easy tp use.

Weakness: Battery life could be a little longer. Keyboard is a little cramped for large hands.

Asus EeePC 4G Surf I did a lot of research before I decided to buy an Asus Eee laptop. I was looking for something small and lightweight, yet fully functional. I was looking for a laptop that I could play with Linux, load Windows Server 2003 for MCSA study work and ultimately load XP on. My expectations were high after reading reviews and browsing forums. I bought my laptop at Buy.com with free...

This machine ROCKS

Strengths: Size, weight, keyboard, strong wireless signal

Weakness: Size, keyboard, touchpad

I love this machine. Weighing whether to bring this or my MacBook into the coffeeshop is a no-brainer. Easily acquires local wireless signals, offering a full internet experience in an incredibly portable package. Yes, the keyboard is small. You start out two-fingering but quickly evolve to nearly full-speed typing; I'm at about 85%, now. Ditto for the trackpad, which feels unresponsive at first...

Light weight, cheap, but not for long typing

Strengths: Light weight, cheap, easy to use software preinstalled, boots fast

Weakness: display smaller that necessary, battery time shorter than with the eeePC 4G with webcam

I would not compare this product with any ordinary notebook, but due to its light weight, small form factor and fast booting its fun to carry it always with you and turn it on to quickly check mails or take notes, write emails. I am able to use it with the 10 fingers, but I could imagine that there are "hands" outside who cannot. I am a little disappointed that the display is smaller that it is...

Great device, but typing is awkward

Strengths: Form factor is amazing. Quick startup.

Weakness: Under-sized keyboard makes typing awkward. Can't jump on my Apple Airport wifi.

The Asus eee is a great step forward for the sub-laptop market. It's cheap, durable, and comes fully-loaded with a plethora of useful apps. The biggest drawback is the under-sized keyboard, which takes a lot of getting used to. After using this unit for about a month, I am finally starting to get used to typing on it. A great deal if you need something small that doesn't require Windows.

LOVE my 4G EeePC

Strengths: small, fast, super portable, super light, programs are compatible with Microsoft Office

Weakness: Old running system (for my particular netbook), touch pad super small & hyper sensitive

I love my Baby (the name I gave my laptop). It's the best purchase I've made all year. It fits in my bag and the batter lasts for a decent amount of time. The charger cable is long too! It takes a little to get accustomed to the size and sensitivity of the keyboard and touchpad. If you buy this computer, BE SURE THAT THE RUNNING SYSTEM IS NEW! mine is old but it works just the same. But the new...

Eee PC 4G Surf Notebook

Strengths: I love the size and portability of this notebook.

Weakness: Does not have DVD/CD built into this model.

I would highly recommend this to persons on a low budget who want internet access and the ability to check e-mail when away. It also has great accessories and applications for children, science, language, art, etc. Media, music, photo, video and webcam are also included. A great find!
