I LOVE THIS NETBOOK, ITS GREAT. I WENT WITH THIS ONE BECAUSE OF THE LARGE HARD DRIVE AND ITS 5 STAR REVIEWS. I ALSO BOUGHT 2GB OF RAM AND INSTALLED IT IN 5 MINUTES. THEN I UPGRADED TO WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM AND ALL MY PROGRAMS WORK GREAT LIKE MICROSOFT OFFICE. I HAVE A SLINGBOX AND IT WORKS GREAT. AND I ALSO HAVE AN AT&T DATA CARD THAT I PLUG INTO THE USB PORT AND I’M ONLINE IN SECONDS SO TRAVELING IS FANTASTIC. I USUALLY BUY HP PRODUCTS BUT THE PRICE, THE HARD DRIVE AND THE NEW 450N PROCESSOR MADE ME DECIDE ON ASUS. I LOVE IT AND WOULD RECOMMEND THIS NETBOOK TO EVERYONE.

We tote both a laptop and a projector when we travel for work and have looked for years for smaller, reasonably priced options. I heard about the EeePC from a colleague who has used it on the road along with a projector, with no problems. The battery life is awesome, the screen is adequately sized and very clear, the keyboard is very easy to use, and the touchpad is the best that I’ve ever used. Would definitely recommend this to others.

My ASUS Eee is a wonderful computer (battery life is incredible), or at least it was, for about 4 months, till the power adapter quit working. I called ASUS customer support and was informed if power supply overheats it will shut down. It must be unplugged from the wall, the computer, and where it joins in the middle. I did that and left it unplugged for a few minutes and it seems to work fine. Bottom line, don’t leave the power adapter plugged in when you’re not using it and it should be all right.

Had two bad experiences–first Asus came with a dead spot in the lower right corner of the screen. Small but still a dead spot. Returned and waited for the replacement. It arrived and Windows 7 is mis-installed and cannot be repaired. Think I’ll switch to another brand.

After two weeks, it suddenly gave a low battery warning and shut down, despite being plugged in. The charger is lit, but the machine doesn’t charge. Since I can’t turn it on in order to wipe the hard drive, I can’t return it without paying someone to erase it. What a piece of junk. Get a Mac! (I did.)
