I recieved this computer. I got it started up and I love the setup for an ultra portable unit. The only problem is that the hard drive is not 12 GB its actually an 8 GB unit and a 4GB unit that are 2 seperate drives....so basically until I can find an external CD drive to see if it is even possible to reformat it ....into 1 drive,or if it is actually 2 seperate units and cannot be done. Also if you want to add more memory, unlike other computers, it will void the warrenty. I found this to be stupid, as I really wanted to put and extra 1gb in this unit without voiding my warrenty.

I bought this mini-notebook for my husband and he says it's the greatest gift he's ever gotten. He absolutely loves and and it is very useful. It is worth spending the extra money to get the unit with the Windows operating system.

I bought this for travel use and found it perfect. I had previously used a Sony PSP to watch movies during trips but tired of the small screen and the need to convert files to the mp4 format the PSP uses. I went with the XP version of the eee PC because there are a lot of video players (GOM, Real Player, etc) that work on XP. I get video files in a lot of different formats and its easier to load on video players than constantly worry about converting the video files. The battery life of the eee PC 900 12G is nothing to rave about but I always take along my myPower 3450 dual daisy-chained batteries which are designed for powering the large laptops so this low power eee PC barely moves the power meter on a cross country trip. I haven't taken it on one of my China trips yet but I don't expect it will have any difficulty powering the 12-hour trip. One last note, I found the wifi capability quite good in making connections to the internet in the hotels I stayed in.
Just as promised [Posted on 2008-07-17]
This little gem has performed just as promised. It's pretty quick and frankly, XP is nice to work with again. Screen is bright and sharp, speed is certainly adequate. Main problem is just size of keyboard, but that comes with the territory. Just brush up on your two finger typing and you'll be fine. A great bargain.

We bought this for my daughter to use at college in conjunction with a desktop. This gives her a small device to take to class, etc. but she will have her desktop for the heavy work. We're very pleased with the quality of the machine. It seems to do everything she needs, although if you have big hands I think it would be a lot less user friendly. I would definitely buy it again.
