Asus Eee PC 4G (7" Screen, 800 MHz Intel Celeron Processor, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB Hard Drive, Linux Preloaded) Galaxy Black

Out of the box, Skype and the camera worked allowing for smooth video calls. In addition, thanks to the excellent support community around the Eee PC, I was able to customize it so that multible people can share the laptop with their own SD cards. The SD card is then acting as repository for personal files and programs. In addition, the on board flash drive is left in read-only mode increasing its longevity. I highly recommend this laptop.

A wonderful little computer. I use it all the time for email. Buy an SDHC card for it to put your music on. Asus now has one with a bigger screen 8.9 inch. I would recommend that.

Since I bought it last month, I take this computer everywhere. It's completely replaced my Apple MacBook Pro MA895LL/A 15.4" Laptop (2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive) as a portable due to my light needs (writing, e-mail, web, remote desktop) while mobile. The biggest failing of this device is a flimsy feeling on the keyboard. Everything else on the unit feels solid and properly weighted, but my keyboard was not properly secured and the whole thing tends to bounce around under my fingers while I type. The key depth is okay, and the feeling of your hands being cramped on the smaller keyboard goes away after about a day and a half of use. I do miss having BlueTooth connectivity and recommend purchasing an adapter if you do a lot of mobile work with your cell phone.

I thought the basic functionality was great and very stable, but two things caused me to return this unit. I tried to connect to my secured wifi at home. I entered the encryption key (26 characters) and connected just fine. Next day I tried to log in and it again asked for the the key. According to some forum discussions, this problem is a known issue. It also would not recognize my digital camera on usb connection when I never had a problem with my desktop using XP. Once these bugs have been worked out, I would consider buying again.

It is as advertised. Perfect for travel when one wants to check email, use internet for checking flights, restaurants, etc. The word processing program is fine for short notes and keeping a log. Keyboard is tiny, but I have small fingers, so it works for me -- an external mouse adds to ease of use and convenience. And it is so cute! Everyone who sees it comments on it. I also purchased the Continental adapters, which makes it great for international travel when one is not doing heavy work requiring lots of computing power. A great value and just fun to use.
