Customer Rating: Summary: THE IDEAL MINI-COMPUTER! Comment: Bought the ASUS computer to carry with me on trips away from home. It is lightweight, has most of the software one needs for communications and whatever else one owns a computer for. The keyboard is too small for anything but "hunt and peck" unless one has small hands. Will probably carry a Bluetooth fold up type keyboard, which along with the mouse will do nicely for my mobile needs. If a range extender exists for it, that will be my next acquisition to pickup open systems I can communications through. While I am still in the process of learning how to use it effectively, I am perfectly happy being able to use it as is, and with Majic Jack Plus Skype, it is ideal for taking advantage of those capabilities as well. I would recommend this mini computer to anyone who wants a really find peice of equipment. Need a "Buxton type over the sholder case" for carrying it easily. i.e., in an insulated case that will protect it from damage if dropped. So say I, ROBERT INGRAM POWELL, Ph.D. W6VRO@MSN.COM Customer Rating: Summary: I wish I could use my Asus! Comment: When I purchased this product on Amazon in April, it claimed the delivery would be within 3 to 4 days. Once the order was processed, I was informed that it would come from J&R Music World. Shipping does take 3 to 4 days....once they've shipped it. Had to wait a week or two before it was shipped.
I received my Asus Eee PC 8G in in early May. The adapter did not work so I am unable to charge the battery. I received a message from J&R Music World that they would request a new adapter from the manufacturer and then send it to me. It is now June 4th, 2008 and I have yet to receive it.
I've not been able to use this PC on one trip and have another trip coming up in 10 days. It looks like I just have a $500 lump of metal instead of a PC. I'm losing faith in Amazon and J&R Music World. By the time I get it working, it will likely be obsolete. Customer Rating: Summary: Great PC Comment: Excellent small and I did install the windows XP it work great without any problem. I recomend this product. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice for traveling and Comment: I like the concept of the Eee PC as it's great for traveling. I use it for our golf club and take to the golf course to enter scores after the round. It fits nicely in a small laptop bag that fits in the cart basket easily. Took it on a golf trip and was great for cruising the net using the hotel wireless network. Just wish I knew the newer model with a 40 gig drive was coming out. I have a small 100 gig usb external drive that extends the data capability nicely. Great machine! Customer Rating: Summary: Great road computer Comment: This computer makes travel easy. It is very light and can do just about anything you want it to do, albeit a bit slowly, all on the fold down tray in the seat in front of you. Add a 16 gig SD card to put all of your programming on with USB storage for your files and you are up and running. I added XP and now take it everywhere with me. My downsides are (1) the heighth of the screen because with some programs you can lose the bottom of the display, and (2) the small right shift key which causes me to hit the up arrow sometimes. With time and practice, I got used to it. If you've got big hands and fingers you probably won't like this sub-notebook, but if not, it's a winner.
