Size matters, no matter what anybody says, and sometimes smaller is better. Especially if you know what to do with it, and Asus does. The Eee PC 900 is designed for people who need lots of power in a small package. The Intel Mobile CPU and 1GB of memory run this Linux system with power to spare.
The 8.9" screen has a 1024x600 resolution. The smaller screen lets you easily use it on a plane or train. A 16GB SSD Flash drive has plenty of room for you work and entertainment files and has no moving parts so it saves power.

Great Travel PC!
- Pros: Small, portable, 5+hours battery life (more with wifi turned off). Fast boot with xandros. Plays all media types that I throw at it, AVI, MOV, ....ETC. No Windows products to fuss with!! Webcam works great for video conferencing.
- Cons: None really. Should have waited for the price drop. This is a great deal! I may buy another.
- Other Thoughts: Tried eeedebian, ubuntu, sidux, eeebuntu, and debian lenny on it and all worked well with some tweaking. I have now restored back to the stock Xandros distro, enabled the advanced desktop (use your favorite search engine to find the howtos), and it is working great for me. As an example- rip movies to the sd card and watch them on the plane (6 movies on one 8Gb SDHC?!?), play games on the plane via mame. Fellow passengers are envious. Internet radio in the hotel room. Great machine for introducing people to the world of Linux.
Eee PC Review
- Pros: I highly recommend this product as a compliment to another computer. As ASUS claims, the Eee is extremely quiet, has a very long battery life (i have been getting 6 hours of battery life at 80% use, 20% sleep mode).
with the assistance of an external CD drive of a friends, i put Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE 4 on it, and it works without a hitch. All the hardware, such as wireless card and otherwise, work flawlessly without any grief from the new OS. I have it setup with a VPN between itself and my home computer, so anytime I need something important from home, I have it at my IP fingertips.
I am currently working on mastering my one-hand typing, and can get about 50 wpm now. My two-handed typing took only about 3-5 hours of continued use to aclimate to the smaller keyboard.
- Cons: The version of Linux (Xandros) that came on the laptop was severely limited in customization. I had to quickly dispatch of it, and format the drive; Xandros doesnt allow for any root commands, or use of the command line.
Secondly, I would not recommend this as an only source for computing; while the screen is more than adequate when on the go, using this as your sole machine would soon have you frustrated. It is best to think of it as a highly portable, complimentary device.
- Other Thoughts: Get it!

Excellent Affordable Small NETBOOK
- Pros: - affordable (about $350)
- lightweight (about 2 lbs)
- good performance for coffee shops, restaurants with wifi, ect.
- quick boot up/shut down
- runs quiet and has lots of room for DIY upgrades (touchscreen, GPS, bluetooth, etc)
- Cons: - no atom processor in this model, but for about $350, this is the best deal you can get
- NOT a desktop replacement but anyone looking at a netbook should already know this
- Other Thoughts: this is a great netbook if you are realistic with your goals.
YOU WILL BE HAPPY IF
you want a light, affordable netbook that you can grab and bring with you anywhere.
YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY IF
you are trying to game or use this for desktop replacement. tip: skip XP and run a light version of linux to maximize quickness of this machine. for users who are using xandros, you can enable advanced options with a quick google search and a few clicks.
Diamon in the rough
- Pros: -Quality Build
-Great customization (Easy access to Ram / SSD)
-Works wonderfully with Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 / XFCE / Compiz (3D Desktop)
-Plenty of memory/storage for a netbook running linux
-Very portable and lightweight
- Cons: -Battery life 3-3 1/2 hrs for my use (50% screen brighness, wifi, document edit)
-Keyboard is small, but you get used to it fast.
-Xandros, poor choice unless you are a novice user not looking to customize or install a lot of additional software.
- Other Thoughts: -Not an Atom CPU but thats ok for me, I don't need 8 hours of battery life.
-16GB SSD may not be the fastest but it's fine for Linux, and I think others make it sound worse than it is.
-Boot time is around 40-45 seconds with Ubuntu Eee
This model has a lot of community support. So installing different Linux distributions is not an issue. Everything worked out-of-the-box on Ubuntu Eee for me. If battery life is an issue, get this model with a larger battery or get an Atom powered netbook.
- Pros: Smaller then usual laptops, more like the size of a portable dvd player
- Cons: SLOW!!!!! ___ i dont mind the processor speed but the ssd was slow on starting up windows xp drains half the battery out on just loading for a straight 2mins and the keyboard is also small to type on im normally used to 5 finger typing but with this keyboard i have to use my index fingers and after a while it does get annoying....
