 Awesome!! October 22, 2008

I am actually typing this review on the Eee :)
So, I ordered the PC on Sunday, and I got it today (Wednesday) and I really am impressed.
Out of the box, the Eee PC works immediately. The internet setup is a little bit tricky - definitely set the wireless up manually, the automated wizard simply does not work - but very impressive for such a small machine.
The computer comes pre-installed with loads of software, like OpenOffice, a dictionary, PDF Reader, Email, learning tools, Skype, Pidgin IM Client, games, media players, sound recorders, WiFi and more!! Really impressive :) It can even decode my MPEG-4 iTunes music!
The unit weighs very little (I can balance it on one hand without difficulty) and has a very impressive startup time. Also - I couldn't believe the audio quality - phenomenal! Cosmetically, it also looks very sleek and stylish.
People have voiced concerns about the keyboard size - and I must admit, it is small - but two-finger-typists such as myself should have no problem adjusting fairly quickly, whereas touch typists may find it very difficult.
I'd definitely buy this model rather than the one with a webcam - it's simply not worth the extra 30 for a 0.3MP webcam. Besides, you don't notice the absence.
Overall - amazing, but touch typists may not like it.
Tom.

Have tried using two of these Asus 701 machines. Both seem to have the same problems.
Firstly they do not seem to be able to print from OpenOffice to either a Epson Stylus color400 or a HP 5500.
This is despite installing the printer drivers and adjusting every thing to A4 size paper - They do however print a perfect Test page.
Neither of the Asus 701,s will detect a Three-mobile USB modem - they either hang-up and wait and wait OR say no modem is detected. Although one of them did originally detect and install the modem.
Beleive me I have not made any changes to the manufactures set up.
Personallly I feel they are more frustrating than they are worth and wish I had bought either an Acer web-book or the Elonex version.
Give the Asus 701 a wide berth.
Excellent for what it does September 6, 2008

I agree with the consensus of favourable reviews; it is incredibly light, fast and small.
But I would note that the mouse is fiddly, the screen can be a bit shallow for complex web viewing; and the screen can break very easily indeed if you press it accidentally.
 Great, small, light, but keys are a showstopper July 21, 2008

Hi,
there s a hype around these sub-notebooks. Asus was the first and to be fair got it right for many things.
I think, before buying the Aus 4g you should clear define what you want to do.
Pro:
*very very light (< 1kg)
*small, size of a A5 book
*fast (taken in account the processor), heavily optimized linux
*clear, non-glossy screen
* lots of help on the internet, easy to tweak and exchange the OS (google is your friend).
* can be used with 3g UMTS modems within 1 minute
Cons (some not the fault of Ausus, but due to the design specification)
*small storage space (4 Gbyte). Yes, I know you can add a SD/SDHC card, but installing programs on an external drive is not trivial
* linux (not a con, but this is not a modified distro)
*"relative" expensive for the type of hardware
And here the showstopper:
The keyboard. There are small and tiny due to the overall size of the computer. But also very flimsy. Even with the one-finger system many typos.
By the way, the bigger 900 has the same keyboard.
If you want just get e-mails, a phone or a blackberry might be better.
Consider the HP 2133 which has an excellent keyboard (the best I ever have used, but this machine has other problems).

After reading magazine reviews decided to buy a 4G Linux Eee pc. I have spent the last five hours trying to connect with my Belkin Wireless Router with WPA Encryption. Eee pc finds my and all the other local networks but when I try to connect PC sits with "PENDING" displayed. I did a search and this appears to be a known problem, tried changing settings as advised by Forums and Asus FAQ withou success. I have PCs connected and got my Palm, Archos and PSP to connect in a couple of minutes. Have requested support from ASUS but they will take several days to reply
