 Almost perfect ! [review about goods and bads] August 24, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Don't read bad reviews (one star ones), are from people with bad skills in computers.
THE GOOD:
> Little machine that you can put even under your long coat
> Low power consuption (my powerful desktop pc is like a dragon)
[note: imagine a world with 34 Watts computers, this will cause more inexpensive energy prices, low oil prices, less CO2 = less hurricanes and inundations, my powerful desktop pc consumes 350 Watts. Now my energy bill goes down using the eee pc, and I can leave it downloading stuff 24 hours]
> High screen resolution with small pixels (1024 x 600 8.9'')
> Browse web pages without need the horizontal scrolling (due to 1024px)
> Easy to handle with your hands (very confortable at the pivot)
> Web cam and microphone integrated
> Jacks for your earphones and microphone
> VGA output
> 3 USB ports, 1 SD/MMC card port, 1 ethernet port
> Wifi integrated
> You can upgrade it (ram, etc.I buy a touch screen for this little machine)
[note: there are unused/used internals usb ports. if you know about electronics (im engineer) you can use it to put some internal upgrades and/or use usbhubs, look for instructions on the web]
> Perfect and easy to read instrucctions
> You can install windows xp using a usb memory or a sd card (instructions in the web), even with ubuntu and compiz ;-), or if you are not so skilled in computers, using a usb-dvd unit
> Video hardware supports 3D applications (not a nVidia card but works)
> very light (two pounds)
THE BAD:
> Heatsinks are below of the keyboard and the pad (you can feel the heat), video processor and bridge chips consumes a lot of power = HEAT
> You need like a week to use the keyboard like a pro (of course, is little)
> Battery life 2.5 hours only (I buy this and not the eee 901 since I don't care about battery life because *I use it at home* and the celeron processor is faster than the atom ). Anyway you can find a 10400mAH battery for 40 dollars (7 hours of batery life!)
[note: I'm not totally sure about performance vs atom, since some benchmarks said that the 901 is faster, and others said that the celeron is faster than the atom, but then WHY THEY CHANGE BACK TO THE CELERON M with the avanced models like eee pc 904HD ? ]
> Pads buttons fells cheapee
> No caps led diodes indicators (you need to install a app like firstcap in xp) and for linux there is one in the dvd (included)
> No integrated bluetooth (the eee pc 901 have it)
> No DVD burner/reader (of course, there is no space to put one)
RECOMENDATIONS:
> Change the desktop colors to 16 bits (increase perfomance a little, battery life a little too, and reduce heat)
> Reduce the screen brightness
> Turn off virtual memory (with 1GB of RAM, it is not necesary)
> Turn off unnecesary windows services (annoying and memory eaters)
> Delete all windows unnecesary files (like drivers that you will never need, like virtual memory, they use a lot of hard disk space)
> Buy a inexpensive usb bluetooth device if you need it (you can find it at amazon, they are very tiny *for laptops*)
> Buy the 10400mAH battery if you need more battery life (more money *40* but it worth)
> Install both, windows xp and linux http://www.eeebuntu.org/, with compiz too for 3d desktop stuff
> Buy a 32 GB SD card or extra storage if you need it (not necesary at all) = more money
> Get and install the touch screen (optional but trekkies like me love it) = more money too
> Buy a slim usb dvd-rw, usb powered (more bucks, not necesary at all)
> Asus are launching advanced eee pcs every month, SO YOU CAN REPENT OF WASTE YOUR MONEY and not wait a little bit. VERY BAD TACTIC MARKET. Anyway THIS IS THE MOST SUPPORTED EEE PC now, you can find a lot of things from fans to touch screens and internal upgrades.
OVERALL 4.8 OF 5
THIS LITTLE NOTEBOOK, IT IS A ULTRAPORTABLE DEVICE ! some people expect 120GB or hard disk, 2GB of ram, 256MB of video memory, etc. If this is your desire, buy a laptop with thats features, not this one.
Great purchase! August 23, 2008

This is one of the best purchases I've made. It is the perfect travel computer for checking emails and archiving digital photos without lugging a big heavy laptop through the airport.
Fantastic little machine ready to go anywhere you are! August 7, 2008

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RM1TN6CXDYUDY I'm Christian and I'm reviewing the eeePC 900 (which I love!) for an online talk show, GoodDayJoplin.net
Hopefully the review is helpful to you! This laptop is an amazing little laptop that can do anything a regular computer can. Give it a try, you'll probably like it.
Very satisfied August 4, 2008

The Eee Pc is an amazing machine. I did not have problems with the keyboard, as this is one of the problems that people talk more about: since I am a woman, I guess my fingers are smaller and they work well with the small keyboard. The OS is amazing. I only had difficulties to make it work with other languages (ie. Portuguese and Spanish) but after some Google search it is working perfectly well. I wish the battery was longer, though, and that it had 3G, so if you have time, maybe it is a good idea to wait for the next generation.
Asus EEE PC 900 Linux July 31, 2008

The computer is easy to use and easy to carry with you.
It is a great Nettop. It responds well with the original configuration.
I increased the ram from 1GB to 2GB and changed the version of Linux I use. The original operating system Xandros is easy to use and reponsive. But, with the amount of free software or OS's out there, I decided to try something different. Ubuntu Linux works well.I'm very happy with my purchase. The only downside is the fact that the priced dropped 2 weeks after i bought it.
