If you want to download file from the internet you may have to store them on a flash drive. If you just want to surf the net for cheap you will be happy with this. I bought this and returned it and got a ASUS with XP and 120GB hard drive, 1.6 MHz, 6 Hour battery instead. I like Linux but I could not figure out how to install my XP compatable software. I think you can install and use it on Linux but I just could not figure it out.
I carry the eee along with an external dvd burner, 110V and 12V(an option) power cords, an external HDD and a few discs in a Targus dvd carry case.Very portable. With I should have gone with the 8G model.General: I changed the OS to eee Xubuntu which feels more familiar although not much more useful. Pro's: Small, lightweight, portable with good screen resolution. Good sound thru headphones.Con's: No optical drive, keyboard not easy with big hands.
If you are looking for a high tech toy that anyone can use, this is it. Keep that in mind.
It is what it is and it is a truly awesome product. The keyboard is small, as is the memory.
Love this little guy. It is definitely NOT a full size lap top.
I also have bought a Dell Mini 9, and while I liked the keyboard better, the loss of speed and the lack of user friendliness makes the Ee PC a much better choice. It's lightning fast and oh so user friendly.
Even Grandma can easily access the internet and learn to use the software.
I replaced my broken 2 yr old HP laptop with this little mini version and could not be happier. I had a small DVD player case of my kids that we use on trips in a closet.I slipped my mini-laptop right in the vinyl case w/handles. I also love the cord - it very long and doesn't have that heavy power source box attached like my old HP. I ordered this mini-laptop as an early XMas gift for myself.I am so glad. My kids love the little mini and fight over using it all of the time.its a great little laptop and work computer. I love the size and comfort of this little work horse. I would highly recommend my little work horse.
NO problem.well worth it to have such a light and easy to use machine. It boots quickly and shuts down even quicker.so user friendly. Something that was always difficult with a full size laptop. The screen is a bit smaller than most webpages so when pulling pages some slight adjustments need to be made to see the entire screen - but again not a problem or room for concern. My favorite part is using it in bed while watching tv.when I am done - its so small it just slips in the nightstand drawer.
I love it. It fits perfectly. I am a real estate agent and the only problem so far has been w/my local associations website - I have problems w/their site and downloading their info - but I am currently working with their IT folks and should have that problem resolved. I read all the reviews so I was prepared for the small keyboard and slight issues w/key strokes. The software pre-loaded on the laptop easily converts my Office products (word/excel) and opening email w/attachments is very easy.
GET IT WITHOUT LINUX. I DIDNT REALIZE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO RECONFIGURE MY WHOLE WIRELSS SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THE LINUX. JMO ITS A GREAT LITTLE PIECE FOR JUST SURFING WEB. I HAD TO RETURN BECAUSE OF LINUX.
