I should have waited...

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: intel atom,bluetooth,battery life
Cons: small keyboard
Opinion:
I already got the Asus 900... I wish I waited for this one. Tha intel atom processor doesn't run as hot and the baterry life is superb. The bluetooth also comes in handy. Hmmm... upgrade?

Great potential, falling short of a spacious storage drive and small screen.

Dec 8, 2008

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: 802.11n wifi, Intel Atom processor
Cons: Small 8.9" display, limited SSD storage
Opinion:
For a company that is one of the pioneers in the netbook series, it is hard to give the Eee PC a deserving score of 8.

To start with, there is only 12GB of drive space, hardly enough in storage capacity. Then there is the small 8.9" screen - it's like looking at a bug through an overpriced mirror.

You are better off with the MSI Wind or Lenovo S10 at alittle over the current asking price of the Eee PC.

Very good upgrade to the original version...

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Surprisingly fast considering its specs...
Cons: Price lands it into low-end full-featured laptops...
Opinion:
I tried this unit on display during a recent trip in the States... and oh boy it's a faster version of the original Eee pc. for a netbook, it opens MS Office applications fast... boot time is decent as well, and keyboard is usable. The downside during my brief use - practically nothing, for a netbook. However, at this price, the question of the moment is - would you settle for this unit versus a full-featured, low-end laptop running on Pentium Pro? As a second laptop, this is great. But as a first laptop for users moving from desktop, not quite.
