- Excellent value
I feel a bit mean giving it only 4 stars as all the preceding reviews gave it full marks, but I am very pleased with it overall.

It's good points? Well it is small and light while still feeling robust - you tend to take it out and about more often than you do a laptop because it's not so much of a hassle. Firing up from cold is very quick, as is locking onto a wi-fi connection. There is plenty of useful software installed - the office features seem every bit as good as Microsoft - and the photo and video software seem to cope with anything I have needed so far.

It's bad points - well, yes it is small and fiddly and that affects the speed with which you can use it - scrolling across the screen on web pages gets annoying ... Read More:

- Very nice, ultra-portable laptop
This is an excellent little laptop. In fact, "laptop" is maybe not the word - it's almost too small to fit well on my lap. Extremely handy for travelling.

The pre-installed Xandros OS is nicely optimised for boot speed, so it'll be up and running from cold in about 30 seconds. The packaged software's more than enough for office-type use, web browsing, etc.

I have mine set up to dual-boot, using an Xubuntu installation on an SD card. This works nicely with a little tweaking (boot isn't as fast, but you get more choice of free software from the Ubuntu repositories, and the Linux development tools I'm used to). I understand they can also run Windows XP (and possibly Vista), if you're that way inclined.

- Perhaps my best buy, ever!
I bought the Eee as a second computer, since my regular laptop is just too heavy to be portable. In contrast, the Eee fits in a large handbag and weighs less than a kilo.

Having configured an advanced desktop as opposed to the more personal-organiser-style interface that is the default, I find that the battery life isn't particularly great - but it's pretty rare to be far from a power source for very long, and the Eee has so many features that make up for this.

The screen seems very small at first if you're used to a normal laptop/desktop, but once you're used to it it's perfectly fine even for web browsing and so on. Equally, you may make more typos than usual for a little while as you get used to the keyboard - but it's ... Read More:

- Best thing I have bought for ages
Its a lovely little laptop, really handy to take around with you. I spend most of y time on it when I am in bed as its so easy and light and searching the web is so much more fun. I have also become hooked on Frozen Bubbles one of the games but I can't get past level 70. A good buy

- Fantastic Machine
Well you have to able to cope with a small screen and thereby a smaller keyboard, but this is a small price to pay for such a light and quite sturdy device. It is so quick and easy to use that I can rarely be bothered to use my main PC at home anymore, and it is so portable that it is a rare journey when you do not take the notebook with you.
Excellent purchase.
