- Even better than expected
- Boots in no time. No crashes. Quite quiet. Tolerable battery life time. Weighs next to nothing.

- Generally very good, though still have some problem.
- It is very very cool. Everything is PERFECT except:
1. The linux system is way too simple and do not have enough packages to compile softwares, that is, you have to install these packages with pain. But anyway, there is lots of sources of open sources compiled softwares for eeepc to use online.
2. Don't install KDE desktop from Xandros or Debian sources, which is incompatible with the machine and make you machine down. Use the Tuxfamily's source.
3. It only support SD/MMC cards. Support SDHC card poorly that sometimes destroy your card. - 2008-07-26, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- disgusted with asus
- i ASUS Eee PC 900 20G (8.9" Display, 900 MHz Intel Mobile CPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB Solid State Drive, Linux, 4 Cell Battery) Galaxy Black
After reading reviews for a couple of weeks, I purchased a eeepc900. i was happy with the size and the quality of the screen image, but linux is just useless. i had no idea that there are so many things you can't do, and the eeepc seems impossible to upgrade without first adding windows xp, which i'll do next week. anyway, i think asus is a terrible company because after just two weeks of this 900 version, they put out a 16g version, with xp, for $150 less than i paid. there's no way to return mine, because by the time i pay the restocking fee, i've already lost the money. i really, really wish i had waited for a MSI. dont buy eeepc. i made a mistake with this purchase. - 2008-07-21, 4 of 15 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- A great portable computer
- This is a great, cheap portable computer. It is light, fast and does exactly what I need it to do. I wanted something to write, read email, and watch shows on the train. Perfect.

- Why I love my ASUS Eee PC 900 20g (8.9 inch Display)
- First..thanks to everyone that wrote a review, it helped in my purchasing decision. I chose this laptop for a number of reasons:
My Toshiba Satellite of about 4 yrs died in the middle of a final paper for class.
My sister purchased a HP laptop that came pre-installed with Vista (hated it!!)
My daughter has a macbook and we love it!!
Finally - I wanted to try out Linux and I wanted a smaller subnotebook, after lugging around a 15 inch toshiba...it was time for a change!
I researched this baby for about 3 months. Everyday..reading reviews, calling my fellow techie friends asking their input..finally I realized no one could talk me out of buying my baby mac..(that is what I called it)..of course like some people I had a great justification for purchasing my new toy...well..its a graduation gift to me from me, and well..um..I wanted to get macbook, but this is MUCH cheaper...and most important..I wanted to try out Linux ..thanks to GWBush - I bought it!!!
The keyboard is small, but hey, like anything in life, I got use to it...I have read lot of complaints about users with the XP version..hmm..HELLO..MICROSOFT!!! I am so quickly moving away from XP to Linux! Besides I am a google user - I typed all of my papers in google documents...I love Mozilla...so..yes I love my new toy...I just drop it into my bag - yes I am a woman that carries a big bag so this is perfect.
I am able to watch streaming videos on youtube and my online movie sites...listen to streaming music - just hook it up to my speakers...hey..my own stereo system!!
My advice - dont use XP - go with Linux!! - 2008-07-17, 4 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
