Amazon.com Product Description
Get the power of a full-sized laptop in the ultra-compact ASUS Eee PC 4G Surf, which offers a full QWERTY keyboard, 7-inch screen, and preinstalled Linux operating system. (This laptop is also compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.) You'll be able to stay connected to e-mail and the Internet easily thanks to the Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g), and communicate via video chat and VoIP with the Webcam integrated into the display's bezel. Because it uses flash memory instead of a hard drive (with 4 GB of storage), the Eee PC is optimal for weathering rough handling and sharing space in overstuffed bags.

With a rapid start-up time, the Eee PC is always ready to get into action.

For the students and professionals, the Eee PC comes with a powerful selection of software to maximize personal productivity--over 40 built-in applications. The Open Office suite of software enables the user to open, edit and create documents, presentations, spreadsheets and databases that are compatible with Microsoft Office. For journalists, photographers and other professionals who need to use a computer in the field to create, to communicate and to collaborate with other colleagues, the Eee PC's combination of power, extreme portability and rugged build makes it the ideal computing solution.

It's also a great choice for young students, with a built-in Dictionary that's great for homework, and it includes two modes of intuitive graphic user interface design to accommodate both experienced and inexperienced PC users. The Eee PC also handles your digital images, movies, and music as well as Internet radio.

No technical manual required with the specially designed, user-friendly, and intuitive graphic interface.

Compact and highly portable at just 32 ounces, the Eee PC 4G has a 7-inch wide color TFT LCD with an 800 x 480-pixel resolution (WXGA). Under the hood is an 800 MHz Intel Mobile CPU with integrated Intel graphics processor, 512 MB of RAM (not expandable), and 4 GB of solid-state flash memory. With the dependable solid-state disk, you get unparalleled shock-protection and reliability. In addition to its wireless LAN, it also offers wired Fast Ethernet connectivity and a 56K modem. The Eee PC includes software for Web browsing (Firefox), e-mail, OpenOffice 2.0 for creating and editing word processing documents and spreadsheets, and a suite of other productivity software to help keep you on track.

You get three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA output for connecting to external monitors, headphone and microphone jacks, and a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot. The Eee PC measures 8.9 x 6.5 x 1.4 inches, and it weighs 32 ounces. The 4-cell, 5200 mAh battery provides up to 3.5 hours of battery life (depending on usage). It's backed by a 1 year warranty for parts and labor.

Customer Reviews

It worthes $100
I knew the company made too much profit one it, but still could not help buy got one at $390 at this beginning of the year after reading all the positive reviews.
1. Bad technical support. Emailed two questions, no answer.
2. Card reader constantly has error when it is hot in summer.
3. Less powerful cpu (actual speed 600MHz). I added 2G memory. They are useless with such cpu. Cannot properly play the popular MKV format movie.
4. It is small, but it does not fit my pocket. I don't see much difference with a normal laptop when carrying it for travel.
5. The key board is too small. Those who has a PDA with mini key board knows it.
6. I am wondering whether all those positive reviews are from the true users.

Wish I had bought a much powerful laptop at the same price I paid for this one.

Great, but some minor shortcomings.
It doesn't always connect to WiFi signals reliably... and doesn't support WPA2 encryption. As others have said, the space bar doesn't always work unless you press it right in the middle.

However, you can't beat it for convenience and price. I carry it everywhere I go because it fits in my coat pocket... it's amazing how much more work I get done as a result.

100 Days with the Asus Eee PC
Reviews of this laptop have been popping up all over the Internet for the past year now, and although they were generally favorable, I could never find a valid excuse to buy yet another computer. I'm somewhat of an amateur technology enthusiast, so I just couldn't hold out any longer. I picked up a pearl white model Eee.

After showing it off to a few friends, I got an idea. The Eee may be a neat novelty due to its size, but just how practical is it? What if I were to quit using all other laptops/computers and only use my Asus Eee PC?

To help chronical my experiment, I set up a blog where I post my daily pitfalls and triumphs with this little machine.[...]
