ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf (7-Inch Display, Intel Mobile Processor, 512 MB RAM, 2 GB Hard Drive, Linux Preloaded) Pure White Reviews
The unit would not connect with my Linksys WiFi router properly and the battery life was an hour less than advertised.
Now I am really sad. I tried restarting, I called the ASUS support number, they had me press the reset button and start it up, press F9 to get back to the factory install settings, etc. I bought it through a 3rd party here for $249. They said they will pick it up tomorrow.
I was so excited about getting a small, lightweight, easy to carry little computer. Now I don't know if I want to take a chance with another one of these or not or find another brand of mini-notebook. But nothing worked. I didn't expect it to function like a full laptop, but I expected it to at least work. On the plus side - it started up quickly, as far as the startup went anyway. I called the shop from Amazon that I ordered it from and said I wanted to return it. I was really looking forward to using this little guy.
I need it soon for a trip - they wanted me to send it back to them to CA with one day shipping and then they said they would send me another one. A couple times when trying to type 'yes' to reboot - the keyboard wouldn't work either. I checked and it would have cost me $89 to send it there with 1 day shipping.
I ordered a 2G surf to take with me while traveling. The package got here, I opened it and set it up right away and then when I turned it on and the screen for the license agreement came up, I couldn't do anything - the touchpad wouldn't work at all. I could drive down the street and buy one for $299 from Target and it would cost less than sending this one back. And I don't think the size of the keyboard would have bothered me.
I wanted small and sturdy and cheap - just to travel with now and then.
This is perfect for traveling anywhere be it on a bus, subway or plane. I would add that the WHITE color is beautiful and looks like a cool mini-mac. This is the kind of laptop to buy if you are happy to use things the way they come and don't need to download new programs, skins, browsers or applications. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a light, portable computer.
People come up to me all the time to ask what kind of computer it is, and I get compliments and comments on this laptop almost daily. It has reached and surpassed all of my expectations. The online forum support for EEE pcs and Linux are helpful but involve a lot of time to figure everything. For anyone who doesn't like lugging a laptop around (and 90% of laptops today ARE a task to carry around) this is perfect. One small disadvantage is that the laptop comes with Linux. I bought it as a simple portable computer that I could use to type notes on, surf the internet, use a flash and occasionally skype with.
I have heard some people comment that it fazes the line between a PDA and a laptop. It has all the general functions of a computer tucked into a neat package that weighs under 2 pounds. I can whip out my computer at a coffee shop, at the mall or at a presentation and get internet connections in under 2 minutes. I am incredibly happy with this product. But this is not a large cellphone - it is a mini laptop. It is super convenient and the price is definitely right.
For those who aren't used to programming, or those who simply don't want to get involved in complex applciations, it makes downloading new software and performing more complicated tasks very difficult.
I am delighted with this little notebook. The downside is a very small keyboard. It has the essential tools tht I need: its version of Microsoft word and powerpoint. At the price, it's a bargain. It's great for accessing e-mail while I have coffee in a Starbuck's. The small screen makes it difficult to find various "windows" when I'm on the internet retrieving e-mail. One should also pick up an external CD ROM since this occasionally comes in handy.
Also, I love Linux and will be replacing Windows with it on a couple of my desktop computers. That's what I got. I wanted a durable, portable computer that I could easily transport. It boots quickly, and I've never had a software failure.
512k seems like the 3 gigs on a Windows computer. This does everything I ever did with a Windows machine, and just as fast. For surfing the web, reading emails, speadsheets, word processing, and so on, save yourself the Windows headaches and get this liitle gem, and get it cheap. I have always had notebooks, several different major brands, and lugged them around airports and Europe. Then I saw a fella with one of these in an aiport, looked good, and I ordered it. I'll never go back to another laptop.
