I bought the EeePC901 mainy to pick up emails and Skype when I am travelling. I got sick and tired of lugging round a regular lap top and fiddly keyboards on mobile phones and PDAs are a pain. The Eee boots up in 30 seconds even with XP and the WiFi works well. I find the keyboard is excellent despite its size and the screen is clear and easy to read. Battery life when browsing the internet is pretty poor at 90 minutes, fortunately the charger is nice and compact.
The only niggle I have is the C drive is only 4G which is instantly full so if you do add other programs put them on the 8G D drive or add a removable drive at 10 for 8G its hard to go wrong.
My advice would be don't load this machine up with too many programs particularly processor intensive stuff like video games it is not up to it. Enjoy it for what it is a small, light, very portable PC. Perfect for the road warrior who is tired of carrying a 10lb laptop.
I love my EeePC! August 11, 2008

Good
Ultra compact & cool - Everybody who has seen it has commented!
Fast - 1GB of RAM seems to be perfectly OK - Copes well with the programs you would realistically want to run. Mega quick start up & shut down.
Keyboard - perfectly OK with keys are obviously small but I only type with two fingers so it doesn't really bother me
Battery life - I regularly get 6 hrs+ on a full charge
Forums - There is an incredible amount of info on every conceivable question you may have about EeePcs on the web - They seem to have a cult following
Bad
No CD/DVD drive - If you haven't got an external one it's a real pain to restore without it (you have to create a windows bootable flash drive from the restore disk - not as easy as it sounds!)
Bloatware - for a PC with only 12GB of storage there is a lot of rubbish - it takes about 1hr to remove all the unnecessary programs that you don't really need.
Speaker Hiss - There was really annoying crackle (not a hardware issue) with my 901 - to fix this you have to update the Bios to 1001 from the ASUS website (thanks forums)
Small C drive - As this drive is only 4gb you have to be careful otherwise it gets full & causes problems - Make sure that any programs you install are installed on the D Drive otherwise you might be sorry. Once you've installed all the updates for windows your C drive will be nearly full. You find yourself using CCleaner nearly every day.
Overall these small negatives just give the EeePc more character & I would give it an overall 4.5
stars.
