The Asus Eee pc is a ultraportable pc and weight in about 2 pounds with a 7" screen. It created a buzz when it first came to market due to its size and weight. In order to keep the price low, Asus choose Linux as its OS.
My wife is looking for a notebook computer for school, she wants small size and cheap. So I had been searching in the Internet and come across the above article from slashdot.org and other sites for review of this computer. I think the Eee pc really fits her need. Therefore, I place an order on Amazon.com for one. The total cost was $349.99 included free shipping. it is a pretty good deal. Her computer arrived 2 days later delivered by UPS. The setup time is fast just a couple of minutes since everything came pre-installed. This Eee pc came with Open Office software which similar to Microsoft Office as well as anti-virus. The GUI is pretty direct and intuitive that is good for her because she is a computer novice. The only negative is its keyboard,
very crammed and small. Other than that, she is very happy with this computer.
