 I love it!!!!! July 19, 2008
This little laptop is great! The reason I bought it was for the size and portability of it. I would have given it a 5 star rating but there may be a couple of shortcomings that after a month of owning still haven't found to dissipate. First thing would be getting the Linux version of Adobe to download, second and really the most burdening of the two would be the battery life. I've had a 15" Toshiba Satellite that ran on its own battery supply for 2 hours and the Eee pc does the same. Being more than half size smaller than the Toshiba I would expect this little puppy to @ least give me 3 hours, but it doesn't, even when I dim the back light and mute the volume.
But even with the minor gripes of this superb ultra portable its still worth buying in place of something like an iphone or Kindle. Even the higher end models like the 900 and 1000 series which go on in to(I have the 701 with the camera/4GB) the $500-600 price range is a steal considering other brands are going to cost you up into the $1000s.
I'll continue to update as I either further praise this product or find something to change my positive thoughts about it(which I doubt). And also I'm typing this review with my Eee pc.
 Infinite boot-loop ... no tech support July 18, 2008
About 3 weeks after purchasing this brick, it started rebooting itself. As time went on, it learned to enjoy the boot sequence and revisited it often -- every time it was turned on. I've been unable to locate my warranty registration card, so I can't even find out where to send it to get it fixed. The associated website is useless. There are quite a few places on the Web where discussions indicate that this rebooting problem is not unique to my machine.
If someone knows how to get this piece of granite fixed, please share!
 Why I love the eeepc 4G July 13, 2008
I bought the 4G about 4 months ago and have loved the change from hauling around a full-sized notebook. I and my family do a fair bit of international flying and you really notice it on 20 hour plus traveling marathons. I changed over to XP and used a free program called Nlite to get the install down to 1 GB. I have two small kids and I loaded up an 8 GB SD card with Pixar movies that I ripped from DVDs to mpeg 4 at about 300 to 500 MB each. It works very well as a portable DVD replacement using VLC media player (free). A video-out port instead of the D-sub would have been nice. My wife, who did not initially undersand why we needed a fifth computer, is now a believer after one trip. The low price point also helped.
The other thing I have noticed is how much I'm enjoying the form-factor when I'm not traveling. Because it is the size of a medium hardback book , I can keep it on my bedside table plugged in. The cord is long and since the power brick is at the plug you don't really notice the cord. I just prop it on my upper chest and surf away. (not a position for typing). Other times I use it on the couch or in a chair and I can get into far more comfortable positions with it than a full 6lb notebook. Basically I would rather surf with this device than any other computer. Still for serious typing, you can't beat a full sized notebook or desktop.
The 4G does not replace any of my other computers, but it is a welcome addition that has made surfing more like reading a book than sitting at a full-sized computer. I know there will be other sub-notebooks from other companies that will have bigger screens and hard drives for the same price, but this does what I want now so I'm not worried about what's down the road. Bravo ASUS!
Giant dwarf July 10, 2008
The 4G is a wonderful "take every-where computer" for a busy world. It has programs for everyone and Linux OS is simple to use and learn. I added 2gigs of memory and never look back. If you're in need of a note taker, photo keeper, email source and more look no further than the ASUS Eee PC 4G. It's a Winner !
Cute! Awesome little computer June 29, 2008
I was so excited to get the ASUS, got mine in pink, only had it for about a month now. This thing is SO fast on the internet, amazing! I have had a few incidents where it simply would not connect to wireless, which was a huge problem when it was times I was trying to use it for work. It was a bit weird using the tiny keyboard at first, I have large hands for a woman, but got used to it pretty well. I was so amazed that I could plug in my flash drive, edit a Microsoft Word doc, and save it. That was awesome, seeing that the ASUS does not have MS Office! If you're going to be out and about, be sure you charge the battery to full before you go. I'm not yet sure what max battery time I get because the times I have taken it out, I had not checked to be sure it was fully charged. I also purchased the matching mouse through Amazon, but the company who sold it charged way too much for shipping/handling (my mistake for being the sucker to pay it) and they didn't deliver in the promised time frame. I think you can get the matching mouse at Best Buy--do that! Overall, if you're looking for a lightweight on-the-go computer for basic internet, email, etc. this is cute, fun, and functional!
