Perfect when travelling light weight and easy to use. Great for retrieving your e mails and not lugging around a full size lap top.

This little laptop is essentially as-promised: small, functionable, easy to use. I purchased it with college note-taking and on-the-go access in mind, and it has certainly delivered. Although slightly heavier than I originally thought (the 2 lbs. weight being a bit of an estimate), it fits perfectly in my small bag and is far more convenient than lugging around a bunch of spiral notebooks.

I am sure that many adults will find the keyboard somewhat difficult to use because of its miniature size, but my small fingers have no trouble finding the right keys. Indeed, I prefer the touch on this little guy to that of a typical desktop computer.

I have had no issues with regular tasks -- IMing, SKYPEing, internet, file transfer, sound, screen res, etc. I've yet to have an opportunity to watch any video longer than a few minutes, but I foresee no problems. Also, battery life is quite good; a combination of word processing and internet research yielded approximately 2 hrs of battery use, which brought power down to %40.

For its price, portability, and ease of use, this computer wins high marks. It's an excellent addition to my arsenal of desktop and regular laptop, and I highly reccommend it.

Sidenote: I did insert an 8G SDHC card to boost memory, a $25 fix to a very minor drawback.

Great little computer. WIN XP runs fine. I carry it to all meetings and sits next to me on the couch for quick internet searches and email. I added a 16 Gig SD and put all my music on it plus Open Office and some other programs. The major drawback is the small solid state drive at 4 gigs. You have to delete some programs or parts to have it run smoothly. I added a 1 gig Ram card and it is fast! Kudos to ASUS!

Bought for a trip to China. Wanted something small & light for
emailing and handling pictures. Worked fantastic for that.
This is a real computer you can bring along that won't weigh you down.
Didn't require much setup, there was no bloatware loaded on it.

Only downside, everyone who saw it wanted to talk about it.
It attracted a lot of attention.

Love this laptop. It could not be your only one though. But gotta love it.
