Home > Consumer Reviews > ASUS Eee PC 4G (7-Inch Display, Intel Mobile Processor, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB Hard Drive, XP Home Preloaded) Pearl White

As a lightweight netbook, I thought the 4G would be great for travel. It is rugged and has good connectivity and adequate processing power for email and web browsing. However, I found the apps were space hogs, and the solid state drive was not large enough to host other things I need to do on the road (like music, videos, and pictures). By the time I brought all the paraphenalia I needed to do everything I wanted to (external drives, etc.) I found I was carrying more weight than I was with my old laptop that had space and processing power to do it all. Oh well.

***This EEE pc is slow and does not run my programs really its ok because its small and light its ok to write a document but to go on the internet,bam not to fast only 512 ram so slow better off getting a reqular laptop if your going to do stuff on it.Battery life is actually pretty good.Its compact and small and light weight but no CD DRIVE!!!! worst thing***

After much research on ultra-mobile personal computers, I decided to go for this model and bought a slightly used one. I was not disappointed. For one thing, I wanted the Windows XP operating system. I took it with me on a trip -- easy to carry -- and found that the wirless connection was really good.

This Laptop is everything I wanted and more. I did a lot of research before making this purchase, and it has paid off in full. I was looking for a very small, litewieght laptop that would allow me to connect to the internet and be able to edit some documents while I was traveling. The size and wieght of this laptop are incredible, I bought the Windows version and it boots and runs quickly. Nothing but good things to say about it.

This actually belongs to a friend now, but I used it for a couple of weeks. It does everything you want a travel PC to do. It connects to the internet well, Skype works really well with the integral camera, microphone and speakers. I had a bit of an issue when I loaded Windows Proffessional Care that I could not navigate to all parts of the screen regardless of screen resolution setting (not a problem with the 900). The battery life is good compared to the eee 900 I bought for myself. The choice on the eee is a balance between price, battery life and screen size. If battery life is everything then don't hesitate, get the 7" eee. If it isn't then the 900 is probably a better bet with its 9" screen since they are built in the same case, so weight and physical size are identical. The other point worth noting is that sound quality on the 7" is notably better because the speakers are either side of the screen rather than on the underside of the unit. To be honest, browsing the internet and listening to BBC radio online, I couldn't detect a difference in speed between this and the 900 which has more RAM and a different processor. It is worth noting that the keyboard legend is easier to read on the white eee than the black eee.
