Good product, middle battery life, slow for common use with Antivirus
(4 out of 5) by Jose Luis Parcerisa on Sep 13, 2008Installed windows xp home on it, the speed was OK until I installed an antivirus (AVG 8 cause its free), then the netbook became too slow for heavy skype use. The battery doesn't last long either, in spite of the SSD 2 Hs. 30 min, best case scenario (with the antivirus soft).
Good quality overall, I was specting a little more speed though.

(4 out of 5) by JoAnn Bigelow on Aug 24, 2008 (moran mi usa)this is great for most things but if you are windows xp on your main computer I would make sure that you also get this in windows. That was my only complacation I had.

laptop with limited ability
(3 out of 5) by R. pandit on Aug 29, 2008This laptop pc eee pc 900 has a small screen until you do not use it you do not know how uncomfortable it is to go to different websites where half of the website has some ads on it which leaves very little space under to see other info on website also it has linux system so many downloads which are downloadable if they are compatible to window xp only so you can not download softwares.I would say this pc otherwise has no problem and if you do not have problem with above issues eee pc 900 is good .

Nice toy to big guys
(4 out of 5) by Alexey Klokov on Sep 11, 2008I interesting stuff, but i expect another things. It battery is not so good, SW has a lot of bugs(crashes, freezes, ...). It starts work slowly and increase temperature. I drop it from second flour with opened flip, to the grass with water breeze. So.... it's a life, works fine!!! great crash test ))))
I recommend it, because it's good stuff for a good money.

Excited to get it!
(4 out of 5) by Financial Planning Guru on Nov 20, 2008 (Missouri USA)I haven't received mine yet. It comes to me next week as I expect and that is fine for me. My delivery time is greater because of where I live.
One reviewer mentioned that if you need IE to see some websites you are out of luck. Well, not really because you can get Crossover Office from Code Weavers and it will allow you to run Office and IE on Linux w/o a Windows license. I have it and it works great on my desktop systems. I see no reason why it wouldn't work on the Eee 900 with Linux.
Can't wait to get mine. I do financial planning and am creating a website and move about a lot doing consulting and taking notes. This will be perfect. I went to a local store before buying so I know what I am getting. I have a big MacBook Pro as my main work horse. It is fantastic but heavy to bring to my client meetings when I don't have to do major work. The Eee 900 will be a great benefit.
I will post a review when I get mine next week.
