Customer Reviews
Great netbook, but needs upgrades to run XP
This model runs linux very well, I tried the included Xandros linux and also tried Ubuntu-EEE. Both are speedy on this model, have attractive interfaces, and include an impressive number of applications. Unfortunately I couldn't find a printer driver for my Canon MP970, and couldn't seem to connect to the shared drives on my Windows Home Server. The windows remote desktop application in linux didn't seem all that great either, so I decided that my computing needs were just too windows-centric to live with linux.
If you're thinking of buying this model to get more drive space over the XP version, and then installing XP, don't bother. This model has two solid state drives (SSDs): a 4GB SSD with fast 30 MB/s read/write speeds and a slower 16GB SSD with 30 MB/s read and 12MB/s write speeds. The 4GB SSD is too small to fit XP, and the 16GB SSD is too slow. I tried moving the "Program Files" and "Documents and Settings" directory to the 16GB drive and the system was constantly hanging because of slow writes to the 16GB drive. An OEM version of XP will cost you $100. My advice is to instead buy the XP version of the 901, plus a 2GB RAM upgrade ($30), and a 16GB Runcore SSD ($70). That will run XP like a champ. If you want to spend less to run XP, then buy a hard drive based EEE PC instead.
The keyboard on this model is spongy in the middle and the keys are very small and close together. Even so, after a bit of practice I am able to touch type on it. There are threads on the eeeuser.com forum on how to make the keyboard less spongy by putting layers of aluminum foil under it.
After installing XP, I took the 901 with me on a trip and it was great! I was able to remote desktop to my computer at work, check my personal email and skype home to the family (something I'm not allowed to do with my work laptop). I didn't miss lugging around a 7-lb brick one bit. I had room in my notebook bag for this and my kindle, and my shoulder and back weren't sore.
When I'm not traveling, the EEE PC 901 sits on my nightstand for use as an internet appliance, and for syncing my iPod shuffle. It's a great little gadget.
AMAZING laptop for the price
I am very, very pleased with this computer. A few days after purchase, I replaced the default OS with Kubuntu 8.10 (KDE4) (just because it is what I am used to), which works phenomenally well on such a tiny machine. With wireless on and full screen brightness I get about 5 hours of battery life with Kubunutu.The keyboard takes a little getting used to, but it's no big-deal... I've been recommending this laptop to all my friends in the market for a new one.
Cute little machine
Bought this netbook as a 2nd laptop for use on-the-go. That was a week ago. Haven't touched my 17" laptop since.
Don't underestimate this little machine. It fires up in no time. The screen is bright comfortable in use, and large enough to display virtually any webpage. The batteries are awesome and allow for hours and hours of use. Essential for a mobile machine like this (I'd advise against buying a cheaper model with less battery capacity.)
Prior to buying, I had some worries about the keyboard being too small. This - for my size of fingers at least - turned out not to be a problem at all. The two-finger scrolling and zooming-in functionality of the mousepad is great. (One small problem: would like to reduce the sensitivity of the mousepad somewhat, but that seems not possible, at least not in a straightforward way).
Last but not least: I never worked with a Unix machine, yet this laptop is very intuitive and really easy to use.
My best computer buy in ages.
