i put windows xp on here and it was a really bad idea, the battery life is meant to last 2 hours, (which it probaly dose on linux) But i think windows just eats the crap outta the battery, windows xp also takes up alot of memory, it makes the laptop get very hot, More easy to get viruses, and linux actually comes with its own anti-virus which is another good thing. You get good apps like Skype, Games etc. Please people stick with linux if you have this laptop. P.S Im gonna switch back to linux.
Its not running windows you idiot... Only windows can run an executable file. I bought one, I'm a mac user and I needed a smaller computer for the road. It's great for the internet, I would suggest it for somebody who already has a desktop, or a laptop. Over all if you can afford it and need it, buy one, its a great computer!
You Suck! This is Linux bitch!! Not Shitty Windows! Its onyl popular because all manufactured Pc's in the 90's came packaged with windows, but linux is so much more quicker and more adequate. Get used to it because its taking over!
I find these tigerdirect reviews HIGHLY inaccurate. He says that the card reader supports SD/XD/ Memory stick. It only really henales SD/SDHC/MMC (Multimedia card, the same as SD, just not sold anymore)
Yeah I have a black EEE pc and it is fuckin' cool! I mean it doesn't hold my entire iTunes music library and I can't install anything else but nevertheless, the mini-laptop doesn't seem to be much of a gaming computer anyway. I'll have to buy two 8 gigabyte usb drives to fit my entire music library so I can sync my iPod to the eee pc. Until then I'll have to continue using my windows XP for my music, videos, pictures, and games and my parents Mac for making beats in GB.

ya i know the warenty on this heck if your freaken kid throws it in the pool they fix it i love that warrenty ya i will admit dells a good computer company one time my harddrive gave out on it the harddrive was 3 years old and the computer was out of warrenty and dell new it and guess what they replaced the harddrive free of charge
ok, so can someone use this to go mobile anywhere? i have no clue about anything mobile but i need something this small to take on field where ever i go and still be connected to the net.
You can use this mobile device anywhere and be connected to the internet, only if you are in range of a local WiFi connection. If you want to use internet wherever you are, you will have to buy a mobile internet card from a cell phone provider, such as Rogers or At&t. I must warn you, it will be QUITE expensive though...
i have the asus eee p.c. :D but now i'm thinking of ditching it for the MSI wind :) -- 10 inch screen, wider keyboard, 80 GB HD (not SSD) and priced almost the same as the asus e3 :)
A well-optimized Linux system will be a hell of a lot faster than a Windows one. However, most desktop Linuxes like Ubuntu are not well-optimized at all and thus boot and run quite slowly.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
'A lot faster because it uses Linux' - where on earth did you come up with that one? It's not only factually incorrect, it appears to be deliberately misleading.
You may put the argument that it is cheaper because it is Linux, and even that it is easier to use because it is Linux, but the speed? It's the CPU.
The redneck quote at the end didn´t quite work out. One of my friends just got this black surf model last week and he has already been able to instal win XP via a MEMORY CARD, very easily by the way. I´ve payed with the linux OS a bit and i was impresed by all the neet applications which were already installed.
i didn't quite understand what the hell you just said
but no matter,
asus still sucks, i will not change my mind and you could also suck my (cencored) you lovE To defend your laptop because it's so small just like your (cencored)
im done wit u, hate spending my time btw did u said ur not homo cuz u like big things (male reproductive organ) in ur mouth? wats? u must be as homo as a Mac
i love pissing other people off until they stop seriously, i don't hate ASUS but i did it with all brand at waith for someone to bite and that sucker was you
i tried dell,Vaio,Mac,HP,and Compaq but your the only one to answer ( you must be really stupid)
i just checked the price on this and it isnt worth it seeing you can probably spend about the same with more features...i mean hell there is no cd drive in the thing
I kind of like these machines , but at the same time I don't think I would ever buy one. At $349.99 I would rather add a $100-$200 and get a laptop with better specs.
i bought this laptops a few weeks ago and i was able to put a 250gig sata laptop hard drive in the bottom but it made the laptop unstable so i put some plastic legs on all the corners. I installed windows xp on the laptop using a portable cd drive which connects to the usb drive. This laptop is great and i enjoy it
