Customer Reviews

eee pc 901 awesome
well ever since my dad got one of those fijitsu 5 inch umpc I knew I just had to get a mini laptop of my own. I'm glad that I looked into a bigger screen, even though for some reason I thought that 8.9 inches was going to be pretty big. I just got my computer today and it is excellent! It is so small! Compared to the pictures this thing is a lot smaller. But it is the perfect size. Any smaller and it would have been too small. I am actually writing this review from it right now. It runs pretty fast. Almost to exact same speed as my regular laptop. Flash games seem to play a tad bit slower. Also the keyboard is small and you DO have to get use to it. I keep having to go back and retype a few words because I hit the wrong key. But it is fun! The color is awesome. I love miniature stuff, and this has got to be the best thing to add to my collection. I highly recommend this product!!

ASUS works!
I'm a court reporter and need a small, lightweight computer - this fits the bill to a T! Fully functional yet doesn't break the back when you carry it. The fact you can get XP loaded and not that other OS is a great plus. The only thing that I find hard to get used to is the size of the keys - but if you're not using it for full-scale typing/editing and only occasional input, it's a winner. Well done, ASUS!

Eee 901 is perfect
I own a small business, and when I go on vacation several times a year, I use GoToMyPc once a day to check in briefly with my office, put out any fires, assist an employee, etc.

I was sick and tired of dragging a large and heavy laptop through airports, and bot an Eee pc 901 last week, prior to an upcoming vacation.

I got the Windows XP model,as GoToMyPC requires XP. I'd rate it a 10, far exceeding my expectations. It is well made, really solid, and works perfectly right out of the box. I wish it had XP Pro rather than XP Home, but that's minor.

I removed MS Works and some unnecessary programs to save disk space, then installed Excel and Word. Internet Explorer 6.0 was on it, so I upgraded to I E 7 to get tabbed browsing.

Since it has no CD drive, I used a 160 gb Passport drive that I already had. Using my desktop PC, I copied several software CDs and the XP support DVD that comes with the Eee onto the passport, then used the Passport to install the programs I needed.

I wish it had more disk space, but for the applications I use, there is enough. It runs fast and with no issues at all. The Passport is very small, so I'm taking it along with me too. I'm a serious photographer, mostly shooting 9 mb Raw files, and I can upload my pictures onto the Passport. I recommend getting a Logitech VX Nano mouse.

I read much about the small keys. Not an issue, period. My fingers aren't that big, but my son, who is a very big guy with big hands, used it tonight for a while, and had no trouble.

I'd highly recommend this unit for light, occasional use away from home if you don't need to run any large programs like Photoshop.
