I tried one of those out. It's not good if you want a laptop. It's more of a bigger-sized PDA with wireless and a small keyboard/display. It doesn't do more than 800X600 resolution and the keyboard is smaller than standard size so it can be hard to type more than an email. The processor speed is less than 600 Mhz so it's sloooow compared to laptops these days. If you want something that you can take with you and do basic things like email, then it's okay.

I have seen $399 -$550 deals for full blown laptops. I might recommend this for the older and much younger users that have no other PC needs.

Man, I've gotta get new glasses... Every time I see this thread in the forum list, I don't read it as "asus"...

We sold over 100 of these this Christmas in our on-line store. They are extremely popular. For what they were designed for, that is simple communication in a small and very durable product, they do a great job. They were never designed anything other than to check email and surf the net, they do an excellent job of that.

If anyone is considering this, J&R has the 4 GB model on sale and in stock for the same $299.

DJ Rob, your avatar got me. I actually flicked at my screen, thinking there was a bug on it.

And that comes direct from the goddess of shopping. If there is a deal to be had, PG will find it!

I put it as a background on a web site once and had a bunch of people mad at me because of that
