Asus Eee 4G 7" Micro Laptop PC (800 MHz Intel Celeron Processor, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB Hard Drive, Linux Preloaded) Galaxy Black reviews by customers

Not bad for what it is
I tried both the 2 GB surf and the 4 GB surf. For the extra $50, the 4 GB is a better investment, with a much larger cache and a faster processor, plus the memory can be upgraded. If the 2 GB was say, $229, I'd agree is was a good investment for modest web browsing, email, and Skype VOIP if you and your friend have a fast connection.

Unfortunately, the 2 GB barely played my MPEG4s, which was very disappointing since even a cheap player can usually play videos at a reasonable bitrate without a hitch.

The 4 GB unit played MPEG4s much better, and even tried to play videos from the NBC website, but unfortunately didn't quite have the power to keep the video playing smoothly. But at least it tried, something my wife's Nokia n800 couldn't do at all.

I also use ORB for remote viewing of my media center recordings, and with the 4 GB Asus, this was a little hit or miss.

If I could have watched online videos (NBC, TNT, CBS, FOX) without the buffering I would likely have kept one. But they're just under the wire for enough processing speed to satisfy. Still, the used market for these should create great value later when Asus comes out with their new units.

I think the niche for these devices is probably overall about $50 lower than they have set them, though certainly for someone looking for basic features and ultra portability, these are nice units. The web browser works better and is larger than a PDA and the cost is less, too.

The included OpenOffice software is very reliable, and even the 2 GB unit is compatible with a number of printers. I plugged one into an Epson R200 and it installed the needed drivers and pages printed quick and clean.

To me the ideal market for these is families needing something for their kids for homework research and even texting (Pidgin) and free VOIP (Skype). Sound with Skype is a little "tinny" but can probably be overcome with a decent quality headset.

Bottom line is, you're not getting a laptop, you're getting an extremely portable web browser with basic communication and productivity software, and don't expect a lot of power.

Asus Mini laptop
Bought this item for our college daughter for Christmas and liked it so much we got one for ourselves (the parents). Great for casual word processing (diaries) and checking your e-mail when you are traveling. Can't beat the small size. Still seeing how long the battery lasts.
