5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value!, February 2, 2009
When I bought this laptop I wasn't sure exactly what options it had because of the lack of a good summary but I went ahead and bought it anyway, at least I'd have something to take to class like all the other college students. It was great deal for me but I'll let you make your own decision. Here are some of the things I was looking for and couldn't find on the website that this computer has:
Wireless internet adapter
8GB Solid State Drive plus 10GB of online storage
MMC, SD Card reader (for more HD space)
Built in webcam and microphone
512MB RAM
Intel Mobile Processor (probably a little over .5GHz)
USB 2.0 x3
For the smaller battery, about a 2-2.5 hour life while being used,
and a place to hook up a monitor.
It's a little short of a desktop replacement but if you're looking for that, go ahead and spend $75-$100 more and get the 8.9" model or the 10" model and you can get the 160GB HD space, 1GB RAM and ability to run any program (games, ect...) But for the size and price, this little thing is extremely powerful! Hope I helped :)

2.0 out of 5 stars For Linux Power-Users Only, November 17, 2009
By S. Kates (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this PC a while ago, and have slowly grown a cultivated hatred for it. It is portable and cute and lightweight and pretty sturdy, but do NOT buy a linux-filled version, even though it is cheaper than a Windows option.

I am not a computer programmer, but I really know how to troubleshoot on both PC's and Mac's, problems that stop other people and make them give it to their techy geek friend usually just take a few minutes for me to figure out. I figured that learning how to use another GUI operating system like this port of Linux would be fine.

I was horribly wrong.

This version of linux is extremely limited. First, it's ugly, with no ability to change the background images, a shallow but pleasing and necessary feature, IMHO. Also, you can only use the programs it comes pre-installed with, basically, limited Open Office software, firefox, a PDF reader, and a few extremely useless games and media apps. The music organizer stopped working for me one day, I can not easily update flash so I can't do lots of fun online things, and a whole load of other things are limited because I find it very difficult to install software.

You don't just choose where to put it and click on boxes to install things. You have to learn about an entirely different style of installation, which is incredibly complex for the unitiated. You have to type exacting commands in order to install anything, and the resulting error messages when you screw up are just confusing, not illuminating.

I can barely do anything on it because I do not find it fun to spend hours learning a skill I do not have (what basically feels like coding) and to post perplexing errors and inexplicable problems onto message boards and wait who knows how long for a response.

Don't think this operating system is easy-to-use. It is only for people with previous experience with Linux on the command prompt level! Not for casual Windows/Mac users or people who dislike learning new languages and constructs in order to install basic software!

3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work out of the Urban setting, September 17, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
We live in a rural ranch community in the mountains of Colorado. The mini laptop would not work up here even though we have satellite internet connection.?? I ordered and returned 2 and then the 3rd one worked downtown only also, but since it was for my son-in-law is temp down there for work, it works for him...he loves it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this junk from Target through Amazon.
If you think buying from Target through Amazon and getting Target service, think again. This Eee PC was purchased as a Christmas gift for me. Read more
