Default My Review of the ASUS EEE PC 4G

My sister recently got the Asus EEE 4G. I has 4 gigabytes of space! Not much, but it's good for doing quick work, making documents, presentations, and surfing the web. It's also very light-weight, and weighs only 2 pounds! This notebook came preinstalled with Linux. It's easy to customize the look of the "desktop". I was able to quickly add our wireless network to it and add the wireless printer. Using it was pretty simple and straight-forward. In my opinion this is a great notebook for those that are less savvy with computers. One thing I didn't like about this is that the keyboard was small. The keys are small and it takes some time getting used to typing on there. Once you get over that though it's really great using this notebook! It has the Open Office Softwaer and Google Docs on there, a must have for anyone that makes a lot of documents. With Google Docs you can access your documents online on any PC. So after saving documents in Google Docs on your ASUS, you can actually go on an office computer and still access them online. The touchpad on there is good, and very easy to use. You can scroll up and down by moving your finger up and down on the right. If you tap the touchpad it can click! I prefer to tap the touchpad instead of using the clicker because you have to push down the clicker with a little more force than you would need to put on a normal clicker. The Asus EEE 4G also has 3 USB 2.0 ports, one on the left side and two on the right. These are great for adding external devices like a USB mouse, keyboard, or DVD hardware. There is also a microphone and headphone jack, and an Ethernet port for a wired connection. This is a very great notebook for those who are on-the-go and want to carry their important documents and work around with them. I love this notebook. You can check out the specs of it below:

I think it would be pretty useful to have one of these. At least, if it had a backup battery.
*Still has his eyes on getting one because they're very shiny*

Yes, 4 GB isn't much space at all! But for a small laptop like this, it's worth it having 4 GB. You don't need to be storing too much information on to the hard drive anyway. It's meant to be used for only storing documents you need to use on the go.

The ASUS EEE PC has 2 memory slots, so the maximum is 4 gigabytes of ram. 2 x 2GB.

Default Tiny keyboards...

Unfortunately I can't even type on the Asus Eee PC because the keys are just way too small- or maybe my fingers are just too big ;-) That's one of the reasons I prefer the HP Mini Note 2133. Check out this review of it I wrote last month:
HP 2133 Mini Note Review, Specs, Videos
The new 9-inch Eee PC has up to 20GB of flash memory, but that's really not enough for a lot of users.

I did see your review for this and thought this laptop was better! If I do ever need to purchase a mini laptop, I'm getting this over the ASUS! HP sure makes great quality laptops. Did you run Windows Vista on the HP Mini Note? How did it run on there? I like Windows Vista better than Linux, would you recommend Vista on there or Linux?
