Asus Eee PC 4G Surf Celeron M 900MHz 512MB 4GB SSD 7-Inch Linux Review

I didn’t bring my laptop with me on holiday because it’s too heavy. Competition is intense for the computers at my son’s house so I’ve staked out his Asus eee pc, and I’ve really fallen for this little gadget.
I’m not a Linux user but the interface is pretty seamless and believe me, I’m not missing Windows at all. This is a subnotebook the size of a paperback book, with a 7 inch screen and a full–though slightly small–keyboard. It has a 4GB SSD and 512k of flash memory, Intel Celeron M 900 MHz processor, and no optical drive to weigh you down.
My son has Firefox on it, and LaTeX Editor, and he pops up a Unix window when he needs it for work. The eee pc came preloaded with Skype and a webcam, OpenOffice tools (documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDF reader), photo/music/video managers, a media player, integrated speakers, and some cool learning software. And of course ethernet.
I watched and laughed when my granddaughter, just turned eight, picked the Asus up one day when it was the only computer available; there was some eye-rolling (if you have an eight-year-old girl, you know what I mean) but in no time she had checked her email and was playing a game online.
Battery life is not huge but it’s respectable and you get plenty of warning that you need to plug in. Intense use doesn’t seem to be a problem, though this evening when I had four browser tabs and a few other applications open, then tried to open the “planetarium” software, the eee pc froze. I left it alone for a while and it worked the kinks out, even offering me recovery of my unsaved document (which happened to be this review).
This little object of desire would never replace my Thinkpad, but it would fit in my handbag and be the perfect traveling link to my online life. The netbook I’ve been coveting is two or even three times its size and now looks gross and huge to me, I’m SO glad I got to play with this eee pc–it has gone straight to the top of my wish list.
