Asus Eee PC 2G Surf Customer Users Reviews

REVIEW BY: cookie Reviewed May 01, 2008

I absolutely love this pc for mobility and ease of use. The Xandros (linux-based ) OS is very easy to use. I will recommend using the Qualified vendor list in the rear of your user manual to purchase external components. Asus Eee PC 2G Surf Fast Wifi connections, quick boot-up and shut-down time. Definitely a keeper. Outstanding for students and people on the go.

“Surpassed expectations”
By Carl D. Sickerott September 9, 2008

I was pleased with the performance of this little wonder. First thing I did was increase the RAM to 2 GB and have never looked back. As the owner of several group homes, I keep the medical records of each resident on this machine (password protected) which beats the alternative of carrying their medical folders with me for doctors visits. The only shortcoming I have found is the touch pad is to sensitive for my heavy hand, but using a small mouse solved that problem instantly. And during those long waits for the doctor the resident and I can watch movies saved to a 16 GB DS Card, LOL The screen is large enough to read and having a wireless built-in is fantastic. I am looking to buy the newer model with 16GB and windows in the near future.

“Birthday Present for my Wife”

By Evan L. Carew “mcoon”September 6, 2008

This product was a real hit with my wife. I got the Eee PC for my wife as a present so she could practice her hobby, writing, without having to lug around the weight of a full laptop. I was initially a little concerned that the Linux interface would be uncomfortable for her as she normally uses a MS Windows laptop for work, however, I shouldn’t have worried. This sub notebook is so simple to use, and easy to carry, that she hasn’t let the thing out of her sight since I got it a few weeks ago. and it doesn’t hurt that the applications save your work in files which can be read by Microsoft office when you copy them off the Asus Eee PC 2G Surf.

“Excellent purchase”
By Adam Nuszloch September 4, 2008

Using my Asus Eee PC is great. I like it for surfing the Internet and the pop up blocker is really worth it. I like the fact that only a website I allow can open a new window on my computer. Great! Also, The office programs are really nifty.Eee PC 2G Surf is easy to use in limited space making it easy to put away when not in use. It’s very fast and in my case I use the built in wi-fi to connect my high speed connection really easily. The two USB ports are nice because later on I can upgrade to CD-RW for burning mp3’s while the Monitor output will increase the viewable size connecting to my LCD TV. The Frozen bubble game is really fun. Finally, I appreciate this pc as being very affordable.

“unbelivable computer for Asus Eee PC 2G Surf price”
By J. D. McInerny September 3, 2008

For the price the Asus Eee PC 2G Surf is unbelievable. I am a “techie” Grandma that builds her own desktops and teaches basic computer skills to others. Besides being drawn by the size (my daughter a college student) finds her 15″ laptop too heavy for school and work travel, I wanted to try out the free Linux OS. Most of my “students” have very little cash resources and when I can piece together a system it almost always needs an OS. Since I have “classes” on the go I really, really like the size and weight. I routinely transport 2 15″ laptops and just slide this one in a side pocket of my computer case. Some of my “students” have had no other computer experience at all and have a very difficult time with windows. It fits in my purse and goes everywhere with me. When I have been away from home I have had no problems connecting wirelessly at coffeehouses, restaurants,hotels or at any other hot spots. My daughter will probably get one of the larger models so the college software will run on xp, and I am going to get another one soon a 900 model or more in size, more ram and a larger hard drive are almost all you can do to improve this little miracle machine. When I want a larger keyboard I might bring out a wireless one and mouse but so far after a little bit of use I haven’t had any problem adapting to the smaller keyboard and the compactness and convenience is well worth it. I could lug around one of my 14″ or 15″ laptops during the day but why do that when you have one of these for “on the go computing”. The only con is I did have to order separately a larger battery for longer life and everyone I know keeps trying to take my 2G surf including, my 2 year old granddaughter who has already fallen in love with the “bubble” game. She seems to feel it should be her’s because she says “my size puter”. In conclusion if you want a larger keyboard or whatever buy a larger computer, this one is a terrific small computer which is exactly what it was made to be.
