I have been involved in computers for ages and work in the industry. I have owned a computer since the Comodor 64 and Timex Sinclair 1000 so I have been around. Like everyone, I have always looked for bigger and better, faster and more powerful. Well this little jem of a laptop has changed all that. I love this little thing, I take it everywhere, on planes, trains, vacation. I have the EEE 901 LINUX which I modified and installed Windows XP. I have the 20GB HD with extended storage of 16GB on a SDHC card. I have all my media, music, movies and what I don't keep on the unit I can share with my desktop PC wirelessly. So far in my office I have talked three people into picking one of these up and they are all just as smitten theirs as I am with mine. Thanks ASUS for listening, this is exactly what was needed, it filled a huge hole. I honestly don't think I ill go back to a desktop PC, I'm sold :)
