Get the power of a full-sized laptop in the ultra-compact ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf, which offers a full QWERTY keyboard, 7-inch screen, and preinstalled Linux operating system. (This laptop is also compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.) You'll be able to stay connected to email and the Internet easily thanks to the Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g).

This 2 GB Surf model does not include an integrated Webcam.

The 2G Surf comes in a number of colors: blush pink, galaxy black, sky blue, and lush green. | For the students and professionals, the Eee PC comes with a powerful selection of software to maximize personal productivity--over 40 built-in applications. The Open Office suite of software enables the user to open, edit and create documents, presentations, spreadsheets and databases that are compatible with Microsoft Office. For journalists, photographers and other professionals who need to use a computer in the field to create, to communicate and to collaborate with other colleagues, the Eee PC's combination of power, extreme portability and rugged build makes it the ideal computing solution. It's also a great choice for young students, with a built-in Dictionary that's great for homework, and it includes two modes of intuitive graphic user interface design to accommodate both experienced and inexperienced PC users. The Eee PC also handles your digital images, movies, and music as well as Internet radio. 
No technical manual required with the specially designed, user-friendly, and intuitive graphic interface. | Compact and highly portable at just 32 ounces, the Eee PC 2G has a 7-inch wide color TFT LCD with an 800 x 480-pixel resolution (WXGA). Under the hood is a 800 MHz Intel Mobile CPU with integrated Intel graphics processor, 512 MB of RAM (not expandable), and 2 GB of solid-state flash memory. With the dependable solid-state disk, you get unparalleled shock-protection and reliability. In addition to its wireless LAN, it also offers wired Fast Ethernet (10/100) connectivity and a 56K modem. The Eee PC includes software for Web browsing (Firefox), email, OpenOffice 2.0 for creating and editing word processing documents and spreadsheets, and a suite of other productivity software to help keep you on track. You get three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA output for connecting to external monitors, headphone and microphone jacks, and a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot. The Eee PC measures 8.9 x 6.5 x 1.4 inches, and it weighs 32 ounces. The 4-cell, 4400 mAh battery provides up to 2.8 hours of battery life (depending on usage).

 Does what I want it to do October 6, 2008
Blaze L. Varone (Rhode Island, USA)
I bought this computer because it's cheap, small and light. I needed something portable to write class papers on. The ASUS is what I got and it does what I want it to do. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Accessory Recommendation: I recommend buying an SD card to store your files on. They are cheap, will save your memory and make transferring files easy. You can get them at almost any department store or electronics store. Amazon has very good prices on SD cards too.
 Eee won't connect to Wireless October 5, 2008
S. Carithers (Georgia)
I'm pretty sure mine is going back. I've been under the dreadful "pending status" now all but a few seconds. I don't have time for this type of stress. Will be shipping it back and either waiting or going with something that doesn't have these bugs.
 It's small, it's fast enough and gosh, it's darn cute October 3, 2008

I bought this little thing because I was headed to Europe for a little vacation and I had just enrolled in an online course. I wanted light weight and small and at just about 2lbs it fit very nicely in my backpack. I wanted something that started up quickly (average time so far is just 26 seconds plus another 15 to find and connect to wireless) so I was happy to have it running Linux. It really works well (so far) in fact now that I am home it sits on the kitchen counter so I can log on with my first cup of coffee and get my email.
Are there any dislikes? It does get a little warm and the keyboard is small but I don't touch type very fast anyway so no problem. I attached a mini USB mouse and that really helps as the touch pad is small too (although big enough, really). I even watched a movie I had loaded on my USB thumb drive and it was great!. So if you want a second computer to just have available whenever, its a good solution.

I had to return the first PC because it quit working. The second one had more packing material and seals. It makes me wonder if the first one was used.

I find the keyboard for this computer very intractable - not to mention too small to ever use the home keys. But even after I "hunt and peck" type a line, I have to go back and fill in many letters. I thought at first it was just my problem but others who have used it say the same thing. There is an adjustment for "keypad touch" in the computer's settings but not for "keyboard touch" so I don't see a solution. There must be something wrong with my specific computer because I have not noticed anyone else mentioning it in a review; therefore, it must not be a general design flaw. I also notice that if I do not use it on AC power, the battery just drains almost immediately as I am e-mailing. Had I to do it over again, I would not purchase this computer. I got it just for e-mailing while I'm traveling but it's so time consuming because of the difficulty with the keyboard that my travel companions chose to PAY to use the computers in the lobby of the hotels rather than use mine FREE. I don't think I will take it with me again so I'm stuck with a $300 purchase that I do not want.
