Well, despite my previous remarks about the poor language used by Asus on their EeePC home page, they obviously had some effect on me, as I bought one for Faye for her birthday.

Not only that, but having set the EeePC 900 up and watched Faye break it in, I was so impressed that I went straight out and bought one for myself

They are awesome; perfect for just leaving by the sofa / bed for those moments you want to send emails, check product web pages, add blog entries (yup - this one included), or just sling it in your daddy-bag (Josh - you know what I mean ) for impromptu browsing on the move.

While I wouldn't type a novel on the compact keyboard (which I am getting used to), it is perfectly usable.

Yes - I'd reccomend it to anyone looking for a truly portable laptop. Well done Asus.

Oh, and its less than 1kg, so even women can carry it.
