(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).

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).

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).

Customer Reviews

Great little machine (2008-10-24)
I have always had notebooks, several different major brands, and lugged them around airports and Europe.
Then I saw a fella with one of these in an aiport, looked good, and I ordered it. I'll never go back to another laptop. This does everything I ever did with a Windows machine, and just as fast. 512k seems like the 3 gigs on a Windows computer. For surfing the web, reading emails, speadsheets, word processing, and so on, save yourself the Windows headaches and get this liitle gem, and get it cheap!!!

ASUS EEE (2008-10-24)
I returned the ASUS EEE and purchased an Acer Aspire One. The ASUS feels as if it was made for a child and appears cheap. The performance was sluggish on the internet.
I'm much happier with the Acer Aspire One - it has more bang for the buck.

A great little laptop (2008-10-13)
I purchased the asus eee pc 2GB surf a month ago. I love this little laptop. It is easy to use and the size makes it a joy to take with you where ever you may go.
It picks up wireless sites wonderfully and it is amazingly fast as you surf the net.
I have not regretted my purchase and would recommend this laptop to anyone.

Simple and Easy (2008-10-12)
Certainly easy to use, despite never having used a similar operating system. Its built in wireless card has a very good range, and picks up networks my desktop didn't know existed. Very handy for use in a college setting, as it lighter than my notebooks and smaller as well. If I'm carrying around 3 textbooks I don't want something bulky or heavy. Great for the simplest of things: notes, homework, and internet. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone's primary computer, but it's really handy in traveling and around campus.

Screen size is small, but that's easy to get used to. Keyboard is small as well, but that's also pretty easy to adjust to.

All in all, a great deal for a laptop to take care of your basic needs.

Great item for the price (2008-10-06)
I am enjoying my Asus EEE pc. I am still getting use to the small keyboard but other than that I love it. It is so small and portable I can take it anywhere. There is a problem with the battery life though. For me it did not last more than 30 minutes so I would suggest you take the power cord with you and look for an outlet wherever you go. The software package that come with it are equivalent to what you would use from Microsoft. I will eventually have to load windows xp because it is difficult to add other software programs to this linux os system or sometimes to even view certain graphics online that require a download or plugin.
