ASUS Eee PC 901 8.9-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB Solid State Drive, Linux, 6 Cell Battery) Fine Ebony

Childrens Toy Shop > PC Hardware > Notebooks
from: Asus


I needed a much smaller laptop to take to classes and around my college. My battery failed horribly on another laptop(a dell, actually) a long time ago, so I shot for the better battery so I could finally have a laptop that was portable.

So, this was the best option and it seems to be working out wonderfully. But, I do recommend some things to be changed, depending what type of person you are.

Linux Lite is great for someone who doesn't know a lot about linux or computers really. It just turns on, and in minutes you can get on the web and do much more. But, if you're a computer scientist like me, or you know linux pretty well, I say buy this but scrap the linux lite. There is a version of ubunutu for this laptop, just ... Read More:

Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Mini Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB Solid State Drive, Linpus Linux Lite) White

Childrens Toy Shop > PC Hardware > Notebooks
from: Acer


I've owned various used laptops before I bought this one. I was specifically looking for something light and portable, like the ThinkPad X-series. However, it was hard to find one for less than $500 that was in good condition. Then netbooks came along. After much time and research, I decided on the AA1 mainly because of build quality, and because it had a Linux-based variant.

When I received the package from BeachCamera, I got not only this computer, but a PC-to-PC File Transfer for Dummies USB dongle in a box (you can find out more about this product: PC-to-PC File Transfer for Dummies) This was not part of the order, and it's completely useless to me. It's a nice little bonus, though. Merry Christmas!

MSI Wind U100-016US 10-Inch Mini Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 3 Cell Battery) Black

Overall this is a nice little machine for the price. Unfortunately I learned after purchasing that MSI discontinued the Synaptic touch pad and is now shipping with the inferior and no doubt cheaper Sentelic touch pad which does not include the finger sliding scroll feature. This is the worst touch pad I have ever used and frankly I would not have purchased the system had I known of the swap beforehand.

This is my first time using a Mac,and I don't think I'll ever switch back to PCs again. I am only pissed that the price on Amazon is $200 cheaper. Perhaps price has come down in the past six months?

I purchased this product for purposes of reviewing the product from a forensic perspective. Interesting, thing happened on the way to doing a standard setup. the wireless on the machine did not work, obviously HP thought that they would have no failures because their staff is incapabable of troubleshooting the product over the phone. they barely recognize it is their product. If are not experienced with hardware and software I do not recommend this product!

ASUS Eee PC 900 8.9-Inch Netbook (Intel Mobile Processor, 1 GB RAM, 16 GB Solid State Drive, Linux, 4 Cell Battery) Galaxy Black

Childrens Toy Shop > PC Hardware > Notebooks
from: Asus


This laptop is one of the best new technologies out in the market right now. With the display of about 8.9'' and approximately about 3.0 pounds, it is perfect for a student to carry along to class to take notes or can be used for searching the net with wireless capabilities. Even though, understandably it comes without DVD/CD-rom drive, it featured USB capable ports for memories storing devices. With enough power to run Microsoft windows XP, it is perfect for office works and convenient for group meetings. With 6 cell batteries, it could lasts up to 7 hours for extended working times and entertainments. It has options including 1.3 mp webcam that would be ideal for long distance conversation and built in microphone for that same purpose. I strongly recommend this as a first ... Read More:

ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf (7-Inch Display, Intel Mobile Processor, 512 MB RAM, 2 GB Hard Drive, Linux Preloaded) Galaxy Black

Childrens Toy Shop > PC Hardware > Notebooks
from: Asus


I ordered a 2G surf to take with me while traveling. I was so excited about getting a small, lightweight, easy to carry little computer! The package got here, I opened it and set it up right away and then when I turned it on and the screen for the license agreement came up, I couldn't do anything - the touchpad wouldn't work at all.

I tried restarting, I called the ASUS support number, they had me press the reset button and start it up, press F9 to get back to the factory install settings, etc. But nothing worked. A couple times when trying to type 'yes' to reboot - the keyboard wouldn't work either. I need it soon for a trip - they wanted me to send it back to them to CA with one day shipping and then they said they would send me another one. I checked and it ... Read More:

Asus Eee PC 4G Surf (7-Inch Display, Intel Mobile Processor, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB Hard Drive, Linux Preloaded) Pure White

Childrens Toy Shop > PC Hardware > Notebooks
from: Asus


I had this netbook for nearly 5 months now. it is very fast and portable. the main disadvantages are that the key board is very small in a way you will hardly get adapted to it. it is very difficult or nearly impossible to download windows xp on it once it is not preloaded ( it tried with five copies of windows until now and failed). the battery only lasts 2 hours when you have the wifi on. I had no difficulty on connecting to any network. it connects to all printers with no difficulty. it switches on and off very fast. I recommend it to anybody who moves a lot as it is very portable.

MSI Wind U100-030US 10-Inch Mini Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 3 Cell Battery) Pearl White Heart

Childrens Toy Shop > PC Hardware > Notebooks
from: MSI COMPUTER


Just what I needed. The keyboard isn't much smaller than the one on my laptop, so I'm not making many keyboarding mistakes. I love being able to view a Web page without having to scroll all over the screen. It stays cool even after a long session on it. My only regret is that I don't have the six cell battery. I am looking for a way to purchase one. But as stated by another reviewer, the power adaptor and cords are plenty long. I was surprised that it came with a white zippered case that is quite nice. I have a hard time DRAGGING out my laptop now. Watch out...the Wind mini laptop can be habit-forming!
