Confirmed purchaser

Score 5.0/10

Good points:: Very good battery life. Quick start up. Great portability.
Bad points:: Very poor build quality. Within 2 days of use a key fell off the keyboard, making it ineffective as a portable device for me. The keyboard layout is difficult to get used to, particularly for those who touchtype as the Shift keys were in awkward positions.

Craig, London Computer Student

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: The size, battery life and performance, (thanks to the Intel Atom CPU) make this an excellent option for mobile use and a great second PC.
Bad points:: These are minor: The wireless NIC is not true 802.11n. The shift button on the right hand side could have been bigger. And the "Eee PC" letters underneath the screen could have been glued on better as my 'C' fell off within the first 2 weeks. The option to have a single partition instead of two (which is the default) when using the supplied ASUS install disc.
