Hardware, Embedded Systems A review of the Asus EeePC. It concludes: "The Eee PC may be targeted at children and students, but it should also entice anyone needing a compact, low cost, yet fully functional PC. It is featherweight, far easier to use than a Windows machine, starts up three times faster, and costs about a quarter of anything in its weight class."

Happy that I had to buy more storage just to make full use of the device? That doesn't sound very fun. By reformatting the built in storage to one big partition, I get an extra gig of space and way more flexibility without buying anything.

If you dont fit the target user profile obviously you're going to have to expand it or otherwise fiddle with it in some way.
