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."

sounds like people are expecting more from the device then is evidence for.

if one want storage, go for the 8GB or grab a extra card.

i would not call playing a full length movie on this one excepted use out of the box.

its more of a web device then a full on laptop given the specs.

Of course that's expected use. It comes with a media player, and it plays all videos I've tried flawlessly, including DVD quality movies. The hardware can handle that no problem.

no dvd drive, limited storage?
i would say the media player is more for small stuff off the net then full length movies...
