Truly, the computer era is evolving in a really fast pace. And the demands from the users are also building up. As a response to these demands, better specs are developed if not the best. And mobility poses a great factor in customer satisfaction. Many people opt for mobile computers for practicality. But the great challenge stays the same and that is to develop a a smaller laptop without sacrificing the performance or output of the computer. But as the laptop tends to be smaller it also tends to demand a higher price from consumers. That is why many rental companies are slowly growing to cater the needs of consumers who needs to use the most high tech computers without having to pay the full price.

I dont understand what all the complaining is about on the OS. The fact is that there is always a better operting system because new versions are released every 6-12 months. The Eee PC is great with what it has. I am a full time professional and a part time student. I use my Eee PC 2G surf to do all my work and browse when ever i have time. i take it everywhere i go and sometimes have to check that it still in my bag because its so tiny. If at some point I feel like i need a new one, i will not spend on upgrades because that is pointless. i will just go buy another because they are so inexpensive. See it for what it is. A great and inexpensive way to stay connected and be able to do work at a coffee shop or in my case the local bar that offers WiFi. The Eee is GREAT, plain and simple. I get great comments on it all the time and everybody want to know where to buy one.

The eeePC 900/Linux is a great little piece of hardware. The software is a bad joke.

Ubuntu-eee would probably be a far better choice for OEM installation than the brain-damaged appliance version of Xandros, I plan to upgrade to it shortly. Better-looking GUI, and there’s actually software available for it.

Asus did the mistake to contract Xandros, he says Linux but it is precisely Xandros, not the best choice. The first thing you do as a Linux professional is to replace it by an LXDE based environment and a better distribution. Asus can make users invest in expensive hardware or use more efficient software which generates less trouble for consumers. Why do many European want Linux, not Windows?

Well, an eeePC is a brand new and cool device to play and work with. You don’t want an 7 year old operating system everyone else uses and you don’t want Vista either. You want to run your essential application. You want to show it to your friends and it has to be a bit different. No one cares anymore what operating system your browser uses to access the cloud.

the serial number is 86OAAQ118505.

I have the laptop already registered in the Asus Support pages and started there the warranty inquiry. The laptop is registered for Celine Olivier.

However, the support I contacted told me that the PC has only local warranty.

I can forward you the CC receipt and sales invoice from buy.com from the US

So can I have this repaired in either Germany or Switzerland.

EeePC 901; it came with XP; real shame that there was no Nux version available, but sometimes that just comes down to complete ignorance by the retailer as to it’s availability (I asked), or the willingness of the retailer to censor an option that they do not personally perceive a consumer market for. After about a month of fiddling, firstly with pupeee, albeit with no wireless, ethernet, or bluetooth support (trying the Fedora9 live CD did get them running (and the compiz 3D desktop), but there was a problem with the screen resolution), this 901 now sports the latest Puppy 4.1 OS; everything works great, and the owner thinks that his sub-notebook is now worthy of the money he paid. On and off over the past month, he’s had it running the XP(Eee) that it came with, and more recently V(Eee)sta- now he’s finally happy; Puppy works faster (program response is vastly improved), looks better (application clarity, font definition and movie playback is superior to both XPeee and Veeesta) and we finally got the SCIM going properly (he prefers PinYing Chinese). Perhaps I can get him to send the XPeee CD back to M$ with a note enclosed “Returning your software as evidence that there is 1 less user. Reason?? It failed the Linux comparison test.”

rob: I’ve seen the Linux-based EeePCs for sale at Office Depot, which I would consider a major Canadian retailer.
