little talk :cant control myself.this devil is so small and so light weight that you can carry it in small bag.It takes that place in my bag where i used to keep my tiffin box

RESOLUTION:The doesnt have glossy, high contrast display but the backlight and bright 7" LCD @ resolution of 800 x 480 gives enjoyable reading experience.
Touch pad:very sensitive .works more than expectation!
keyboard:keyboard on the Eee PC is remarkably firm, though the keys are small and have a large degree of “wiggle” when pressed.works good.its surprising to watch fully functional k/b in such small space.
Speaker:sound quality is Awesome however the sound O/p is small.what more can we expect .we cant expect it to deliver sound to our 5.1 or 7.1 speakers
Thus one more E got complete!!
performance:

Startup: ~12 seconds
Starting playback on a 700MB AVI video file: ~3 seconds
Starting the Open Office application: ~6 seconds
Opening a 3.64MB PDF document: ~3 seconds
Opening a 2.35MB PowerPoint presentation: ~10 seconds

You seem to have posted this review on all the forums on the internet!!!
By the way, tell me honestly, is it easy to read and write from such a small screen. And doesn't the resolution cause problem while surfing the net?

Not that big a problem.It definitely is small, but the resolution kinda grows on you. Also, when I am surfing I generally increase the resolution to 800X600 so it is much better

Thanks buddy. I have been waiting for the eeePC 900 to be released in India. But if it doesn't within a month or so( as soon as I can sell my Desktop), I will buy this.
By the way, my main requirements will be- making assignments on OO writer, surfing and reading eBooks, articles. Hope it suits me. The main reason I shall be buying this is because of the portability it offers. Plus it will be fun to see the look on people's face when I take it out of my Back pack( where it is along with other books) while they are carrying around a separate 8 kg laptop+bag. Obviously they will be using it for the same things as me, just spending twice as much money and carrying 7-8 times the weight :-)
