This ultra portable pc is a winner. Its compacted, light, long battery life, multimedia ready and best of all comes pre-installed with xandros linux.

I have just installed ubuntu linux on the eeepc and I can honestly say I am amazed. Apart from a small amount of fiddling around to get wifi working everything else worked straight out of box. I have managed to get just over 4 hours of battery life out of the eeepc at the moment, which I think is fantastic. Unfortunately I’ll be selling this on ebay next month so I can purchase the newer model, being the eeepc 900

For the business type who only use windoze, I suggest that you take a look at the eeepc with Ubuntu. I can say honestly say that you will be pleasantly surprised at the ease of use not to mention the pre-installed software (Did I forget to mention that the software and OS are all FREE!).
