Only a 3 cell battery

Otherwise a fairly decent netbook for the price.

boo....

Does anyone know if this would be at least dequate for an 11 year old who likes to play games online and do a little typing for school? I don't honestly know enough about computers to be able to tell...

I like NOTEbooks better.

Oh well. We're not all college students.

I have one, but it has a ten hour battery life. Even that isn't really enough. For only a three hour battery life, don't even bother, because the only reason to use netbooks is when out and about where an outlet is hard to come by.

How would this be for watching videos online? Netflix for example.

Would be great for that. I have one, can handle quite a bit. Wait. Games? No. Not really. Typing and internet? Absolutely. Even light photoshop.

Online flash games, yes. Regular installed games, probably not unless they are a few years old (think 2003 or older).

But perfect for Word, Excel, etc.

Already have one - got it last time for $199. a decent little machine, but definitely get a mouse: the touchpad response is fairweathered.

plus you can't use Eee PC's while they are plugged in or the AC adapter will overheat...unless they fixed that

Is it bacon flavor??? I WANT BACON!!!!

Do they ever do two bags of carrots in one woot off?

Got the 250GB one on the netbook blowout a couple weeks ago.

Turn all the system resourses to minimum and you can easily stream netflix/hulu/etc.

I love this little netbook. Though the battery life with wireless on is not even remotely 3 hours.

Build quality is excellent. Makes me want to trade in my 17" HP notebook for an ASUS.

Bought one and got it today. Screen is gray only. Can view with external monitor, but the built in display is broken. Contacted Asus and hope to get a new one. Let's hope Asus' customer support is adequate. Could contact woot, but that would just give me my money back.
