3.0 out of 5 stars Almost Great, 2 Feb 2009
By T. Clark "Berean" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: ASUS Eee PC 901 RP001X Netbook, Windows XP Preloaded, 1GB RAM, 12GB SSD (Pink) (Electronics)
I bought this machine for my wife to use as a browser/emailer and in that respect it is fantastic and she luurrrrves it!

However, although it is very pretty and ultra portable device it does have a MAJOR drawback and that is the hard drive. Really I should say "lack" of because, of course, this machine uses solid-state or "flash" memory instead of traditional HDDs. When I decided to buy this model it was one of the main reasons I chose it - faster boot speed, less battery use, etc.

But when it arrived the fist thing I noticed was the partitions - the drive is marketed as 12GB in reality it is two drives, one 4GB (faster) system drive and a second (slower i.e. cheaper) 8GB drive. With windows XP installed on the smaller partition it is almost impossible run the machine successfully. After all the required updates and service packs installed the system drive bloats to over 3GB.

I tried various things to free up space. I had to uninstall most of the proprietary software to get a reasonable performance from it. Don't even try and move profiles or temp files to the D: drive as this only slows things down even more. Because of the flash drive the system does not rely on a swap file, this doesn't seem to matter too much until you get down to only a few hundred meg.

At one point my drive C: only had 87meg left at which point I gave up and reformatted the thing. Don't even think about installing other software on it - especially anything like MS office, it will just grind to a halt.

Having said all the above I have to admit that my wife loves it and it is indeed a great little machine. To get the most from it I would recommend the following:

- Uninstall everything you don't need.
- Don't install office!
- Don't use it to replace your laptop.
- Buy and external CD/DVD drive. Such as: Slimline USB External CDRW DVDROM Drive

Just one other thing... The battery life is phenomenal, we get 5-7 hours of one charge.

3.0 out of 5 stars Keyboard broke after only 5 months, 24 Jan 2009
By J. D. Harrop "Jon Harrop" (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: ASUS Eee PC 901 RP001X Netbook, Windows XP Preloaded, 1GB RAM, 12GB SSD (Pink) (Electronics)
I originally gave this netbook a rave 5 star review because it is a fantastic little computer (especially for girls!). However, the keyboard just broke after only 5 months of casual so I'm downgrading my review to 3 stars. Hopefully Amazon will refund me so that I can buy a better replacement for my wife.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab!, 20 Mar 2009
By Laura (Leeds UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ASUS Eee PC 901 RP001X Netbook, Windows XP Preloaded, 1GB RAM, 12GB SSD (Pink) (Electronics)
This pc is fab. I got it as a second laptop for browsing the internet etc as my boyfriend has taken over my main laptop for his gaming! It's quick to start up & does everything I need it to basically. I am glad however that I payed extra for windows as when I need to I can bring my work home or just as easily fecth my eee pc to work inc. excl & word. I personally don't need much storage on my computer & for my general useage it runs perfectly fine but I can see how it can be a little small for some. Overall worth evey penny.
