We purchased this product to sit in the kitchen principally as an internet station. Purchase date was April 13, 2009. Last week in mid Oct the unit died completely. from Amazon.com We purchased this ASUS Eee Top so our 70-something parents could finally get on the worldwide web. This is their first computing experience and what a perfect choice for their first machine. from Amazon.com XP? and the specs of this machine were top of the line 12 years ago. from Amazon.com Until the eee pc Top purchase, I had only bought the eee pc 901 and 1001 he. I was looking for an inexpensive and slim computer for work. from Amazon.com My partner absolutely hates computers. I could never get him anywhere near one until the Eee PC Top. The touch interface and sleek design made it approachable for someone new to the idea of "computer as friend." The large, friendly icons on the Top's easy screen are non-threatening and allow him to locate exactly what he wants with ease. from Amazon.com I heard this was a great learning computer, which is why I purchased...to teach somebody to learn a PC. But sadly this machine is so unbelievably SLOW, I had to return it. When I contacted ASUS for help, they never once tried to help on my call, and twice told me they would have a tech call me back, but they never did. It is a slick, nice looking machine and has a really nice compact (mac-looking) keyboard. from Amazon.com I think I'm getting used to working around it now. On the upside, setup was amazingly simple. It took about 1 minute to hook up to my wireless network. It was, by far, the easiest new computer setup I've ever been through. from Amazon.com A way to hook up a second monitor would be great, but I would not expect it at this price. And...the name.... Asus REALLY needs a better marketing team. Other Thoughts: I'm thoroughly impressed again by Asus. from Newegg.com great industrial design, nice implementation. On the downside I found the product to be a little buggy in certain areas. The touchscreen keyboard is a little challenging to use, and the Asus interface is not as intuitive as I'd like. If you're willing to use the regular keyboard from time to time it's probably not bad, but I really wanted a full touch screen experience. from Amazon.com I just received my ASUS eee top. I have read the reviews of the ASUS eee line over the past year with some amusement as most of the reviewers miss the point of a device like the eee line. from Amazon.com
