Get the power of a full-sized laptop in the ultra-compact ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf, which offers a full QWERTY keyboard, 7-inch screen, and preinstalled Linux operating system. (This laptop is also compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.) You'll be able to stay connected to email and the Internet easily thanks to the Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g).

This 2 GB Surf model does not include an integrated Webcam. 
With a rapid start-up time, the Eee PC is always ready to get into action. | 
The 2G Surf comes in a number of colors: blush pink, galaxy black, sky blue, and lush green. | For the students and professionals, the Eee PC comes with a powerful selection of software to maximize personal productivity--over 40 built-in applications. The Open Office suite of software enables the user to open, edit and create documents, presentations, spreadsheets and databases that are compatible with Microsoft Office. For journalists, photographers and other professionals who need to use a computer in the field to create, to communicate and to collaborate with other colleagues, the Eee PC's combination of power, extreme portability and rugged build makes it the ideal computing solution. It's also a great choice for young students, with a built-in Dictionary that's great for homework, and it includes two modes of intuitive graphic user interface design to accommodate both experienced and inexperienced PC users. The Eee PC also handles your digital images, movies, and music as well as Internet radio. 
No technical manual required with the specially designed, user-friendly, and intuitive graphic interface. | Compact and highly portable at just 32 ounces, the Eee PC 2G has a 7-inch wide color TFT LCD with an 800 x 480-pixel resolution (WXGA). Under the hood is a 800 MHz Intel Mobile CPU with integrated Intel graphics processor, 512 MB of RAM (not expandable), and 2 GB of solid-state flash memory. With the dependable solid-state disk, you get unparalleled shock-protection and reliability. In addition to its wireless LAN, it also offers wired Fast Ethernet (10/100) connectivity. The Eee PC includes software for Web browsing (Firefox), email, OpenOffice 2.0 for creating and editing word processing documents and spreadsheets, and a suite of other productivity software to help keep you on track. You get three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA output for connecting to external monitors, headphone and microphone jacks, and a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot. The Eee PC measures 8.9 x 6.5 x 1.4 inches, and it weighs 32 ounces. The 4-cell, 4400 mAh battery provides up to 2.8 hours of battery life (depending on usage).

 has problems, poor battery life November 19, 2008
E. Jaleski (Longboat Key, FL)
The unit would not connect with my Linksys WiFi router properly and the battery life was an hour less than advertised.
didn't work November 18, 2008
Trisha Moore (USA)
I ordered a 2G surf to take with me while traveling. I was so excited about getting a small, lightweight, easy to carry little computer! The package got here, I opened it and set it up right away and then when I turned it on and the screen for the license agreement came up, I couldn't do anything - the touchpad wouldn't work at all.
I tried restarting, I called the ASUS support number, they had me press the reset button and start it up, press F9 to get back to the factory install settings, etc. But nothing worked. A couple times when trying to type 'yes' to reboot - the keyboard wouldn't work either. I need it soon for a trip - they wanted me to send it back to them to CA with one day shipping and then they said they would send me another one. I checked and it would have cost me $89 to send it there with 1 day shipping. I bought it through a 3rd party here for $249. I could drive down the street and buy one for $299 from Target and it would cost less than sending this one back.
I called the shop from Amazon that I ordered it from and said I wanted to return it. They said they will pick it up tomorrow. Now I am really sad! I was really looking forward to using this little guy! Now I don't know if I want to take a chance with another one of these or not or find another brand of mini-notebook.
On the plus side - it started up quickly, as far as the startup went anyway. And I don't think the size of the keyboard would have bothered me.
I wanted small and sturdy and cheap - just to travel with now and then. I didn't expect it to function like a full laptop, but I expected it to at least work.
 Amazing Little Gadget November 15, 2008

I am incredibly happy with this product. I bought it as a simple portable computer that I could use to type notes on, surf the internet, use a flash and occasionally skype with. It has reached and surpassed all of my expectations. This is perfect for traveling anywhere be it on a bus, subway or plane. I can whip out my computer at a coffee shop, at the mall or at a presentation and get internet connections in under 2 minutes. I have heard some people comment that it fazes the line between a PDA and a laptop. But this is not a large cellphone - it is a mini laptop.
One small disadvantage is that the laptop comes with Linux. For those who aren't used to programming, or those who simply don't want to get involved in complex applciations, it makes downloading new software and performing more complicated tasks very difficult. The online forum support for EEE pcs and Linux are helpful but involve a lot of time to figure everything. This is the kind of laptop to buy if you are happy to use things the way they come and don't need to download new programs, skins, browsers or applications.
It has all the general functions of a computer tucked into a neat package that weighs under 2 pounds. For anyone who doesn't like lugging a laptop around (and 90% of laptops today ARE a task to carry around) this is perfect. I would add that the WHITE color is beautiful and looks like a cool mini-mac. People come up to me all the time to ask what kind of computer it is, and I get compliments and comments on this laptop almost daily! It is super convenient and the price is definitely right. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a light, portable computer!
 very portable November 5, 2008
W. A. Harrell (Edmonton, AB)
I am delighted with this little notebook. I wanted a durable, portable computer that I could easily transport. That's what I got. It's great for accessing e-mail while I have coffee in a Starbuck's. It boots quickly, and I've never had a software failure. It has the essential tools tht I need: its version of Microsoft word and powerpoint. The downside is a very small keyboard. The small screen makes it difficult to find various "windows" when I'm on the internet retrieving e-mail. At the price, it's a bargain. Also, I love Linux and will be replacing Windows with it on a couple of my desktop computers. One should also pick up an external CD ROM since this occasionally comes in handy.
Great little machine October 24, 2008
Kenneth D. Green
I have always had notebooks, several different major brands, and lugged them around airports and Europe.
Then I saw a fella with one of these in an aiport, looked good, and I ordered it. I'll never go back to another laptop. This does everything I ever did with a Windows machine, and just as fast. 512k seems like the 3 gigs on a Windows computer. For surfing the web, reading emails, speadsheets, word processing, and so on, save yourself the Windows headaches and get this liitle gem, and get it cheap!!!
