I typically own the small Sony series and had my eye on a TZ notebook. With the recalls and rumors of an improved solid state book coming out, I bought an EEEPC as a bridge. I basically conceived of it as a disposal computer that would hold me over for six months.

I have been very pleased with the machine. It is not as fast as the TZs, but it runs a full drive encryption program and can still surf, e-mail, and run MS-Office fine. This is not a desktop replacement for me, but I have written several 50 page documents on the book and enjoyed it. I've also delivered a Powerpoint show from it. It was fine for the Powerpoint show, but I decided that I didn't have the speed to leave Powerpoint and take my audience on demo few other programs or go online.
