Carlben ( Colorado ) Beware - Serious Product Quality Issues
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. Specifically it doesn't appear to be able to mount the harddrive. No recovery is possible. All photos and songs will be lost. Failure was preceded by a month or two of stuttering streaming audio and slow performance. These items may not be related, but if you observe these things, back your stuff up! I can't say if this is an individual unit issue or is a product line issue, but either way I'm pretty disappointed. Other notes:
Warranty Policy: No extension of warranty on repair work unless you're in between months 9-12 of original period, and then it's 3 months from time of repair.
Returns Policy: You pay to ship it to Asus.
All in all, while it fit better than another boring laptop for what we wanted, the obvious quality issue makes me recommend: DON'T BUY IT. Probably not any of Asus other products either.

Three of Six ( Denver, CO USA ) Sweet touchsreen
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. Our two-year old granddaughter LOVES this machine too. The ability to set up the computer anywhere is great with the wireless connectivity. Having the smaller keyboard works in their favor and still provides all the functionality possible. They have yet to use the mouse provided because the touchscreen makes it very easy to tap your selection; whether with the stylus included or with your fingernail.
The price point was great through Ritz camera / Amazon. There are three games installed as well as a couple of solitare games to help with the stylus and tapping skills. The Easymode is wonderful for first time users; the machine comes with all the software a user needs. There's even a card slot for digital camera memory and plenty of USB ports.

Michaela Conley ( DC metro area ) Bright screen, great computer, great price
I am so pleased with my purchase. I do a good number of trade shows each year. I purchased this to use on the trade show floor because of it's bright screen and form factor. I could not be more happy with my decision. A+

Deimos ( Alberta ) To slow for me.
XP? and the specs of this machine were top of the line 12 years ago. This is just an old spec computer that cannot handle the promgrams of today with a new design. Don't be fooled. Go for a HP touch smart or better yet, the best an Imac.

Nathan Beauchamp ( Oak Park, IL USA ) Slick, sexy all-in-one PC
I bought one of these to serve as a sign-up computer for the non-profit that I work for. We wanted a computer that was wall mountable, touch screen, and sleek. The ASUS Eee all-in-one met all our requirements, and as a bonus had built in N-band wireless. We've been using this Eee for two weeks and I have virtually no complaints. I have the piano black model, and it's very nicely made, and reminds me in design quite a bit to Samasung's 'touch of color' monitors.
The computer comes preloaded with XP service pack 3, which is stable and fast and uses the computers somewhat limited resources sparingly. (The atom 1.6ghz processor and 1gb of ram don't make this computer suitable for gaming or HD video, so if you plan to do either, this is NOT a good option for you). I had it up and running with no fuss in about 30 minutes.
The computer also comes pre-loaded with Set Point, a touch screen program that includes a touch keypad that works well enough. My only complaint is that it can't be 'locked' so that it doesn't close down. For the application that I'm using it for, it's pretty common that someone shuts it down and can't figure out how to get it back up. This won't be an issue for anyone that is using the computer at home.
PROS:
1) Bright, high quality screen. The resolution of 1366×768 is fine for most applications, but as I said earlier, it's not ideal for HD video formats. However, it can stream DVDs and other smaller sized video just fine, and the picture is quite good for a touch screen (or any LCD for that matter).
2) Touch screen works well. I was able to do almost everything you need a mouse and keyboard for with only a few exceptions. You can surf the net, type, open programs, sort through the Start menu, etc, all very easily. Where the screen is less useful is in selecting small portions of files to move them, or accessing a right-click function. You can set the screen to recognize certain things as a right-click, but it's a lot more cumbersome than a mouse. For a non-techy, this won't really be an issue.
3) The design is slick, sexy, and very visually appealing. Enough so that I'm considering getting one of these for my kitchen to serve as a TV and secondary work station. The fact that they're easily wall mounted and have show no wires once hung properly makes this a very attractive option! I love the way these guys look; compared to their first gen Eee netbook cousins, they're so sleek and awesome looking that if you buy the white one, don't be surprised if someone asks you if it's an Apple!
4) The internal hardware is quite adequate for everything that a netbook will do. I wouldn't think of this computer as a true desktop replacement; its hardware isn't quite up to some processor hungry applications. However, for using as a web portal, it's perfect.
Cons:
1) The provided mouse and keyboard, while slick and matching the computer perfectly, are not very well made and have very short cables. They're almost silly short, probably no more than 30 inches or so. This is an issue if you like to put the keyboard in your lap or sit farther than a foot from the screen. I recommend getting a nice wireless keyboard and mouse, especially if you want to take advantage of the wall mounting option.
2) The speakers are low quality. Sound is not great, and there's no way around it except getting an external 2.1 set up. I didn't expect the computer to have amazing speakers, but these will NOT work for watching movies if you care at all about audio levels.
3) There is no CD/DVD drive. This means you have to load programs either over the wireless or through a USB drive. You could also potentially buy an external drive, but this is a minor hurdle in my opinion, especially if you have more than one computer and a USB drive.
Conclusions:
For the price this is a fantastic little touch screen computer. It's very nicely designed, wall mountable, is up to date with N-band wireless, and runs XP
*****UPDATE 10-10-2009*****
I was so pleased with this computer in the application of a sign-in/sign-up kiosk that I ended up buying 3 more of them for our church. They work exceptionally well and I am more than pleased with them. We're now running 4 of them in our welcome center and all work flawlessly.
