  Pros: Great weight and shape. Boots up surprisingly fast.
  Cons: The 12GB 901 has two 4GB and 8GB hard drives. The XP operating system is installed on the 4GB drive. As a result, as soon as Windows updates, the C: drive fills up and you get low space warnings for the C: drive, and the drive becomes sluggish. Summary: There is no way for the user to install the operating system on the larger drive. Why they split it up into two drives is beyond me. Definitley a big design flaw. If it wasnt for this serious shortcoming, the 901 would be a home run out of the park.

  This computer was the perfect size and weight for me. But I have reluctantly decided to return this to Costco becuase of the small 4GB C: drive filling up when windows is updated. I recommend that the operating system be put on the 8GB drive, or better yet, install a single 12GB drive.
  Thank you for submitting your feedback!

 Good: Much-improved battery life new mouse and quick-launch buttons still highly portable and reasonably priced.
 Bad: The long-awaited Asus Eee PC 901 is the best version of this inexpensive Netbook yet, but its facing increased competition from the likes of HP, Dell, and MSI.
 Recommend: Yes
