yes it seemed a good price for your first pc!!naturally the eee pc o asus is really small and thin and so it is suitable for true mobility!!
As regards your configuration i think that is not so high but for a normal use such as surfing the net,wrting text documents,mails,Im, and so on it is ok!!

Hey, Yes I have to admit this netbook is very small but I like it I have no problem typing or anything. It's speed is really good. Also I found ways to have a Faster Performance on my netbook which is always when your serching the web and etc.
I don't use it to place vid games or anything like that really.. maybe online games now and then just when Im bored more for like. email, searching, facebook, myspace, ETC, It's my first netbook/ laptop and Im very thank full. I would consider it a 5 out of 5 For starters. Anyone who has a computer for many years I would recommend something more .. GB RAM and GB memory base on what your going to do .

My hearty congratulations!
The price tag is superb,I guess.An 11 hour battery life is too good I guess!I am also in search of a laptop with features as you mention out here,some changes though,the processor and the RAM to be a little more on to the high end.In the near future we would actually need them,I suppose.May I ask you,for how long would you use this new laptop of yours,until you buy a new one.I ask this to know whether I should also go for the similar kind of requirements or pay a little more on future reference.
I currently use a desktop,my father bought me this about 3.5 years ago and I would definitely say it was so memorable,the world seemed so special in every corner that I went.The people looked much happier than ever or I looked happy in case.Own a computer,was a dream those days and well achieving that was too good kind of a experience!Mine is Branded Compaq desktop,it currently has a 2.93 G h z P4 processor,with 2 G B Ram(which I upgrade from 256 MB)an 40 GB H D( no upgrades),a 17 inch CRT monitor and well good speakers of J B L to go with.
Now since I am in hunt for a laptop would you suggest me a one!

Hey tintukm,
Yeah I have no idea how long I will be using this probably for a long time my father bought a desktop computer he got it custom made. HE had for 6 years now. However recently it broke. I don't remember how many GB it had and all that stuff but yeah. Last for a long time just something inside the computer broke I guess because it needa new replacement haha..
Well yeah I recommend www.Bestbuy.com or go to www.mwave.com both are real good I chose bestbuy because it was easy to get to down the street really haha.. how ever mwave has real deals some are real good others are fair or some are just huh.. Most meet the good mark.
But yeah I think it's time for you to get a New computer so far so good with this Netbook everything working fine moving fast everything is great I wont let it get slow on me I Real careful what I download and etc..
So far I talked with my cousin who was miles away on a webcam. haha.. fun.wifi is good the signal can be at 2 or maybe even 1 bar and move real good. But higher bars move super fast to me.. but I wish they had a 2GB Memory.. But Im super happy with this one.. I recommend it to anyone.. :)

That sounds like a very good price. I do not even really remember my first computer. I am in the market for a netbook, maybe, so I am interested in hearing from you how you like it as time goes on. I have a lap top, and it is really quite old, and I have a desk top that is even older. I do not know if I want to get a net book or just a smaller laptop than the one I have. I think you did well with your shopping for your netbook.

Hey GardenGerty, Thanks for your responds. Well I will probably post how i feel about it .. in like 2 weeks/ half a month. So far so good I chat with my cousin on a web cam.. I also got some stuff done with important work like soon to make a resume.
I know this real good site that will sell you good laptops for reasonable price some are low prices really low but the system isnt updated into a windows 7 more like a windows xp. I wanted to buy a computer from that site for about $230 or $219 one of them. It was a 1GB Ram/ 160GB HD and a windows xp .. Same computer brand as mines.
But Since I have like $500 to spend on a laptop/netbook. I didn't want to spend it all so I decided to go to bestbuy with my father who is also good with computers as well. we decided on this one.. Which I think is Awesome.
But yeah to get these laptop/netbooks at reasonable prices go to www.mwave.com real good but anything $294 is probably a 1GB ram / 250GB HD and windows 7 so thats good.. compare to what best buy offers in the local store. I notice online you have more option. On almost any site so yeah.. My best bet is www.Bestbuy.com or www.mwave.com
Hopefully that will help you get a new laptop or netbook or maybe even a desktop.
