I have play with this baby before. I am the one who recommended this thing to a school Principal, and earned some commission.

It has 2 versions - Linux and Windows XP. I would recommand you the Linux version, as it's faster and the graphics look nicer, but with less power. You can do office documents with it, and the touchpad has a 2-finger zoom in/out feature.

Obviously you know how to install Windows XP. I can't find any CD-ROM on it, so I have to create a bootable WinXP installation thumbdrive. Unfortunately, to use WinXP in EeePC, you will experience a slow performance. And I mean really slow. After you have start Windows, it takes like 30 seconds to load. Its VGA output will sometimes have problems when connect to a projector. It can run 3D games, but the loading is really slow as well. Photoshop have crashed a few times (not responding). For a programmer / gamer/ graphics designer, this is not what you want. For a businessman , it is.
