I have my eye on something.
Thought i get myself the asus eee 4G surf and i was just wondering what you guys think about it.

is it worth it for 300€ (about 450$) or will it be useless ?

I know WingedPanthers wife has one of those, and I think she likes it. I personally wouldn't buy it...

I also found this and it looks much better and really not that much expensive for what you get.

This is to be used an ultra portable laptop that i can keep in my hand bag or even in my car so.its just what i need.
Its perfect !

Both my wife and I have one (hers is the non-Surf with a webcam). I use 3 2GB SD cards for storing music, RPG stuff, and church stuff (1 for each). Using synaptic has proven very handy, and I love the resources at EeeUser.com » ASUS Eee PC 701, Eee PC 900 Blog Forum Wiki Community. I use this as a souped up PDA. I can do a lot with it, and I do, but for anything heavy, I will tend to switch to my desktop.
I would say that it is far from useless. I used it while updating my church's website last week. I use it as a portable bible (using GnomeSword), and it is MUCH easier to carry to Panera than a regular laptop. EeeUser.com » ASUS Eee PC 701, Eee PC 900 Blog Forum Wiki Community can give you an excellent idea of the wide variety of programs people are running on it.

Whoah ! thenx for the advice as well as the link mate ! That was really helpful and i am glad to have made that post before rushing into the store.
And since its not all that more expensive regarding what it provides,I think i will go for the 900.
