Question: Grandma ready? Is this a good device for seniors? Specifically, seniors who are otherwise bright but are easily dumbfounded by new technology e.g. can't quite get the DVD player to work without being walked through it a few times. (Hold up with any brickbats - I'm not saying all seniors have these issues.)
Document: I love this. It is the perfect ultraportable device. I compare it to 5.5" $1000+ ultraportables and not to full laptops. This as a secondary machine for times when you want something small and light so you can get on line, do some tasks or whatever - or take with you when you travel. In addition to the usual work related software there is a full entertainment suite.
For only $400, I'm able to use an ultra-portable and finely-crafted piece of hardware in places previously impractical for computer work, typing the largest Amazon review I've ever written (or seen). For that same amount, I also advertise Linux to curious friends and colleagues enamored with the tiny form factor, and get them used to the concept that not all good computers require a 4-digit figure.
The AC adapter is pretty small, compared to the usual power bricks most laptops come with. Sound and music sound crystal clear on the suprisingly good speakers.First off, this unit is small. It is about the same size as a portable DVD player. Or to put matters into perspective, its about the size of a DVD case closed and about twice the height. Very small. It attracts attention.
I sealed the deal by showing them Star Wars III on the unit and playing some other music and videos. When I told them it was $400 I could tell at least three or four new customers were born. Too bad they are sold out right now. Try eBay....So many good points. I love the unit but what are the downsides?A unit this small does not have a DVD or CD drive. You will have to install one externally.
(The pc is light enough that this can be done for a long time without fatigue.) Text will go as large as you want using the + and - keys. The only downside is that you can't bookmark or annotate text. To get it working well, be sure to go to their online help and scroll down to the list of shortcut keys, which make it much more useful.
The build quality is every bit as good as any laptop I have ever seen. My work laptop is a $2,000 Thinkpad....the Asus is built as well. And is more useful.Do yourself a favor: if you are wavering? Just buy one. You can always resell it for what you paid for it. But you won't want to. For $399, Asus has created the most dramatic piece of hardware technology of not just 2007, but the last 5 years.
I picked this up about a week ago and can't say enough good things about it. It does everything I'd expected and more. It has a beautiful, but small screen. The keyboard is a little cramped, but after an hour or so of use, I am fine with it.It seems to recognize every USB device I've connected so far. I've tweaked the heck out of it adding a few apps like emulators and a different email client.
It's break's the routine for the real deal change. Very fast and solid, so light you can't notice, and very notorious, people at your work will be jelous about. I'm bringing some of these to my entire family in brazil. I'm typying it, surfin' it and lovin' it- ed rocha ctPs. how long they will keep up with  pricing??? $only 299 entry level! !
The speakers that are stuck next to the monitor are, though, quite good, as long as the volume is not too high.Then there are the keyboards. It takes a while to get used to the size and layout of the keys. ` key is right next to Escape key, and the right shift key is in an awkward position, to the right of the up arrow key.
But, the onboard pad is usable.WIFI is great, gets signals where my Toshiba can't. Webcam is not the greatest ever, but its built in and it does work. The framerate on the Webcam is lame, but you can take stills with it as well.Bottom line: Looking for a cheap, ultra-portable computer to do basic computer functions? Get it.UPdate: Now 2 weeks of ownership of this little marvel. Hardly use my 14" Toshiba anymore.
Answer: Are you kidding?  I've seen telephones for seniors with a 10 digit keypad larger than this whole computer.  With everything so small on this thing, most seniors probably couldn't even see what they were doing.
