I agree it is very easy to upgrade the memory on the Asus EEE, however, note my earlier post - in order for Windows XP to "see" the additional memory, you have to enter setup and save out.  You can easily verify this.   Install 2GB memory.  Start up without going into BIOS setup.  Go to Start>My Computer>View System Information.  How much memory is reported?  1 GB.  Now restart, but go into BIOS setup (I think this is F2 if I recall correctly, during windows startup).  You don't need to change anything - just exit and save.  Now check View System Information - how much memory is present?  2 GB.

This may have been fixed in a newer bios revision, but it certainly was necessary on my machines.

I agree with the other comments - light weight, good battery life, reasonable power.  I bought an external DVD drive for installs and it works great.  BTW, finger prints do get all over the glossy case, try rubbing it on your belly (flannel shirts work best).
