I didn't know they were shipping shoulder-strap-equipped carrying bags along with the sleeve with HEs now...

Comes with the HE. Its really nice, I like it a lot.

Well that's new then. Something they must have started after the first few batches of 1000HEs. Mines only came with the neoprene sleeve.

Hey mothergoose729, great review. I an searching for this type of user-made review for a loooong time, since I'm thinking of a netbook myself.

The fact that Warcraft 3 works, wow, to me it's exactly what I wanted to know. I actually still play old-ish games like W3, Heroes3 and NFS V Porsche. I need a more "portable" lappy that my current 15"er, and still be able to play a bit, I had quite a few doubts about the Intel IGP, and now I know it's good enough.

A question though, what do you know about the Office 2007 performance?

Great review anyway, cheers!

Also would like to know about office 2007 performance. Thinking about getting a Asus Eee PC 901

Hm... I have a copy laying around. I will install it did and give it a run. I need to update this review and try out more gaming favorites and luck into some of these ini tweaks for better performance. My guess is it would handle office 2007 pretty well if you just wanted to make word documents and spread sheets. I will check out the powerpoint aspect to. Might be worth it to download photoshop 3 trial and give it a go to, who knows might handle it ok for basic editing and what not.

Anyway, I have some free time later today and I will try and update with that information

I run Office 2007 on mine all the time. It is as quick as my parents AMD x2 3800+ computer. I don't know if there is a way to do a benchmark in Office. If there is let me know and I will help you all out. But as far as running it, it works great. I have not tried Power Point fully yet. I know how when it gets 100s of slides piled up it slows things way down, but that's on every computer.
