    I am looking to purcahse my first laptop for the sole reason of wi fi surfing, some word precessing and maybe syncing with home PC and putting some ISO movies on it.

    I do not want a big bulky 500.00+ laptop so i read some veviews for the ASUS Eee PC 904HA fell in love with it.

    I have found a deal that could get me the ASUS Eee PC 904HA for 320.49 delivered and it is brand new. Is this a good buy or have they been cheaper?

    I just bought an Asus EEE 904HA at black Friday at $280.
    I think it could be cheaper if you wait for a big sale.

    Thanks. you must have gotten in on the cash back with eBay becasue that is cheap.

    How do you like yours? I am mainly concenrned with Wi Fi internet so I figured a regular laptop is a waste of $.

    How does the Asus compare to the HP mini in your mind?

    Decided I wanted a bigger screen. Got a deal on a Compaq Presario 15.4" 6735s-KS115UT for 350.00 after pay pal 20$ back and a mail in 50$ rebate.

    Now I have to figure out what kind of memory it takes to upgrade it.

    DDR2 SO-DIMM.

    You can upgrade to 8GB (2x4GB). :)
