I have an Asus EEE pc (small netbook) but I've got friends who have the larger notebooks from Asus and everyone agrees that they're awesome. :D Mine is tiny so not what you're looking for (it fits in my purse it's so small) but the larger models are good as well. Mine, even though it's small, is amazingly fast and I've been using it for most of the year, typing term papers (5+ pages each) and it's not slowed down yet. That's just my 2 cents worth though! Good luck!
