I've got an Asus EEE PC netbook for personal use. Love it. Pros: size, weight, portability are awesome, great for general surfing, email, note taking in meetings etc. Cons: Keyboard size is small, any install of additional applications will require a USB key or USB based CD/DVD drive because it's not built in, not a real issue to me, but worth noting. Would not be a good piece of equipement for users that need to do a lot of word processing/spreadsheet work.
FYI, I choose not to get the EEE PC that has the solid state drive in it because of the size limitations there still. I have a "regular" 160GB harddrive....personal preferance, YMMV. Also personal preference is that I must have a mouse to use with it, but, I have to have a mouse to use with my laptop also because I do not like touchpads at all.
