Hi,
I know a couple of other members are using eeePC (701's) successfully.
i bought an eeePC 901 because i wanted the larger screen and disk space (4 GB + 8 GB SSD).
- I have connected to my Meade DSI and EQ6Pro with PHD Guiding but not tested in the field. As I said, others have used their eeePC.
- with the Solid State Disks my uptime is fantastic, although the battery meter in Windows seems to be inaccurate.
- I wiped the XP Home install and installed XP Pro successfully.
- I find the lack of a hard disk a bit limiting, especially as I have loaded Office 2007 Ultimate (will use for uni and work stuff, as well).
- i have surfed the web and worked on documents successfully
- the 8.9" screen is very useable
- overall, i love the unit and cannot wait to travel with it.
The eeePC 10" looks like a good choice. does the model you are looking at come with a hard disk?
