<human>: I am about to start university, and tomorrow I receive a payment specifically set aside for 'back to school' things. I would like to buy a ASUS EEE PC 1001PX-BLK099S, but I don't know much about Asus products, and am unsure if there is a better one available for me.

I have a dongle with a monthly allowance of 1GB that I haven't used yet because I don't have a laptop, I will be taking notes on it at my lectures and I will be using it a lot to reddit/entertain myself on the long train trip.

I guess my preference would be something with long battery life, because the specs on my desktop computer are good enough to negate the need for a laptop with amazing specs. But I want to get the biggest bang for my buck. I'm looking to spend about $350-$400

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: does anyone know which is the best EEE PC you can get for under $400 for the purposes of extended periods of word processing and net surfing?
