It's almost a year old, and my only complaint - a minor one - is the battery life. You failed to mention that the 904 claims up to a 7 hour battery life. I love my 901, and no longer hesitate to take it with me when I travel. I generally do not like notebooks, and have a desktop at home, but the Asus is adequate for checking email, writing up blog entries and sorting pictures. I don't find the limited storage on the Asus a problem. Everything I do needs to end up on my home desktop anyway, so I just carry a large (8 GB) thumb drive with me, and all my work is on that. The solid state nature of the storage on the Asus makes it very sturdy. I have a eee901 as well, which I think is obsolete since the 904 came out.

It has a 12-Gb solid-state hard dri ve. This must surely make it a candidate? I just dropped my Asus eee PC901 18 inches onto a wooden floor on my boat and it still works perfectly.

It's a bit worse for the wear after having been trekked around the US and Latin America for 2+ years, but it's held up fairly well, all things considered. It's heavy, but as you said, when you're working on the road, you do need many of the bells and whistles. @Eva: Like Craig, I use the same on all the time– a Toshiba Satellite.

A 12" Apple Powerbook G4. It's got some serious dents in it nowadays though. My wife and I have been sharing it for the almost-3 years we've been travelling full time. We recently bought an ASUS Eee 900 so we can stop squabbling over who gets the laptop. Sometimes we play frisbee with it, but it's not very aerodynamic. @Eva – Same one all the time.

I'm curious if travel laptop users have a different laptop they use at home, when they're stationary? Or do you use the tiny one all the time?

I have been looking at travel laptops and keep running into these same four. I finally went with a Mac but worry that if it breaks, it will be more difficult to fix in PC-dominated countries. I also wanted to mention the MSI Wind, which has a keyboard that seemed a bit easier to use than the other tiny-PC's. Great overview.
