Is it the Linux SSD? Many versions of Asus eee, some outlived their welcome. I purchased mine in July 2008, used it for a long, working holiday and it was faultless. Powered an external dvd, watched films, and generally all things that were expected of a proper computer. Writing for a long-time on the keyboard wasn't easy, but that goes with the 9" form.
A couple of years later, the web had moved on and browsing with an Atom chip became slow, then painful. Also it didn't help that Asus gave up support before 2008 finished and that the 901 Linux version was their only non-Windows netbook.
