  • Summary: ASUS Delivers. Solid, Stylish, Reliable Machine
  • Comment: I'm sure you've already read a ton of reviews (as I did when I was researching netbooks) so I'll try to make this review valuable:

    1. Upgrade to 2gb RAM right away. It's only $40, and I can't imagine what performance is like without it. I'm really satisfied with 2gb RAM speed.

    2. Let it completely sleep or hibernate or shut down (wait for lights to go out) before closing the netbook. I was in a hurry before, and when I didn't let it complete it's shutdown ritual, I'd go into checkdisk upon restart/resume. This is not a complaint, just expect it.

    3. I've only gotten one blue screen of death in 1 month of daily use. For a PC in its early years, I'll take it.

    4. Windows 7 Starter is not as terrible as others write. You can do all the important things. Upgrade if you want to personalize your desktop wallpaper, theme, whatever.

    5. Battery life is really good on these machines. My friends with normal PC laptops have to plug in at the coffee shop. I don't.

    6. Expect small screen resolution and limited multitasking. Use Firefox or Chrome and this little guy flies. Give one a test drive at the store to see if it suits you.

    7. I took it on a trip to NYC, and it was perfect because of its portability and effectiveness. I was able to check email, blog, post photos to flickr with ease. Netbooks are the ultimate traveling machine, and ASUS makes a very good one.

  • Summary: Very Very Satisfied
  • Comment: I am very happy with this netbook. The battery life is great and Windows 7 is so much better than previous Microsoft systems. Boot time is fast. WiFi and built in webcam work great. The only problem I have had was trying to install Linux Ubuntu 9.10 failed but I am sure those bugs will be worked out. That problem is from Ubuntu and not ASUS. My wife and daughter love this netbook and should they talk me into buying them one, I would purchase the exact same model.

  • Summary: excellentt for travel
  • Comment: I purchased this little netbook for travel and it is excellent for what we need it for. Just be aware it has no cd/dvd drive so to add programs etc. you really need to purchase one. (under $50). I put a couple of games on and office suite with one note and outlook, so now it is completely functional for what I needed. We will not be loading on a lot of music or pictures for that matter so the lack of space on the hard drive is not an issue for us. I have a little wireless mouse for it and I cut down a mouse pad and it works great on airplane service trays. So far the battery life is great and when all is said and done I am very happy with this little netbook.

  • Summary: Get this netbook
  • Comment: If you're in the market for a netbook, this is the one you want. My girlfriend (and I, occasionally) have been using this one for about 6 weeks and we have zero complaints. It seems like the battery lasts forever. Asus has put together a really great netbook.
