Reviews 1005HA-PU17-BU ASUS Eee PC


Pro:

- Battery life is incredible and recharges in an hour (max): I did some light web-surfing for a couple hours one night and had 82% of battery left when I was done. UPDATE: I watched a 45 min. episode of Mad Men that I downloaded and it only used up about 10% of the battery. Pretty awesome.

- Size is great: about the size of a hardcover novel.

- Weight is much better: half the weight of my MacBook Pro, the same weight as my girlfriend's MacBook Air.

- Price point is right: I got mine for $387 and feel like anything $400 or less is a fair price for what you get.

- Screen is small, crisp, and clear: Larger would be easier to see, but small is the point of a netbook, right?

- Windows 7 Starter is adequate: Not sluggish, even with 4 windows open at a time. I'm still getting re-familiarized with the Windows 7 file structure and how you install applications, etc, but that's not a fault of Windows 7.

- Nice look and feel. Very compact and handy computer, almost the size of a book. It can even fit into one of my jackets.

- Great keyboard, almost as good as normal keyboard. It only took my a few hours to get used to the keyboard. However, I am still not using many of the keyboard features/short cuts and it will take a few days before I can fully master it.

- Great battery life, not 10.5 hours as claimed but definitely 7-8 hours of regular use. I never worry about having to charge the computer and this is more than what I needed/expected.
