ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-MU17-PI 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - 8.5 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)

#1: ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-MU17-PI 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - 8.5 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Reviews!

The Bad: Windows 7 Starter SUCKS! Speakers SUCK (but headphones are good)! Lack of Bluetooth +/-. Reported battery life - not quite the stated 8.5 hours, but still excellent at about 6.

The Good: Nice HD capacity (250GB). Good screen (esp. if u use Chrome). Enough guts to use OO.o. Works well with Win XP. One-button touchpad on/off NICE!!! Full-sized right SHIFT key (with reconfigured arrow keys) NICE!!! ASUS software package is good.

The Verdict: I bought this netbook as a replacement for my other ASUS netbook (1001 I think) with a 40GB SSD. I loved the earlier netbook but the storage capacity wasn't enough. When I installed CPU intensive applications (e.g. 120 years of National Geographic on DVD run from the HD) the CPU found itself in the Everglades. However, this netbook is everything I need in a lightweight computer with good storage capacity, connectivity, office suite compatibility and speed, screen size, keyboard layout, portability, and overall ease of use. THIS NETBOOK IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR A DESKTOP COMPUTER OR A MUSCULAR LAPTOP.

Thus, if you have a copy of XP handy or are Linux competent and have a pair of headphones handy, this IS your lightweight machine.

P.S. I believe I've had this netbook for about a year or so and have definitely put it through some paces.

Great little netbook - Trish -
I have had my Asus Eee netbook for about 6 months now. And I still love it.
It is so much easier to use for travel than the larger laptops.
And yet, the keyboard is almost full size, making it very easy to use.

I would recommend buying the mouse. For me it made navigation so much easier.
