ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-MU27-PI 10.1-Inch Netbook with Kindle for PC (Pink)

#1: ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-MU27-PI 10.1-Inch Netbook with Kindle for PC (Pink) Reviews!

Ever heard of Petticoat Government by Fanny Trollope? My favorite pastime is reading old books, including obscure Victorian novels not available in reprint. Google Books has a huge collection of these books, ditto Internet Archive. Was using a Kindle to read these, but tired of the fussy steps needed to convert PDF books containing pictures. (Also tired of the unlit grey background.) Thought of getting an Ipad, but really craved a full service PC. This darling little pink netbook fills the bill. Weight feels about the same as reading a hardcover book - acceptable. It was easy to download Adobe Reader, and use google to find PF shortcuts. E.g. to get the book's page to fill the screen: Ctl/L (full screen), then Ctl/shift/+ (rotate clockwise), then Ctl/3 (fit visible). Screen resolution must be 1024x600. A great way to page up/down is to use the built-in mouse buttons (the metal bar in the wristpad area). So far the netbook has remained cool even after several hours reading. Since Adobe Reader does not have bookmarks, when I'm done reading I don't close the book's window, just minimize it using Windows/D. Likewise I hibernate instead of shutting down - thus the book is still at the page where I left off. Another method is to record the page number in Wordpad, and later go back to the page in Adobe Reader using Ctl/Shift/N (go to).

Lots of great features including the Fn hot key which lets you do a lot of common tasks easily from the desktop: brighten, darken, turn on/off net access, adjust or mute volume, change screen resolution, etc. Internet access is as fast as on my other PCs. I did notice one of my scanning programs ran noticeably slower, ditto some downloads, but overall the 1GB RAM is fine for my needs. MS Works comes with an old version of Word, nice. Btw each time the battery fully drains, and is recharged, more hours are available. I think 11 hours is realistic if one is doing a low-level task like reading. Usually don't need an external mouse, but when I do, I like the Eee corded one in matching pink. Kindle for PC came installed for reading current books and periodicals.

Drives me crazy! - Sully - Boston
I bought this with the intention of reading mail on the road and searching the net. I have found the touch pad the worst POS since core memory. It has a mind of it's own and will do whatever it pleases. Even after I found a updated driver for it. It's got more useless software on it then a desktop. It fails miserably at reading and writing mail on the road because of the size of the screen. All net-books would do this I assume. Don't waste your money on a net-book get a real Laptop.

#1: ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-MU27-PI 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook with Kindle for PC (11 Hours of Battery Life) Reviews!

I purchased this netbook about a week ago and am loving it. I must say that in reading this review you should keep in mind this is my first netbook. Although I have always been a computer person, I have never used a netbook before so I cannot review it as it compares to like items.

This was purchased to do the "light" daily stuff like web surfing and simple word processing in place of a 14" HP laptop. The size and weight difference is great. I can hold my sleeping newborn in one hand and carry this thing around in the other with ease.

The 92% keyboard is easier to adjust to than I anticipated. The touchpad (my first experience with an Asus) is very responsive. Wish it had a scroll bar like my HP but the Asus method of swiping 2 fingers to scroll gets the job done well enough. On the same note the way Asus allows you to zoom in and out on web pages and pdfs by using the touchpad (iphone-style) is handy.

To date I have not had any real performance issues with 1GB of ram but I plan on updating to 2GB just to help free up some memory that is sucked up by background apps like AVG etc.

Battery life is tremendous.

Built-in webcam and mic works fine with Skype.

There is no active cooling (no fan) which keeps it quiet.

Windows 7 Starter is a little bleh. Though you can change the wallpaper with a free download from Asus, the customization options with Starter are limited.

The only thing I am not crazy about is the display--it is not bad, just not great. The picture is not particularly vivid. I know some higher-end netbooks are offering better resolutions now, but I don't think it warrants the extra cost.

Oh, and like all computers these days the time it took to uninstall all the garbage that comes preloaded is ridiculous. Par for the course I guess.

All in all I am pleased with this purchase. The price seems reasonable and, frankly, my wife is happy so I am too. I would just keep in mind that you are purchasing a netbook, not a laptop, so don't be surprised by the performance limitations.

UPDATE:
Installed a 2gb stick of ram from Crucial last night with no problems. Per someone else's post, I disabled BootBooster in the Bios, started the OS, powered off, installed the RAM, started the OS, restarted and turned BootBoost back on, and started the OS. No problems.

Great netbook - Demitri -
I bought this netbook for personal use when on the road for business. I primarily use it for check email, skype, surf the internet and watch movie files. It works great for all. Very pleased with its performance. I haven't upgraded the RAM to 2 gb like some have and I don't think I will since it sees limited use.
