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.

Battery is worthless after 7 months - I can't believe I'm writing a reveiw -
Hopefully this just happened to mine, but I cannot even unplug my Eee pc 1005pe - it dies immediately. Battery shows its charging when plugged in. I seldom use this computer because I have others, that may have effected battery life. Its a bit ridiculous. Warranty is only good for 6 months on battery.

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.

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.

ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell 10.1-Inch Pearl Black Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life

#1: ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell 10.1-Inch Pearl Black Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life Reviews!




NOTE: This is not a complete review, just some information on my recent experience with warranty service.
I quickly got an RMA number via email from ASUS after reinstalling Windows failed to restore my netbook. The repaired computer was returned to me with a new hard drive within a week. I live in CA, and I sent it to a CA service center, so your results may vary if you live elsewhere.
I and others who bought this computer experienced WiFi connection problems that a BIOS update didn't fix,nor were there any other updates on the ASUS site to address this problem. After I booted up my "new" computer for the first time, it detected my home network (draft-N) and quickly connected. Out of the box last year the only WiFi that it would connect to was G.
I'm pleased with my first experience with ASUS warranty service.
A final comment on aesthetics. The Pearl black finish looks good unless you touch it. I saw a newer version of black last week, sort of a matte finish graphite, and it doesn't show fingerprints, unless of course you're eating pizza at the same time as you're typing.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1201N-PU17-BK 12.1-Inch Black Netbook - 5 Hours of Battery Life

#1: ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1201N-PU17-BK 12.1-Inch Black Netbook - 5 Hours of Battery Life Reviews!




I've owned this netbook for more than half a year, and thus far am extremely satisfied with it.

I'm not much of a computer geek, so I won't try to get technical, but I'd like to note that while the 1201N performs some tasks very well and others at a snail-like rate, it fits in with my preferences and activities perfectly. I bought it for several purposes, and have not been disappointed in any of them:

1. To be lightweight enough to carry easily to school and work
2. Internet browsing
3. Word processing
4. Video-streaming (on Youtube, Netflix and Amazon's Video on Demand)
5. World of Warcraft

Although the computer is noticeably slower than my decently togged-out desktop at tasks such as virus scans or new software installation, this is not generally an issue as long as I confine my activities to the ones listed above. Internet surfing and word processing are of course not a problem, and videos play as seamlessly as they do on the desktop. I usually have several processes going at the same time, including Google Chrome (with video running) and multiple instances of Wordpad and/or OpenOffice Writer, with no appreciable dent in performance.

For fellow WoW gamers: World of Warcraft runs surprisingly well. I had expected to perhaps be able to check mail and auctions on this machine while unable to access my desktop, but I've had no problems solo-questing, either. Dalaran kills my frame rate during peak hours, but that holds true for many laptops and older desktops as well. I haven't tried raiding yet -- I'm used to playing with a ton of add-ons on the desktop but am using only the default UI on the netbook -- but I think 10-mans should be doable; 25-mans, doubtful. I use minimum settings, of course, with 1024x768 resolution in windowed mode (so I can easily tab in and out), and the game runs fine.

I don't know why the computer is so sluggish with tasks like software installation but brisk when it comes to gaming and videos, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. *g*

The one big problem with the 1201N is, as numerous people have mentioned, the short battery life. It'll last for 4~5 hours if you don't over-exert it, but you can't push it much further than that. Since my classes last for 3 hours and I have opportunities to recharge before and after, that isn't an issue for me, but this probably isn't the computer you want to bring with you on long flights.

It's good... - Jorge Vasquez -
Yeah it's pretty good.. but it doesn't last the 5 hours like the title says.. it lasts about 4 if you're lucky. The performance is okay, considering it's a Netbook and all. But the images look great, it's a pretty good price for a nice computer that you will use for traveling and such.
