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

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-MU17-BU 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - 8.5 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
Have had the Asus for 4 days now. Awesome little netbook - setup is a breeze. Was able to jump onto my wireless network in no time (though i had to go to the command prompt to figure out the mac address..since my network only allows certain mac addresses).

we got the netbook as an addition to the couple of laptops we have. It is perfect for web browsing and watching movies from netflix/youtube/etc.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life Review

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life
I recently got my ASUS Eee PC 1005PE and am happy with it. I planned to upgrade to 2GB and ordered the Crucial CT25664AC800 as was recommended in some reviews. However, some people have had trouble with this.

Crucial now has a recommendation for the ASUS 1005PE: the 2GB CT1166735, which appears to have the same specifications as the CT25664AC800. The Crucial site doesn’t appear to be working quite right because it says there are four possible products which can be used, but only shows the one. Further, the Crucial program which scans your computer and makes upgrade recommendations didn’t run on the ASUS — a Win 7 issue?

Better than expected. The keyboard is great. I don’t have any problems with the screen as some other users commented. Battery life seems sufficient although I don’t use it for long periods of time. Great size and weight. And, I love the blue color of the netbook.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1008HA-MU17-BU 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
I decided to purchase this one because it met and exceeded my requirements for a NETBOOK. The specs on this baby match up better than most. Great keyboard and mouse, keys feel great, wireless n, fast boot, upgradeable from 1GB to 2GB, user friendly ASUS Bios updater interface, Microsoft works, lightweight. You must understand first the context of my statement. I wanted a NETbook. Not a Laptop. I didnt want an “ultimate” or Professional” version of ANYTHING running on this NETbook. I wanted it to be lean and mean. I wanted a small, powerful, convenient AND FAST NETbook for casual surfing and email. If you wanted more, your in the wrong market. I didnt buy this to play games, edit, video, watch TV or DVD’s, etc. Like I said I didn’t want a Laptop. Windows Starter 32 bit is an excellent match for a NETbook. Think of Windows 7 Starter as just that, the place to start. I figured, if I NEED an “anytime upgrade” Ill get it. At this point, having had used it for a week, I’m not changing a thing. Less is more with a NETbook. Ill save upgrades for my LAPtop and DESKtop. From when I push the power button to my first opening click of Firefox = less than one minute. I removed some preloaded crapware, i.e. ASUS whistles and bells and some preloaded games. Added Norton Internet Security Netbook Edition, and bingo, the perfect NETbook.

ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel ATOM N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive) Pearl White Review

ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel ATOM N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive) Pearl White
I am very happy with this little notebook! Although I use a larger Mac laptop as my primary computer, this one is wonderful for it’s portability. It easily fits in my book bag. I read some of the more technical reviews here prior to purchasing, and was impressed. So far this little Eee lives up to the reviews.
I did install the optional 2 GB memory because I wanted to run photoshop and other software. Everything works just fine.
I would recommend the Asus eee 1000HA to anyone who is looking for a small portable computer.

I bought this for my wife, she need a laptop/notebook for a week long conference she is attending. She loves purple and wanted something like this to check her email, webmail and do some surfing while away. This was the perfect gift IMO.
Pluses:
Small: can almost fit in her purse.
Wireless: Supports 802.11b/g WEP and WPA
Price: You can’t beat the 9.99 price
Purple: It’s purple, she loves it.
Linux: Linux has negatives (read below) but it also has it’s plusses like a software repository of software that can be installed for free.
