Bought this Netbook mainly for a backup to my Desktop, to use when there is lightning/thunder in the area, and to use as a type of Ebook reader and a pdf reader (for the local E-newspaper). Power adapter sometimes runs a little hot, and I am not sure about how accurate the 8.5 battery life claim is.
You would be crazy to pay 2x for an iPad that doesn’t even have a keyboard. For the price, I think this one of the best portable computers on the market. Battery lasts very long, it is extremely light, and has more than enough computing juice to get what you need done. Any you can not beat the price.
This is a wonderful netbook. I bought this cause I needed to do work when I am stuck at school and didn’t want to drive back home waste gas. It does everything I need it to: surf the web, write documents, email, and it’s portable. I use this laptop as a means to do work at school since I didn’t want to buy a regular laptop. I already have a desktop at home, so I use this netbook as a means of doing SMALL AMOUNTS of works while at school.
I love it! I got it for my school work and it’s working great. Of course this kind of computers is not for heavy use, so I have another computer that I use to surf the net and do most of my work. Keyboard is not hard to get used to since it is smaller but it’s not as small as the other notebooks. The Battery life is not 9 hours, I’ve tried it lol however it is around 8 which is not a big difference so I’m ok with that. The screen is small but that is what you get for getting a notebook. The only reason that I’d not recommend this product for is with the Ipad you get the same features you look for in a notebook for school with a little bit more money.
I purchased this for my wife to use at home to check e-mail, connect to her office and watch Craig’s List.
It’s all as advertised. The very nearly full-size keyboard was the selling point. With the small ASUS netbook I own, typing is a two finger exercise due to the small keyboard. That’s OK for the uses I had such as a repository for service manuals and instructions.
I was looking for a tablet computer that I could use to display my instrument approach plate (IAPs) when flying IFR. This device fit the bill! It is easy to use and does almost all the things I wanted it too with only a few exceptions. I can download my IAPs from the internet site I use ([...] - Thanks DOUG RANZ - If you use him, donate to him, Great Service). I can use FOXIT Reader to view these, finding the plate I need and then going Full Screen in tablet mode and BAM! I have it. Battery life is good and the 12 volt adapter is compatible with aircraft using a 12 volt system. I will use a 24V to 12V adapter for mine.

This netbook has worked out fine. The keyboard is surprisingly adequate, the track pad works fine (though I often use an external mouse), the screen is fine… Of course it’s a very slow computer, but that’s expected.
The packaging was unusually nice too — I almost felt like it was an Apple product. The package includes a nice carrying sleeve, and the power cords have nice Velcro ties.
Super small netbook. Works great - fast speed, lightweight and nice size keyboard.
Overall love it.
