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).

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.

Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell 10.1-Inch Pearl Blue Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life Review

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) Review

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.
