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.

Gateway LT2023u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 3 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Gateway LT2023u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 3 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
So far so good, nice key board, easy to used. BESHURE to make a restore disc. The first time after the set up make shure you type in slowly your password, you may hit another key like I did or it just locked me out. You have to log in everytime, I don’t know if you can by-pass the log in like the larger lap tops or it maybe windows 7. It took a friend and some reading to restore (2hrs), no support number for Gateway (I could not find one, @#$%%^). Over all from what I know pretty good for one day, need to play with it some more.

Toshiba Mini NB205-N330BL 10.1-Inch Royal Blue Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
This Netbook is a solid choice. Well built and good looking too. I would add the next 2 points to the existing database of reviews:

- comes loaded with a lot of toshiba utilities. Some good but overall seems to slow down the boot up. Havent tried to remove them yet.

Purchased this little jewel for a vacation in Hawaii, and could not be more pleased. The battery is everything promised, video image spectacular, and with 160 GB hard drive you can download and store all the pics and documents you need until returning home. A wonderful purchase at a great price.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1008HA-MU17-BU 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - 6 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

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.

Acer AOD250-1383 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Acer AOD250-1383 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
The Acer Aspire D250 is a great netbook PC, and the 1197 flavor contains four differentiators:
(1) Windows 7 Starter OS
(2) 250GB hard disk drive
(3) 6 cell battery (~8 hours’ lifespan)
(4) the standard English keyboard layout

..and it comes in blue :-)

Having visited 8 different retail stores and having tried/returned two Asus 1005HA’s, I spent a considerable amount of time comparing / contrasting models.

Acer AOD250-1838 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - Up to 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Acer AOD250-1838 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - Up to 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
So I was recently in the market for a netbook for travel reasons and happened upon the Acer One. After days of reading reviews and visits to local electronic stores, I had narrowed my choices down to the Asus (10 hour battery life) EeePC and this Acer One. As luck would have it, I was in the market just as Windows 7 pre-orders began and both machines came through Amazon with the new OS. In the end, the AC adapter issues with the Asus kept me away, and I figured 10.5 vs. 9 hours of battery life wasn’t too big of a difference (and neither would live up to the claims regardless).
