Warren F. Taylor ( Porterville, CA )
--Beware the Display!--
Unit is powered adequately but low def display resolution makes it almost painful to use. I'll admit; I missed that when I read the specs. How can they say this is a Netbook when you can't use it on the Internet? What tore it for me was when Yahoo! said I had to go back to default email program because, quote, "Your screen resolution is set below our minimum recommendation." What they recommend is 1024 x 768. This device only delivers 1024 x 600 natively. In addition, the screen is nowhere near as bright as Asus claims in its hype. It simply will not do, not even for a fairly inexpensive component like the netbook.
I'm sending it back today, April 22, the day after I received it!

--Excellent Netbook Options For The Price--
When it comes to notebooks I normally purchase Dells. However, when I found I needed a netbook for taking notes in class and I began to look at the different models, the Dell Mini battery life just wasn't that good and the ASUS caught my attention for several reasons. One of the students in class had one and he really liked it. When I looked online the price, options and customer reviews were excellent so I decided to take a chance on it and it has been great. Below are some of the Pro's and (few) Con's:

Pro's:
Monitor: Excellent, crisp LED backed 1024x600 display with minimal reflection

Bluetooth: Actually has built in Bluetooth which is not common on other Netbooks

Wireless: 802.11b/g/n with excellent reception and connects without problems

Windows 7 Starter: I was very surprised it boots up and shuts down very fast and uses minimal resources

Built in Web Cam and Mic: Although the webcam has become standard, I was surprised that it included a mic

USB Ports: This netbook surprisingly has three USB ports built in!

Keyboard Layout: Takes a little getting used to since it's obviously not full size, but the layout is very good

Battery Life: EXCELLENT. Running Windows and MS Works for 3.5 hours while taking notes I only used 22% of battery so it has very good power management. In addition, the ASUS Super Hybrid Engine auto-adjusts power settings to get maximum life out of the battery. For example, if you're not touching the computer for more than a minute the computer starts stepping down the brightness of the display to prolong the battery life. If you are just looking to surf the web then you can just boot into the non-Windows environment which will make your battery life last even longer.

Hard Drive: A lot of netbooks are coming with only 160GB hard drives. This one has 250GB which is really a bonus.

Integrated Flash Card Slot: MMC/SD/SDHC

Built-in Recovery: Come preloaded with an image of the system that the user can use to reload the netbook should the computer become infected or if they simply want to do a fresh install. A recovery DVD is included as well.

Con's:
Exterior Finish: I love the blue color, but the shinny finish picks up fingerprints easily. In addition, it scratches very easily as well. For me it's not too big of an issues, but I know it could be for others

Memory: Only comes with 1GB of Ram as do most netbooks. The netbook seems to run okay, but I noticed a speed improvement when I upgraded to the 2GB. If you are thinking of upgrading the memory see my WARNING below.

Pre-Installed Software: It comes with trials of Micro Trends AV and Office 2007. I deleted all of that crap off of the machine. If you're planning on using it great, but otherwise I would get rid of it as it takes up memory and hard drive space.

DVD Drive: This isn't necessarily a con, but I wanted to mention it for users who may want to load software from a CD or DVD that it doesn't have one. I purchased an external drive for this.

MEMORY UPGRADE WARNING: I upgraded my memory to the maximum 2GB. There are two things to be aware of:

1. Amazon has listed on the netbook page a memory module under the Frequently Bought Together section on the page that is the INCORRECT memory type for this computer. Do not buy the 256Mx64PC2-5300 module, the correct memory is 6400.

2. I normally upgrade my computers with Crucial Memory. To ensure I was purchasing the correct memory I went out to Crucial's website and ran their memory finder using my computer model. The module the Crucial website told me to purchase was CT25664AC800 2GB 200-pin SODIMM DDR2 PC2-6400. This memory module is INCOMPATIBLE with this machine. Users have been reporting different issues. The problem I was encountering was the computer screen would sometimes come up black on startup. It would also sometimes show the boot process on the screen at startup (not normal). The big problem is that when the machine is operating on battery power it would not shut down completely. The Windows program would close and the screen would go dark, but the power lights remained on along with the fan sometimes staying on. The only way around this shut down problem was to shut down the ASUS Super Hybrid Engine software first and then shutdown the machine or press and hold the power button, neither of which I was willing to do. Let me mention this is NOT a software issue with the ASUS Super Hybrid Engine. After searching multiple forums I found a user who had purchased Corsair Memory VS2GSDS800D2 2 GB PC2-6400 800MHz 200-pin DDR2 SODIMM and used it with success. I ordered the new memory from Amazon and it works well and there are no longer any issues with startup or shut downs.

--had a little problem with the machine, but Amazon's service is excellent--
So excited to get this machine, but there is a buzz when I start it, which is really annoying. I think it's from the hard drive. The only way to stop the noise is to lift the rear part to a certain angle. But after a few minutes it becomes quiet. This is not a huge problem, but it should not be seen on a brand new netbook. So I called Amazon whose service is excellent. They will send me a replacement, and I can keep this one till I receive the new one. I think I'll keep shopping with Amazon.

As for this machine itself, other than the noise, which I hope doesn't happen to many others, I like it very much. It doesn't get hot as my old one does, so it can absolutely used on you laps.

Yes, there is no recovery CD, but you don't need it, I think, because there is a button you can press to recover the system to factory setting. Plus, there is no CD/DVD drive, so I wouldn't be bothered by the lack of the CDs.

The some gestures do not work so well with the touchpad. Maybe I just need more practice and get used to it. But the machine works well with my bluetooth mouse which I use almost exclusively, so it won't bother me.

Overall, I would have given it 5 stars without the noise.

--Stopped working after a few months; no help from asus--
This netbook is light, attractive, and has a usable keyboard. Initially, the battery life was great.

After a few months of gentle use, the hinges attaching the screen loosened up and tore apart. I contacted asus for an RMA, but didn't send the netbook in immediately, as I still used it sometimes with an external monitor.

A few weeks ago I sent it back and that's when the real nightmare began. Asus returned the netbook with repaired hinges and screen, but a completely broken keyboard. For over a week, I've been trying to get a replacement keyboard or an expedited repair, but asus doesn't care that the current problem is a direct result of their mishandling. Each time I call, the supervisor promises to "escalate," and then never calls back or does anything. Tonight, the supervisor I spoke with said it would take 2 to 3 business days to figure out whether they good reduce the normal 7 business day repair time!

If you want a reliable netbook, don't risk this one. When it breaks, asus "customer support" will torture you into giving up.

--excellent... i love this...--
I bought a hp mini and was alarmed at the poor battery performance. Even when i am not doing any thing. i find that the battery power is falling hour-by-hour. So I googled for mini notebooks and came across this on amazon website. If you order this within next 40 minutes it will be delivered tomorrow- is what i found and quickly i read the customer review under the competetive model PU27 by Mr.Turtle james and immediately ordered for this. True to its promise Amazon deleivered this piece by 9am on the very next day

The review by Turtle james greatly helped me to configure this notebook in no time and I would suggest anyone going to buy a mini with a lasting battery may simply buy this one without a second thought. And curiously if you search for this item on amazon website you will never get to this. So google only leads to this page on amazon - prpbably commercial interests of amazon are involved, -, i don't know.

If you buy this itemgo for the james turtle review under the PU-27 which equally applies for this PU-17 Version also and you may be able to change even the wall paper on the desktop circumventing the starter version constraint imposed by windows.ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook (Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life)

Josiah ( Nairobi, Kenya )
I found it handy as a second notebook. Opted for XP Home, because I needed to be able to use a secondary Monitory. I upgrade to 2GB of memory so I could do a little 'more. Battery life is OK (never tried to push it to 8 hours away)

C. Jones ( Commerce, Ga )
This was the perfect on-the-go machine for me. I am a student at a technical school and this little computer is an aid to one. I admit, I'm not very technologically inclined (ie, going to school technology), but I found my Acer to be very friendly. If you're used to a desktop or laptop more, the small screen has some adjustments. For me, portability is worth the small screen. I was worried that the keyboard would be very small, but I had no problem. The battery life was more than I expected. With moderate use, I spent four days without having to recharge the battery. Also, I had no problems running the various programs. My Acer was the perfect extension of my PC at home. I used it for a month and I still love it.

David H ( NJ )
Very happy with this netbook. Now used for 1 week. Do whatever you want to do. Very nice car. Only problem is getting used to the mouse pad. There is a considerable amount of discussion on upgrading to 2GB of RAM. I have 2 GB PC2-6400 800 card and installed and the computer will not start.

I also purchased this Acer Ao532h with Windows 7 starter for my wife. I popped the memory card and it booted without any problem and immediately recognized the 2GB of RAM. Then put the card 1GB Ao532 Acer Windows 7 for my machine (Acer A0523 Windows XP) and will not boot. So now I am convinced that both machines use memory cards diffferent because of the difference between operating systems. I hope what I'm saying is true. Maybe my Acer Windows XP is not good (on the basis of a prior analysis of customers) or I need a different memory card.
......................................................

A reader ( Berkeley, CA )
Remember that this comes with Windows XP, Windows 7 is not for beginners, which has become the de facto standard for netbooks. This can be very interesting if you want to run XP, or will not learn the new operating system, Win7, or because he sees the legacy benefits specific to Windows XP (may be slightly faster than the Atom processor Win7 most netbooks more Light run). Please note that if you want to learn the new operating system, which is probably not the best of reasons, such as long-term support is probably going to be better for Win7, and Microsoft is reporting fewer problems with viruses Win7 XP (although this may simply be because Win7 is still new).

Other disadvantages than advantages of OS /, this unit comes with a more powerful battery (10 hours of battery life MA 5400), the other issues a0532h today have a lower power rating, so battery 8 hours. Furthermore, this device has Bluetooth.

S. Showalter ( Ohio, USA )
I was not a fan of netbooks that many out there, but this guy really surprised me. I started to compare against this netbook netbook from Asus, Acer, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and Gateway (a fairly complete line-up). There was a sharp contrast between the series of Mini 10 netbook and manufactured by other companies. For me, the decision to purchase really came down to comfort and ingenuity of its design. I believe that others choose this model mainly for the same reasons.

===== It's Comfortable =====
This thing is a dream to use. Most netbooks are unusable for me. What else bites with netbooks is the keyboard. I'm used to low-profile, scissors style chiclet switch keyboards that are (or at least used to be) more common in laptops, and in fact I love them. I refer to the type of keys that are flat and flush with the rest of the palm, and has a flange or just the edges of the lips (where the space between the keys). To see exactly what I mean, check the close-up on the right (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00361G10S?tag=a52-20&ie=UTF8 productDescription #). These types of keyboards makes writing very easy, since it will not cause wrist strain due to high keys or keys that require more force to press.

===== It's Innovative =====
The touch pad is small, but smart, who can hit the corners of the mat bottom-left/bottom-right to left-click/right-click (respectively), instead of wasting space by the application of separate buttons. The touch pad is very palpable, as texture and the finish is matte and not glossy, making it much more conducive to slide the fingers of most other netbooks I put my fingers. Most of the bearings netbooks touch was brilliant, making your skin strength and resistance to dragging gestures. I think the feeling of being almost annoying as fingernails on a blackboard! Netbooks were visibly covered with oil stains and grease of fingers, both within the block of the track and also at the wrist. Instant off for me on anything, but Dell! The Mini-10, another blot was free, thanks to the use of palm oil resistant soft rest texture.

===== What I Loved =====
* Keyboard design - 92% full-size!
* Touch pad design - genius usability features
* Wrist rest - comfortable, remains clean/streak-free
* 3 USB ports - 2-left/1-right is dandy for using a USB mouse
* Windows 7 - Vista isn't optimized for netbooks, 7 is
* 9:16 ratio display - great for movies (see above for DVD solution)
* Keyboard + Touch pad design - seriously! It hits the mark spot-on!

Yoda OK ( upstate/central NY )
I did not get this case to use with a Netbook, I've chosen to use with a portable DVD player. It works very well for him. The DVD player and all agreements fit perfectly inside the case, along with some DVDs in the front pocket. When I chose this item, which had shown a case of laptops, I do not know of any laptop that fit into this process. Now I see that down the title of the article to tell the time Netbook. Work would be nice for a netbook, but since I have not a netbook, I decided to use it for the portable DVD player. A case is well padded so it will take a while 'to fly around without damaging what is inside. The smaller zipper pocket on the back of the case is excellent to put the headphones too. Overall, I am very happy with the voice for what I'm using it for.

Susan ( Pahrump, NV )
This is strictly for 10 "netbooks. My ASUS 1000H dropped right in as I tried to put my Acer 11" in the bag. Fits, a tight fit, but no zip. You feel very confident that the netbook is well protected. The pocket where it will be the front and rear netbook is padded, so what you put in the front pocket does not affect the Netbook. The bag has 3 pockets. Pocket half has a place for your iPod, pen and a neat place for your USB drive. Moreover, there is more room at the bottom to bring the card or the mouse.

The front pocket is smaller, app 4"x41/2". It 'a good option for flat objects, or maybe the cables. And 'well put together and handsome. And I like having the strap. It is black like me, or gray. If you are looking for AA nice way to bring your notebook and accessories, look no further.
......................................................

Comdet
This is very well made and well designed netbook case. The hinges work well (a complaint I had with other cases, netbook this price range) and the filling is more than enough for the harshness typical of everyday use. The love that there is room for power cords, adapters and other necessary items that we all have electronic waste on July I would also like the overall design is disabled - no bright colors or logos, just a nice classic black. Granted, that feature will probably not be good for younger audiences, but I do not care nothing for the "Hey - look at what I'm taking! School of Design.

Highly recommend!
......................................................

Robert Huggins ( Suburban Philadelphia, PA United States )
There are a lot of coverage for your Netbook with this well-designed travel case from Case Logic. Not only has room for the netbook, but there is also room for the power cord, mouse and other objects, such as a USB memory stick, mobile phone or iPod. The case has handles and shoulder strap. In addition to performing netbook, this case could also be some players (small) portable DVD and digital televisions, and could also be used to carry a laptop, home-made first aid kit, among other applications. . . . Just be sure to check before buying interior dimensions (internal dimensions 11.8 x 9.1 x 2.8 ".) The versatility of this case, in addition to quality construction is easily my four stars.

C. Chin ( Seattle, WA USA )
I must say I was a bit disappointed with my HP mini purchase.

Cons:
1.) Skype installation defaulted to external mic, and it was frustrating to figure out.

Pros:
1.) great keyboard, easy to type.
2.) Easy memory upgrade to 2gb. It made my mini super-fast!
3.) Nice/compact design

I am happy with it now after initial installation hiccups and memory upgrade. It's a good little machine.

...Since the iPad hasn't been released yet, I bought one of these to show my design portfolio to clients. And I must say, I'm impressed. Gorgeous, minimal design, bright, beautiful screen, effortless set-up (it connected to my wireless network without a hiccup, unlike an Asus EEE I bought, then returned, a little while back). But best of all, this thing is ZIPPY! Videos load and play super-fast. Great little machine.
......................................................

Nothing But the Best ( Washington, DC )
I can't say anything about how this product functions, because I bought it from HP and it came in a non-working condition. It took numerous phone calls, hassles with customer service, not to mention speaking with a supervisor regarding the service I had received before I could even return the thing. I've had this happen once before, trying to exchange a computer with HP, but I figured one bad experience doesn't override the fact that generally they have good products. But when you order a brand new product and it doesn't even turn on... and then the service rep says well, we test all our computers before they leave... just left such a sour taste. I will no longer purchase, nor recommend HP. Be aware if you need service from them.

Was too big for netbook and no carry strap (for it's size a strap would be better than the handles). I ended up buying a neoprene skin that has a mouse pocket.

This is a great bag for our eees. Some eees come with a simple zipper pouch, but some come without anything. This case is nicer than the included pouches. The best feature is the handles. The center compartment includes a zipper pouch with two mesh pockets (will hold your charger, etc.). There is an outer pocket on each side of the bag. One has 3 holders for pens and 3 credit card-sized pockets. The side pockets have very light magnetic fasteners to hold them closed. According to the tag, the bag fits laptops that are 10-1/2 x 7-5/8 x 1-1/2". It is too bad that the color choices do not match the eee colors - we chose the blue bag for our pink eee and the orange one for the black eee. The colors match those in the pictures quite well. The bags do have a funny odor at first, but it seems to be going away. The odor wasn't bad enough to be a concern for us.

This bag is lightweight and has a zippered pouch on the inside that helps keep the netbook secure. My Asus Eee fits nicely and the pouches on each of the sides are nice for holding papers as well as the nicely placed pen holders on the inside.

This is my first netbook. It's very portable, does everything I need and has worked great so far. Very user friendly.

I must say I was a bit disappointed with my HP mini purchase.

Cons:
1.) Skype installation defaulted to external mic, and it was frustrating to figure out.

Pros:
1.) great keyboard, easy to type.
2.) Easy memory upgrade to 2gb. It made my mini super-fast!
3.) Nice/compact design

I am happy with it now after initial installation hiccups and memory upgrade. It's a good little machine.

...Since the iPad hasn't been released yet, I bought one of these to show my design portfolio to clients. And I must say, I'm impressed. Gorgeous, minimal design, bright, beautiful screen, effortless set-up (it connected to my wireless network without a hiccup, unlike an Asus EEE I bought, then returned, a little while back). But best of all, this thing is ZIPPY! Videos load and play super-fast. Great little machine.

Nothing But the Best ( Washington, DC )
I can't say anything about how this product functions, because I bought it from HP and it came in a non-working condition. It took numerous phone calls, hassles with customer service, not to mention speaking with a supervisor regarding the service I had received before I could even return the thing. I've had this happen once before, trying to exchange a computer with HP, but I figured one bad experience doesn't override the fact that generally they have good products. But when you order a brand new product and it doesn't even turn on... and then the service rep says well, we test all our computers before they leave... just left such a sour taste. I will no longer purchase, nor recommend HP. Be aware if you need service from them.

QUICK SUMMARY: This HP netbook is n-network ready and has good style, functionality and features for its price-point. A somewhat troubled installation process and a few design complaints make it an almost 5-star product. Recommended!
