Happy Customer ( U.S. ) The ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook I ordered from Amazon 2 months ago arrived with lightening-like speed and in perfect condition. I unpacked it at lunch time, plugged it in and waited a day and a half to power it up for the first time. It works great. Windows 7 (Starter Edition) is a breeze to operate. (No need to upgrade - the Starter Edition does everything I expected it to.) In no time, I was hooked up to my home wifi and surfing the internet. It was just as easy to use the separate CD reader I purchased (also from Amazon) to load a program I had on CD. (I chose a CD reader only - very inexpensive) I loaded another important program over my wifi with no problem. The keyboard is almost full-size and has a good feel to it. The touch-pad mouse took just a little time to get used to, but is now like second nature to me. I did not buy the extra memory and probably won't. This little netbook runs great for internet use and for word processing just the way it is. I've had only one frustration so far - I'm having a problem with my free trial of Microsoft Office Home Edition. I can't find an unlock code and Microsoft wants me to download a whole new program to do a much shorter trial. I bought a memory-foam case with separte pouch for the transformer/plug. The whole outfit weighs less than 3 pounds! Now that's portability!! I've saved the best for last - the battery really does last 14 hours!!! As I mentioned before, my use is mostly word processing. It takes several full evenings of use to run the battery down.
In summary, it works great right out of the box. Portable, super-long battery life, good keyboard and mouse, and speedy. Even Windows 7 Starter is a winner!
Signed,
Happy Customer

G. VATTIER ( College Park, MD, US ) Hi,
The cons: slow with Window$; low RAM memory; weak materials (scratched out of the box); not assembled properly (keyboard was not even, a section was lowed in depth than the rest of the keys.
The pros: just get a case to protect it. they are cheap and colorful as well (see iPerl mCover); I changed the RAM card by a 2GB and it works as a charm; finally, got rid of the pre-installed Window$ and installed linux. I use OpenSuSe 11.2 and the little friend became so fast and reliable. Only the multi-touch feature of the mouse has not being ported to linux yet (at least the version I have). I never again used my huge old notebook. This netbook from ASUS is a great choice. There are several netbooks in the marked, making as low in power as small in size devices. This is not the case with this model of ASUS. This is a powerful notebook, that improves when using it with linux, and its battery last for more than 10 hours.
I recommend this device for any student, or frequent traveler. I use it on my sailboat as well, saving a lot of space and energy.
Well done ASUS

Karen Thompson ( Newtown, PA United States ) We purchased this unit for travel purposes. For the first 3 weeks it ran great. We recommended it to others and they also purchased it. Then it stopped working. Asus customer service has not been very helpful. They want us to pay for return shipping and wait for 5 to 7 business days for their tech to look at it. What good is a warranty?

M. Keller ( Houston, TX ) I've been looking for a new computer for a while as my old laptop has slowly but surely ran out of usable life. I purchased a netbook because I realized that I don't often use my computer for much other than the internet and some real basic functions. I think that's because my old laptop got slower and slower so I just got used to not using it for much.
I can't really comment on the reliability of the machine as I've only had mine for a few weeks, but I have had no problems with it so far. I've travelled a couple times with it and never had a problem connecting to other networks. Also, the keyboard is a little cramped, but it hasn't been too much of an issue for me. Sometimes it does feel awkward going back to my work laptop that has a full size keyboard...
I feel like battery life was a key marketing point for this model and I will comment that I've found if all you do is surf the internet and put the machine on it's power saving energy mode, mine does last the 14 hours that is advertised, even on a wireless network. So I'm happy to leave positive feedback there.
Overall, I don't really have any issues with the machine. Sometimes it does bog down when I'm using Skype and trying to surf the internet at the same time. I also haven't installed the extra gig of memory and I'm also not sure if it is the wireless connection's fault or if it's the computer's fault, but I'm told that my video tends to freeze when I open the internet while video chatting with someone on Skype. Like I said though, this could be the internet connection's fault (bandwidth issues?) or it could be that the netbook just doesn't have the power. I'm not exactly a computer guy so I'm not really qualified to accurately diagnose the problem...
Overall though, I've been very satisfied.
