Seashell 1001P-MU17-BU Reviews (All-Reviews)
Troyus The ASUS Eee PC 1001P is pretty sharp. Visually, I saw pics online with the carbon fiber finish and the glossy, looks like the final product is glossy, at least for the blue model. Screen is matte, for better visibility in areas with glare.
It's light, ASUS power management utility is pretty smart as well. Power supply is nice and small too. Keyboard is really good for a netbook.
I only have a few complaints.
Hardware problem: Occasionally the mouse touch pad does not respond, not sure if it is because of HDD caching or a bug in the device driver. Needs to be looked into.
Software problem: Windows 7 UI is netbook unfriendly.
Windows starter UI 7 is a step backwards. Make no mistake this is basically Vista revisited. There's no more Windows 'classic' view, folder views are a little weird even when you do get back to 'classicy' view. The new start menu is the real party pooper. Takes up 25% of your screen no matter if you have 1 item in it or 100, if there is one implementation where that is a horrible design flaw, it would be on a netbook with a small screen. Also some install bloat. Windows Live "Essentials", the goofy Adobe suite (replace with FoxIt Reader), starter version of M$ Office, and if you want to uninstall it is a big pain in the neck because there are so many separate install components to manually uninstall one at a time... So instead of 10 minutes, it takes almost an hour to junk it and install Open Office.
As for the broken parts of Starter Windows, I don't think it matters that much in a netbook, but time will tell. No custom wallpaper. I thought it would bother me but honestly the screen is so small the only time I see my wallpaper is during system boot up. Once there is Linux support I'd like to see how it runs under both OS's. But seems like Asus has made a nice product for 300 bones.
If the mouse pointer didn't hang and Microsoft didn't take up 25% of my display with their "genius" start menu it'd be a slam dunk.
