Used Cameras For Sale: ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook (Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this little computer about a week ago and so far it has been great.So far I have not found anything to complain about with the computer so I will list a few of the things I like:

- Even with the extended capacity battery, the computer is very light and portable
- The battery life is great!My daughter watched movies for almost 8 hours on our plane ride home without a hitch or stutter.After being in use for nearly the entire flight, it still had 35% of the battery remaining.Another note on the battery, in the earlier 1005 netbooks, the battery would stick out past the screen on the rear of the netbook.That is no longer the case, on the 1005PE it is flush with the rear of the netbook.
- The keyboard is nice and decent size.I almost bought a Toshiba solely because I did not like the keyboard on the 1005HA version of this machine.Asus changed the keyboard on this model to a chiclet keyboard which is much better.I saw one review that thought the keyboard was flimsy.As far as I can tell, the Asus has no more flexibility in the keyboard than the Acer or Toshiba netbooks I looked at.
- Windows 7 starter and Asus Utility.I saw a few reviews where people complained about Win7 Starter.Again, so far no problems with the OS, it does what it is intended to do.As far as the complaints about changing the background on the desktop, Asus was kind enough to provide a utility that makes changing the background very easy.
- WLAN - since I bought the netbook, it has been in 6 locations that have wireless internet and it has jumped on the network easily each time regardless on encryption.

A couple more thoughts on netbooks in general:
- Netbooks are not desktop replacements or miniture laptops. They are intended to provide basic computing and internet needs.If you are expecting it to fly through huge power point presentations or apps that require a lot of RAM and processing power you will be disappointed.If all you need is a computer that travels easily and will allow you to surf the web, play music and video and run office programs, netbooks can be a very good choice.
- I would recommend that anyone who buys a netbook remove as much of the installed software as they can.I was able to remove alot of pre-loaded junk and the netbook ran faster.Here are a few program that I think every netbook should have:Firefox or Google Chrome for internet, vlc (Videolan) for music and movie playback, Open Office 3 for word processing, spreadsheets, etc and Foxit Reader for opening .pdf files.
Also, I have seen several recommendations to replace the 1GB Ram with a 2GB stick.I have not done this yet and it still works great.At the moment I have a 4GB SD card installed to see if there are any performance gains using the Windows Reafyboost function.So far so good.

The bottom line is that this netbook has exceeded my expectations and is a solid little machine.I would recommend it to anyone in search of a good netbook.
