    3 out of 5 stars Great till the screen went blank   July 13, 2010
    cruzcord
    Delivery was within the shipping timeline. Wonderful product out of the box. Plug & Play with easy access to our wireless networks. The keyboard was not too small and RAM effectively managed web applications. Windows 7 Starter is minimalist; any applications beyond Web access will need drivers downloaded. For some inexplicable, to me, reason, the screen went black during a routine on-line session. The Netbook was no longer of any use.
    Amazon's 30-day return for refund policy is GREAT! Thank goodness it did not go blank on day 31.



    5 out of 5 stars I would give it 6 stars if I could ...   July 8, 2010
    Jim Kocher (Eugene)
    I seldom write reviews but I love this netbook - I have had it for 3 months and it has far exceeded my expectations - I can't believe how fast it boots up - 11 seconds - always brings a smile to my face - I have never used any other computer that comes close to it - I am also amazed by the long battery life - I really didn't believe the specs - makes me wonder what's wrong with all the others - love the keyboard - way better than my Sony VAIO that cost 3 times as much - thanks again and again to the other reviewers who said be sure to get the white model - it is beautiful - I get comments on it all the time - and for some reason it really doesn't show fingerprints - I am really happy that I bought this - seems like a fantastic price for what you get ...

    the two negatives I will mention are (1) I didn't like some of the touchpad settings (it was always scolling by accident) and it took me forever to figure out how to modify them (go to control panel - hardware and sound - mouse - device settings - settings) (2) there is a noticeable delay loading some websites - I figure that is the tradeoff with a netbook and I am more than happy to wait a few extra seconds - I am a big skeptic about most things but ASUS has totally earned my respect with this computer - I highly recommend it ...

    I purchased this computer for my wife and she is very satisfied with it. Simple to operate and long battery life


    5 out of 5 stars Asus isn't kidding about "all day computing"   June 27, 2010
    A. Nathanson (Columbus, OH)
    My battery, at 88% right now is showing 10hr remaining battery life as I type this review. I use this netbook for days before I have to recharge it. Without a doubt, this laptop's greatest feature is its phenomenal battery life.

    I upgraded to 2gb of ram shortly after purchase, and also installed Windows 7 Ultimate Edition x64 (which works beautifully, if you were wondering). I enjoy snappy performance of all of my MS Office productivity programs, as well as speedy web browsing, movie playback, and music.

    This is, of course, not my primary computer as I also own a full-featured 17" notebook. However, the Asus EEE PC 1005pe is a fine travel companion, and I can do everything I need and want with it on the road with virtually no compromises. I always feel like performance is up to snuff, and even this impatient reviewer never thinks anything lags too much.

    Upgrade the ram, upgrade the OS if you like (I definitely like!), and you will have more of a "notebook" than a "netbook."

    Lightweight, stylish, extraordinarily easy to bring with you everywhere you go, this Asus EEEpc is a total winner. Look no further.



    4 out of 5 stars ASUS eee PC Seashell 1005 PE MU017 WT   June 24, 2010
    John D. Grey (Frankfort, IN)
    I purchased this for the battery life that is supposed to last eleven (11) hours and for the white color and have had the item for over a month now and have been closely watching the battery life. In the real world useI get about seven hours of battery life. By real world use I am surfing the web, checking email, watching news video broadcasts and perhaps using the netbook to read a novel. I am somewhat disappointed in the battery life hence the four star rating.

    With regard to my choice of white, I am delighted in the color because it hides fingerprints, smudges that just come with use of the machine. I find that I only have to wipe off the body of the netbook about once a week and it always looks respectable. With regard to screen resolution -- you just don't have much choice and it does well for my general use and allows one to read web pages without having to scroll from side to side. The screen can be viewed not only from sitting directly in front of the screen but from the sides as well.

    The speakers are a surprise for the size of them. One does not expect much in the way of sound from a netbook but this little gem puts out a lot of volume and you can easily watch a movie on the screen and would not have to wear headphones to hear it and I am hard of hearing my folks. The sound quality from the speakers is adequate and as I already mentioned the volume they provide is a bonus.

    I have not found the need to update the amount of ram and am running the provided Windows 7 Starter which is a joke as it is such a pared down operating system that Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves. Thankfully, with a little searching on the internet, one can find a work around for the lack of ability to change the desktop, theme, etc.

    The keyboard is cramped but workable if one can learn to be VERY careful when using the right shift key.

    I purchased this item knowing about the faults thanks to the views at Amazon.com and the only major disappointment is the battery life. I have not needed to call for warranty service and can not speak with regard to the type of service one can expect.

    I hope this review has been helpful.
