 "Awesome" 2009-04-16

Just what I was looking for! My blackberry wasn't doing the job and I needed something more like a PC. Small enough to carry around plus good battery life.

 "bang for teh buck" 2009-02-22
By Anil K. Kadimisetty
i bought/won this in the amazon's yearly contest.

I paid 129 and this is worth every buck.



This is the first time i felt that i can use a computer on your lap.

(I have 10inch and 14inch HP and dell laptops at home which i never

like/prefer to put it on my lap as they are heavy).



Mainly i use to for audio/video chatting..

the cam quality was impressive..the audio quality is sufficient.

The Good:

Small size

Light weight

Comes with a neoprene case

Great price (It was $130 on a deep discount and that gave it a star)

"Big" screen for the size of the laptop

Microphone and webcam are useful with Scype

SD/SDHC card slot



The Bad:

Small keyboard (as expected, it is nothing that I can't work around)

No video output

The left mouse key can be picky

No CD drive (but hey, that's what SD cards are for)

12gb hard drive space



I was initially pleased when I opened the box and got to start playing around with this laptop. I enjoy the fact that it came with scype pre-loaded and have even found a way to work around the video output (all I need now is a newer TV). I wasn't even too concerned about the hard drive space as it is solid state and, being the klutz that I am, I knew that the laptop could survive in my hands. Plus I found a great deal on HDSC cards and bought 2 8gb cards to fill with the unnecessaries. All in all this little laptop is built for surfing the net and working on papers. However...



The Ugly:

The hard drives, yes drives. As in two. One 8gb drive and one 4gb drive.



Unfortunately Windows XP with service pack 3 is now over 3gb, it barely fits on the drive it was put on, the 4gb drive. This means that when I am surfing the internet I can go to very few sites with pictures before I have to clear the cache. Thus making null one of the reasons that this laptop was made.



Right now I have a copy of Ubuntu EEE installed, but that has had it's own problems. I'm looking into loading a lighter version of XP, but now I am running into the problem of having no cd drive. Whereas Ubuntu installed via a USB stick.



In Conclusion:

If you enjoy messing around with your computer or like linux, great! But get it at on a discount. If you want it to work out of the box, buy the ASUS EEE PC 1000 without the solid state hard drive.

 "Perfect Portability Device" 2009-01-19
By A. Sag (DAYYYGOO!)
This is a great little laptop that is nice and light and can hold a charge for most of the day with a good deal of usage. It also has a very reasonable and readable resolution that allows you to work on the preinstalled version of windows xp that this comes with.



The only problems with this laptop are that the HDD they formatted XP on does not have very much space left on it and because of that if you install any applications on that HDD you run the risk of getting disk full messages. So the best thing would have been to put the OS on the larger partition. But oh well, i will be forced to upgrade my SSD to one of the 32GB's or 64Gbs. There is also a good idea to upgrade the ram to 2GB from the preinstalled 1GB. With those upgrades this laptop is similar in specs to 1000+ dollar laptops.

 "Nice little machine" 2009-01-15
By B. Farnsworth (Cleveland, OH United States)
Overall, it's a nice machine. It lives on my couch so I can quickly google something or send an IM while watching TV. It is a great travel and presentation computer too. Here are my main impressions:



Pros:

- Pre-installed WinXP already performance optimized for SSD, saved me some time during setup

- 2 hr battery life is reasonable

- Very light and small

- Screen is big enough for many activities

- Fast enough to play YouTube videos



Cons:

- Secondary SSD is slow

- Primary SSD is small for WinXP... you must install all apps on secondary drive - I almost couldn't update to SP3 because of hard drive space.

- Keyboard is tiny and cramped, arrow up key between shift and "?" key gets in the way, tilde key in line with f-keys causes me to mistype numbers often since they seem shifted to the left.
