 Execllent and versatile February 25, 2010

With an impressive and solid build, this little netbook might just be the perfect balance between utility and cost. The N450 processor gives some decent "umph" to this machine and the intel graphics are suitable for most tasks, assuming you're not going to try to play 3D games. Battery life for the 6-cell battery is impressive; in use and on auto-high, it has delivered more than 9 hours of usage, and almost 11 on economy mode.
The keyboard is solid and has a pleasant feel. It's not quite full-size, but it is easy to adjust to. The wireless b/g/n adapter works perfectly and matches the range of my large laptop. 3 usb ports, a vga out, an ethernet connection, and a built-in card reader add to the versatility of this unit. Windows 7 is peppy in this platform and Firefox performs very well. Even with 1 gig of memory, I use only between 45% and 75% with most applications, much better than Vista. I've opened 30 windows on this box without windows complaining, so I have not yet found the 2G upgrade necessary. 250G of disk storage rounds out the package nicely.
The display is beautiful and high-contrast; colors really stand out. As with all laptops, the angle of the LCD is important to getting the best image. My one complaint about this netbook is that I wished the display would tilt back a little more (45 degrees is the limit). My low desk demands a little more tilt, but other users will not have this problem--certainly not if the computer is sitting on your lap.
As to video, I have found that it streams netflix very well, with no jerkiness on high and super settings. High movement flash is a little more of a problem and I have found framerates of 20 FPS to be normal for Hulu. The next flash upgrade should directly support the graphics card in this computer, so the problem will eventually be solved. There are a number of reviewers on other sites who have said this machine will not support HD video. If you follow some of the codec tweaks posted online, you can indeed play HD on this unit. After a few such (very small and easy) tweaks, I was able to get both 720p and 1080p mkv and h264 video playing very smoothly.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a good balance of performance, versatility, battery life, and price, you could do a lot worse than this fine little netbook.

I have used the netbook during the last month. I bought this for a few reasons:
1. My laptop/desktop contain personal information. I plan to use this with limited personal information.
2. If I lose this or damage it during travel, I will be out less than $350.
3. This is the perfect travel machine. It fits in the accessory pouch of my laptop travel bag. I was able to use the space where my laptop used to fit for books, and the rest of my travel stuff.
Other BIG pluses are:
Long battery life. The battery seems to charge quickly. The power input works 110-240 Volt.
The atom 450 processor seems quicker than a celeron processor.
It is doing fine with the 1GB memory.
The SD card slot did fine downloading thousands of pictures during a recent safari trip.
The touchpad is a little getting used to, but if you learn it well the zoom and pan features are nice.
Overall, I am very satisfied for a product <$350.
It is what it claims, how long? Beats me. March 6, 2010

This little machine is everything it's claimed to be. It has an excellent keyboard, great touch pad and is fast. I upgraded the memory (it's a swap, not an add-on: only one slot, not two as the guy who sold it to me claimed). It appears well-built and solid. Windows7 runs great on it, now using about 30% of memory (with antivirus running) and allows it to do everything I expected it to do and very well: actually, better than expected. It boots fast and that's with the anti-virus (Avira) added. Will it last? I don't know and won't until it breaks. I've had it only a few days. I called customer service to check on a memory issue. My call was answered quickly by a person who was polite, helpful, and most importantly, correct. As of this writing, I can find no fault with it. Having exceeded my expectations, five stars -- until, and if it breaks, at which time I will update this and mercilessly condemn it.
Great Netbook August 11, 2010

This is a great netbook. I bought this model and also purchased a 2gb memory upgrade as well which has been well worth it. Even without the 2gb this laptop moved along and fine and for what it is...is a great product.
As far as the battery life goes on economical power settings you can go as long as 10-11 hours but for more power consuming settings you will get around 6-8 hours depending on use. On a plane using just video with minimal brightness for the screen I got around 7 hours. Not Bad!
I tried Netflix the other day and I had no issues the video's played fine.
If you looking for a great netbook that looks and feels nice this is the one for you. ASUS has been making netbooks forever and this one doesn't fall short of their reputation.

Hi. I just bought this netbook for my girlfriend and she will be using it in the university. She will basically only need it for internet surfing, email and Microsoft Office use.
I was a bit worried about the size of the keyboard since this is only a 10" computer so I downloaded a free typing software for her to get used to the keyboard and build up speed in writing on the keyboard. I tried it myself and I was pleasantly surprised about how easy and natural it felt to type on it, not hard at all.
I have also installed Microsoft office 2010 edition and various other software and this computer handles all of them like a drink of water (that being said, do not give your computer a drink of water!).
I'm only running it with the 1GB ram and I expect to upgrade it for a 2GB ram in the near future, how ever this computer is plenty fast with only 1GB in my opinion.
Battery life is about 7 - 8 hours. I was expecting something closer to 10 hours but I'm not complaining, 7 - 8 hours is fantastic.
I still haven't found anything negative about windows 7 starter. I have read in previous reviews that windows 7 starter does not allow you to change the background (desktop picture) on your computer and this is true, however you can download a free software (called "oceanis Change Background W7") which allows you to change the background with ease.
I really havn't used the "Express gate" a alot. Tried it once and the computer did boot up fast and all of the features seemed to work nicely. So it might be a nice function to utilise every now and then.
Hope this has been of help and I definitely can recommend this netbook.
