Great little notebook with the best graphics available on the market at the present. This little jewel is light, has a long battery life and picks up those WiFi sites with ease while traveling. Can’t go wrong and Amazon makes it all the more easy to purchase. Don’t forget the external DVD drive…

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-MU27-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook with Kindle for PC (11 Hours of Battery Life) Review

I just purchased this netbook after my previous Asus (the dependable S101) died b/c the screen was damaged by my own carelessness. So with that in mind, here’s my quick take on the 1005PE MU27 model, which I received yesterday.

Acer Aspire One AOA110-1995 8.9-Inch Seashell White Netbook - 2.5 Hour Battery Life Review

ok, this is a fine netbook. The typical netbook spec (1.6 atom cpu, integrated graphics, 1gb ram…),
which is same as most more expensive netbooks (with large sata hard drives).
runs most streaming videos flawlessly, (hulu, HQ on youtube, though not HD…)
and even 720p HD videos (not streaming 720p, due to software limitations by flash).

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

I prefer Macs over PCs but needed something small and cheap to take with me on trips. This was the perfect solution. Does everything I need it to, which is your basic web stuff. With everything online these days, there is really no need to a ton of software, so that is nice. Wireless and cam work great, which allows me to keep connected when I’m away. That is a big plus.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-MU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 8.5 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

I’ve owned the Asus for a about a month-and-a-half now, and have been very happy with it’s performance and size. I did purchase a 2GB stick of RAM for it, which I would recommend, as well as a small carrying case to keep things neat. It has worked flawlessly to date. I remember reading someone’s review indicating that it seemed to get overly warm with operation; I have not found that to be the case. Asus indicates the battery should run for 8.5 hours between charges, but I suspect under normal operation that might be a bit overly-optimistic. That being said, the battery does last quite a while before a re-charge is needed, and I like the fact that I can replace the battery myself if needed. It also runs very quietly and that’s a plus. I’m running most of my desktop apps on this machine as well and have had no issues. I would highly recommend this netbook for consideration.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1008HA-MU17-WT 10.1-Inch White Netbook - 6 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

I decided to purchase this one because it met and exceeded my requirements for a NETBOOK. The specs on this baby match up better than most. Great keyboard and mouse, keys feel great, wireless n, fast boot, upgradeable from 1GB to 2GB, user friendly ASUS Bios updater interface, Microsoft works, lightweight. You must understand first the context of my statement. I wanted a NETbook. Not a Laptop. I didnt want an “ultimate” or Professional” version of ANYTHING running on this NETbook. I wanted it to be lean and mean. I wanted a small, powerful, convenient AND FAST NETbook for casual surfing and email. If you wanted more, your in the wrong market. I didnt buy this to play games, edit, video, watch TV or DVD’s, etc. Like I said I didn’t want a Laptop. Windows Starter 32 bit is an excellent match for a NETbook. Think of Windows 7 Starter as just that, the place to start. I figured, if I NEED an “anytime upgrade” Ill get it. At this point, having had used it for a week, I’m not changing a thing. Less is more with a NETbook. Ill save upgrades for my LAPtop and DESKtop. From when I push the power button to my first opening click of Firefox = less than one minute. I removed some preloaded crapware, i.e. ASUS whistles and bells and some preloaded games. Added Norton Internet Security Netbook Edition, and bingo, the perfect NETbook.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1008HA-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 6 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium) Review

My Seashell arrived Friday. The first hour or two I was unsure as my primary PC (work) is a Lenovo T400. This was so small.
After spending time getting used to the size and organizing the features to my preferences - I fell in love. It is exactly what I had hoped it would be. It’s perfect for surfing the net, reading news online, watching videos. It’s light and easy to use.
The storage will be large enough for my iTunes and to run the Office Suite. The 2 GB RAM is a nice upgrade compared to most other netbooks with just 1 GB. I think it’s going to be great for travel and just to have around the house for everyday internet needs.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-MU17-PI 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - 8.5 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

I bought this computer basically for browsing the Internet and doing other minor tasks, listening to music, creating documents, watching TV and Movies etc. I haven’t run any labor intensive programs yet (I’ve only had it for a couple days). I was going to play around with it for a while before deciding to upgrade to the 2GB RAM. So far so good. I haven’t had any of the HD vibrations or excessive noise the other reviewer had. The battery life is phenomenal. I can’t believe I can use a laptop this long and not have to be plugged in.

ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell 10.1-Inch Pearl White Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life Review

” This netbook has by far the best industrial design shape and look of any netbook I have seen and touched in person. It just feels super slim in your hands due to svelte tapers and rounded edges from its thickest point. I have found that battery life is very good at a usable screen brightness, and compared to a typical laptop this seems to keep going and going. The up time, of course, does not match the ‘ideal conditions’ quoted battery rating, but that is a universal issue across the board with most battery operated devices. The power cord and brick are also the smallest I have owned for any laptop. The brick is maybe 1″x3″x3/4,” I wish more laptops came with a truly portable power supply such as this.
