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

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook (Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life)
I’ve had this netbook for several months now and LOVE it!

It seems strange to me that folks would complain about things like Windows 7 starter. It clearly states that this is what is on the netbook, so don’t purchase it if you want Windows 7 premium! My experience is that starter works fine and is probably perfect for this processor and memory configuration, of course you can’t change the wallpaper (who cares?). Look, this is not a laptop, it’s a NETBOOK! For web surfing, e-mail and documents, it works fantastic. I even watch YouTube videos and convert DVD files to MP4’s and watch them with no problems. All this with only the 1GB of RAM that originally came in the machine. If you want speed, then buy a laptop with a faster processor and more memory. For portability and battery life, this thing rocks!

Gateway LT2032u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Over 7 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Gateway LT2032u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Over 7 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
I searched for a netbook for about a week and found that I could get a Toshiba netbook at Best Buy for about the same price that had a slightly faster processor but a smaller hard drive. I decided to go with the Gateway because of the 250 GB hard drive instead of the 120 GB. The slight increase in processor speed on the Toshiba just could not offset the Gateways price of 0 out the door with the larger hard drive. I upgraded the memory to the 2 GB max( Crucial 2GB 256Mx64PC2-5300 CT25664AC667 DDR2 200-Pin SODIMM Laptop Memory )which really makes a difference only for downloading files or watching video. The battery life seems to be about what is advertised, or maybe slightly better. I removed Norton’s and installed freeware for anti-virus and spyware and will probably remove the Microsoft Office suite because I don’t want to pay 0 for it. For as little as I expect to use it I don’t think that it is worth it on this netbook. I really only expect to use it for traveling which will consist of web use and email, and maybe video chat occasionally. It is built very solidly, and has great styling. As another reviewer stated, the battery does add about an inch to the depth over other netbooks, but this is only an issue for finding a sleeve to carry it in to protect it. I found a sleeve at Wal-Mart (also here at amazon.com) by Targus( Targus 10.2-Inch Slipskin-Peel Netbook Case )that looks great and fits perfectly. It comes in burgundy colored trim that matches exactly. It is slightly more here at amazon.com unless you get the blue trimmed one, which is about half the price as Wal-Mart. If you are looking for a full time computer, a netbook is not for you, but if you want mobility at a great price then I highly recommend this Gateway.

Acer Aspire AO532h-2806 10.1-Inch Netbook (Amethyst Purple) Review

Acer Aspire AO532h-2806 10.1-Inch Netbook (Amethyst Purple)
This Acer netbook is a compact, capable performer for basic applications. It really is thin and easy to transport. The keyboard is surprisingly large for a netbook and relatively easy to adjust to from desktops. The battery life seems up to expectations, and the Windows 7 operating system works well. This reviewer strongly recommends upgrading to a 2 GB memory to speed up operations. There are three USB ports, which allow use of external devices. This reviewer suggests adding an external DVD/CD player to make up for the one serious omission in the makeup of this netbook.

Acer Aspire One AOA150-1447 8.9-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Sapphire Blue Review

Acer Aspire One AOA150-1447 8.9-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Sapphire Blue
I bought this computer primarily to use at school for taking notes and writing papers, but I have been using it for pretty much everything since I got it. It’s faster than I expected (faster than my expensive Piece of C*** HP tablet), but then one of the first things I did when I bought this computer was delete all the unnecessary bloatware. It’s light enough that when I drop it in my backpack I don’t really notice it, and the battery lasts a good 5 hours, sometimes more, which is astonishing since it’s adveritised as good for 2.5. The keyboard was a little strange at first, but now that I’m used to it, my typing has become much faster and more accurate on it’s smaller keys. I bought the copper brown, which is a nice, understated but interesting brown (it’s almost the color of cola, or coffee with a sheen). My only real complaint is that the speakers are underneath the front bottom edge of the computer, so if you are using it as a laptop the sound is muffled. Oh, and also the screen has a fairly large plastic border… I’m sure there’s some mechanical reason for that, but other computers this size have smaller borders with larger screens, and thus are the same total size. I mean, I bought the 8.9 because I wanted a smaller computer, not a smaller screen.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1201N-PU17-SL 12.1-Inch Silver Netbook - 5 Hours of Battery Life Review

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1201N-PU17-SL 12.1-Inch Silver Netbook - 5 Hours of Battery Life
I bought this for two reasons.
1. to have a lightweight, yet usable portable to lug around while traveling.
2. to be able to stream internet video to my TV in France (where I live) and where the VOD via internet market is dominated by Windows.
It is quite satisfactory in both respects. Compared to my iMac, it is, as expected, a bit slow on ordinary operations like opening files, and Windows in frustrating, but I’m getting used to it.

It seems like all the rage in personal computing lately is the mini laptops or netbook. These netbooks are tiny when compared to many current laptops. The trend for a number of years was to increase screen size and performance, with laptops ballooning out to as large as 22 inch screens and 9 to 10 pounds total weight. This trend has reversed and now small and light are catching consumer’s eyes.
