After two weeks, it suddenly gave a low battery warning and shut down, despite being plugged in. The charger is lit, but the machine doesn’t charge. Since I can’t turn it on in order to wipe the hard drive, I can’t return it without paying someone to erase it. What a piece of junk. Get a Mac! (I did.)

Just got this netbook yesterday. This is my first one. After a 1 week research, I decided to go with Asus because of price, design and comments of users on internet. Although I read some users said that it has charger problem or other issue, so far so good. I will udpate this later.

Couldn’t install ubuntu netbook remix yet. Keyboard didn’t work and there was some kind of kernel error. Will probably be a workaround soon since these netbooks are popular.
100 gb in drive C: and 122 gb in drive D: is what i showed in windows 7. ubuntu disk partition manager said something like 100gb windows 7 loader, 10 gb windows vista loader for some reason. Probably should still wipe and reinstall.
Didn’t come with much bloat. Just an trend micro, microsoft office+language packs, chicken invaders 2(?!) and other oberon media crap. A bunch of the windows updates were annoyingly for the old version of office so do yourself a favor and delete it first. The touchpad is awesome. Case looks shiny and hard instead of bland and plastic.
HP mini HD [...] with broadcom vid accelerator and better screen res support was my first choice but comes with 3 cell battery, no claim of battery life and they tried to charge me [...] shipping and [...] tax. Got this instead with free shipping+no tax.
Seems to still kill the battery over the long term having it in the laptop while the power supply is on. Better to only use the battery when needing it and let it completely drain out. Not going to test battery yet for that reason. Edit: Yes I know the li-ion batteries shouldn’t be discharged all the way. The batteries have something to prevent them from being completely discharged so you don’t have to worry about using it until the laptop turns off. It will have a decreased permanent loss the less capacity you leave it with after detaching from the computer. It also decays more slowly in colder temperature so if you’re hard core about not wanting to get a [...] replacement in a couple of years leave it in your freezer while not in use.
Webcam has smooth framerate, audio is pretty decent. It’s very quiet, still has fan on the left but not loud. Can’t complain about speed. Boots fast and most programs run fine. The brightness is good, I wish there was a setting between the first and second brightness though.
Powerchord and USBs grind into place. It’s really a tight fit so it takes a lot to accidentally dislodge them. At the same time it makes me feel sorry for asus because people of walmart will not plug it in all the way and RMA, can already feel it coming. My other laptop would get really hot putting in on the bed or carpet but this stays the same temperature.
I don’t think there’s anything different as far as hardware in the 14 hour asus eee, or if there is it’s something to better limit cpu speed that works in conjunction to with the windows 7 software, and probably wouldn’t work on linux. This version also doesn’t have bluetooth support, but who really cares, it’s not a phone and bluetooth just wastes more power enabled. The [...] versions just have a 160gb drive, for the [...] it’s better to get this.
Can’t complain too much about the keyboard. I like the up/down keys doubled as pageup/pagedown. There’s none of those useless custom nonstandard keys like a picture of mail, the internet, music etc at the top a lot of laptops have that I never use. There was a lot of programs on startup, most were asus and hardware stuff but I still had to disable half, and windows 7 has an insane amount of useless services but everything was running pretty well. I recommend recommend setting it to classic theme, windows key+break -> advanced system settings, performance settings, and se4t to adjust for best performance.
The laptop scored a 2.4 out of 7.9 in the windows experience index.
My last laptop was asus g1 1680 x 1050 native res on a 15.4″ screen. The letters are tiny because the resolution is so high, and changing it just makes things blurred looking, so using this tiny netbook is actually LESS of an eye strain. Might actually make it my primary laptop.

Just got this netbook yesterday. And it is amazing! Quick boot time, and Windows 7 runs pretty fast for what this thing is packing in hardware. Tried Ubuntu 9.10 NBR and had all kinds of crash issues with just the live USB so decided not to install. The battery on this thing is phenomenal! I am currently sitting here with 99% battery and an estimated 12 hours and 44 mins remaining on the battery life. I was nervous about the screen size but once you get to playing on this thing you don’t even notice the size and the picture is great. Now, you can’t render Hi Def movies from [...] or anything like that, but a normal video runs just fine. Not sure about any gaming on here, but its not made to play games. Wifi is great, never lose connection and the signal is actually better on this netbook then it is on my desktop. The built in camera is pretty good for what it is and actually takes nice snapshots. It has an option to do bluetooth connection, but not sure if it has bluetooth or not. But overall, I am in love with this netbook. Great battery, picture, and sleek looks. What more could you ask for. My only complaint is that it has a glossy finish on it and finger prints become VERY visible within just once sitting. It also has the glossy disply, but it’s not so bad. Ditch the stupid Microsoft office 60-day trial and get Open Office. And like the other reviews, just ditch some of the useless software and this thing will run like a champ. Will be buying another one for my son and wife. Asus did an excellent job with this one.

I got this netbook due to the price point and the newer n450 processor. It boots quickly, and after stripping some of the installed software and installing needed apps (MS Office, VDI for work) I am very pleased with the device. I have had no issues like the other review and have been impressed with the battery life and the crispness of the display. I would buy another if the need arises!
