The ASUS 1001P (white) is truly gorgeous. It just looks and feels impeccably detailed and doesn’t feel flimsy. I’ll lay out a quick pro/con first before updating it later with more details/observations. Keep in mind, I’ve only had this netbook to play with for a few hours, yet it expels me to write a review, since there’s none for this particular model.
I purchased this netbook for my wife for Christmas. She absolutely loves it! So far she has only used it only for surfing the web, some on line gaming but mostly chatting on line with her family who are all overseas. Prior to getting this netbook she would have to sit at my desktop to chat or she would walk around using the phone. You can imagine my phone bills. But, with this netbook she is all over the house and in constant communication with everyone via the web cam. The only downfall I have with it is that we live in our own little reality show now because she always has the webcam on! She has said several times that this is the best present ever. She has gotten more use out of this than any vacation, jewelry, clothing… Definitely would recommend this netbook.
The Samsung N150 netbook gives you value without compromise. It starts with a powerful Intel Atom N450 processor and Windows 7 Starter OS. The non-glare 10.1″ screen gives you plenty of room, while a 3-in-1 memory card slot and 3 USB 2.0 ports make it easy to connect a digital camera, printer and more. At a scant 2.7 lbs, you can pick up and go at a moment’s notice, and the 7-hour battery* is good for all day. *Battery life based on independent MobileMark test scores.
I’ve used a Mac Ibook for four years, had to upgrade because the 37 G HD wasn’t enough, so for the price decided this was the way to go; at least try it for 15 days ala Walmart.
Negatives:
1. Touch pad unstable, inferior to Mac with two finger scroll; it even quit on me, had to be reprogrammed.
2. Battery indicator innacurate, best to ignore, figure it’s good for six hours give or take.
3. Runs quite warm, good leg warmer for winter.
My 9 year old daughter loves this netbook. The size, look, and feel are great for her. There’s no office software included although a trial of MS office is pre-installed. Plan on buying the home and student version of office for kids’ schoolwork. The battery life seems very good, at least 5 hours or so. Speed is very good but boot up takes a little time (although better than windows vista). There are a lot of pre-installed offers for various services. I’d prefer that the didn’t put so much junk on the computer by default.
I really like this little guy. It is light, the battery works well, it has all of the necessary programs pre-loaded (except MS Office). Seems to be very durable. I haven’t had any problems (unless you’re throwing it down a stairwell I don’t think you will either). The only thing I miss is my CD/DVD Drive. Don’t get this to replace your home computer, but absolutely get it for traveling, or being mobile throughout the home and workplace! Fabulous. One other thing I do not like is how tiny the keyboard and screen are, but this is what you will have to deal with if you want space-saving, mobile, convenience.
Typical IBM/Lenovo product. Reliable, compact , well designed and the installed face recognition software is a definite bonus which has saved you money straight away. head and shoulders above other netbooks that I have had.

This is my first netbook, and it’s everything I want and more! The Chiclet keyboard is what made me buy this eee on the first place. I was skeptical about the Windows 7 Starter, but no worries, I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate with no problem! The 1g memory is not slow for me at all. I’m a college student who uses it for basic functions (ie. internet & word processor) so I think I will stick with the 1g for awhile. This eee is also built really sturdy! Don’t mind the extra little weight because the battery lasts a long long long time! I’m at school 13+ hours a day, and this baby lasts me all day and night with a few hours to spare for video chatting with my friends! I’ve only had this sweet little beast for almost a week, and so far I haven’t had any problems with it. Also for under 0, this sure is a Cadillac of all netbooks right now! The only lame part is that it didn’t come with a sleeve like other models do… also it is quite a fingerprint magnet — but those details don’t bother me.
I just love this little guy. My old laptop had issues with its motherboard, and I wanted to get something as a backup while it was being repaired so I bought this particular machine.
I must say I really love it. The quality of materials is excellent, and I personally feel that they are better than my dell xps laptop.
For my purposes such as internet surfing, and watching netflix movies, and talking on Skype with video it works awesome. The camera is particularly good, the microphone is good too.
