ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-VU1X-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 8.5 Hour Battery Life Review

ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-VU1X-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 8.5 Hour Battery Life
I am a recently retired computer systems engineering professional that bought this on a whim to serve as a vacation travel system so I can check e-mail, flight reservations, weather, etc. As a major bonus it is a full fledged computer though not high powered but it has great video, networking, more than adequate disk. The KBD and touchpad are excellent. I bought it with XP Home and installed Office 2007 (which I do not care for [Office 2003 is just fine] but it came with the netbook) as well as numerous other applications. I had heard ASUS makes good products so I gambled — and won the lottery as this machine for only 9 is a bargain. I am just as happy with this as the numerous Dell Latitude laptops I’ve had. This quality of this far exceeds what I expected. Thank you, ASUS.

Asus Eee PC 1001P-MU17-WT 10.1-Inch Intel Atom Netbook Computer (White) Review

Asus Eee PC 1001P-MU17-WT 10.1-Inch Intel Atom Netbook Computer (White)
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.

ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-VU1X-PI 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - 8.5 Hour Battery Life Review

ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-VU1X-PI 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - 8.5 Hour Battery Life
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.

Acer AO532h-2588 10.1-Inch Onyx Blue Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life Review

Acer AO532h-2588 10.1-Inch Onyx Blue Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life
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.

MSI Wind U100-641US 10-Inch Black Netbook - 3 Cell Battery Review

MSI Wind U100-641US 10-Inch Black Netbook - 3 Cell Battery
I keep the wind plugged in (the battery does suck) on my reading table and use it to casually surf the internet, check email and occasionally do a bit of work. I took the advice of another review and removed ms office suite and use open office for my word processor, but rarely have need for it anyway. For my purposes it’s perfect. The keyboard is easy to type on, the screen size is small but fine. Don’t expect anything out of the speakers; just use ear buds. I would not only recommended this product to a friend but wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to buy another one tomorrow for myself if mine was lost or broken.
I hope this helps a someone sitting on the fence.

Lenovo S10-2 10.1-Inch Nature Netbook - Up to 6 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Lenovo S10-2 10.1-Inch Nature Netbook - Up to 6 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
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.

HP Mini 110-1020NR 10.1-Inch Netbook - Up to 3.5 Hours of Battery Life Review

HP Mini 110-1020NR 10.1-Inch Netbook - Up to 3.5 Hours of Battery Life
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.
