Asus NB ATOM1.6/2GB/320GB/10.1""/NO Notebooks

It is a netbook, not a notebook or laptop computer. If you want the power of a good laptop that's what you should get. If you want a very convenient way to web surf, check e-mail, tweet and use Facebook, this nifty little netbook will do fine.

Lightweight, easy to use and set up, my netbook operates perfectly and is very handy for use when in a hurry. I have not tested the battery life but it seems to last longer than a normal laptop. I'd guess a good 6 hours, but not 11 as some ads might state.

Videos, like YouTube, are slightly "jumpy" because a computer this small does not have a dedicated video card. Again, if you are looking for the features of a top line laptop you should not get this netbook. Video playback is decent, just not HD or as smooth as a notebook or desktop can give you. I would not use this computer for streaming video or graphics editing. Also, remember the screen is very small and you may need to use a little "zoom" or enlarge the fonts to see some forms of text. Sound quality is definitely lacking through the built in speaker. If you need loud volume you won't get it from this netbook. I have not tried headphones or external speakers but I'd assume they provide decent sound. The built in speaker is good enough if you are in a quiet room or have very little distracting noise, but you cannot crank the volume up enough to overcome all forms of distractions. Look elsewhere if built in speaker sound is of high importance. I've used this computer as a bedside "radio" to listen to the BBC and World Radio Network online while falling asleep. It does a good job of that. As you can imagine, that means I've set up the computer on my home wireless network and that was a snap. All in all this computer does just what you'd expect for its size and processing power. If you are looking for a NETbook this is the one to get. If you are looking for the power of a good laptop get that instead.

I got this netbook in good time. I am realy pleased with it albiet one thing I was displeased with was that the battery is not as advertised. I get 8 hours. I dont know if you can get a bigger battery or if it was misrepresented. It is really small and light with a good keyboard.

Purchased in August to replace an Asus 1005HA that I loved. Ok but Win7 is a dog compared to the XP based 1005HA. Should have put the money towards an iPad as I expected to be able to upgrade to Win8 as I hoped Windows 8 would be optimized for tablets and Netbooks. According to Asus not upgradable "due to Cedar Trail chipset is not supporting upgrade to Windows 8".

Still a good Netbook, I knew going in win7 was drag on the system but expected to upgrade to Win 8.

This will be my last Windows based PC iPad and Mac in my future now.

This is my third ASUS EEE. Always satisfied in this company and this product. They are well engineered and time has shown me they hold up well under real use. Even by teenagers!

I couldn't be happier with the performance. It handles W7 with no problem and the hybrid engine gives me to "instant on" capabilities. I haven't tried the battery life yet but I use it primarily plugged. The keyboard is no problem either because the key pads are large even though the layout is condensed compared to a standard keyboard.
