Acceptable as a Limited Use PC.
ll the features as advertised function properly, e.g. wifi, SD port,
& Ethernet. It starts up about as fast as my MAC mini (Core 2 Duo, 1G),
hardy an instant-on PC. The suite of apps are adequate for a limited needs
user. The screen size is definitely an improvement over the previous 7"
screen. The screen size would have been more useful at 1024X800 versus
the 1024x600. The screen brightness and sharpness are very good, though.
Negatives:
As mentioned by others, the in-use battery life is very poor. What hasn't
been mentioned, though, is the power-off (non-use) battery life which is
very very poor and is about 5 days. This negative feature shortens the
Lithium-Ion battery's overall useful life significantly, especially when
the battery becomes fully discharged from non-use multiple times.
There's no option to change how the battery life is affected whether
in-use or during power-off and no main power switch which would have
solved this problem.
The O/S (KDE) lacks the overall capabilities and usefulness of a
Ubuntu Linux which would have been a better install and more
comparative to a WIN X/P O/S which was the other O/S option for this
PC. Most who are more of an WIN/MAC power user would probably
prefer Ubuntu, or just select the WIN X/P version of this PC.
Summary:
If it weren't for the very poor battery life, I'd again buy this PC
and would recommend it for others. Therefore, if I had known this
problem prior to my purchase, I would have considered other
sub-notebook PC options.
its a good li'l puppy laptop
I am writing this review on my new asus eee pc after using it for 4 hours now. Takes a bit of time to get used to typing on this thing. But its good, I tried to get the xandros advanced desktop on it but didn't work the first time.. Have to try later. But overall I am more than happy to have this tiny laptop. BTW it comes with its own pouch, I couldn't figure it before I bought it, bought another from amazon.
I tried some files of 150 KB text files on openoffice calc, works reasonably, movies songs, youtube works just fine.
My verdict its a puppy, and is ultra portable with good battery life
