User Reviews about ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1001P-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook (Up to 11 Hours of Battery Life)

There are many in depth tech-savy reviews already posted for this little machine, so I will be to the point and brief.
It is worth every penny. It is fast, quiet, efficient, and the battery gives me an average of 6 to 7 hours before I have to plug in. This is perfect for me. You can get more like 9 or 10 hours if you are just doing some light web surfing and email type stuff. I use this netbook for web surfing (install Firefox on this netbook) and managing my itunes. Surprisingly it even handles my netflix movies with no problems! What a great little movie player it has turned out to be! AND...it even runs one of my favorite online games near perfectly. and it is a full 3D game called Wizards101. It finds and auto connects to any WIFI with no problems at all. I take this netbook to work and have it with me on my desk next to my work computer. Its so small and good looking and it gets me into some of the websites that I may not want work to know im browsing...like Amazon haha! So yeah...im pretty darn impressed with the capabilities of this netbook. I did upgrade the RAM to 2GB before I ever turned the netbook on so I couldnt tell you how it works on the standard 1GB. So for me it is a great netbook. it has totally replaced my big heavy laptop and with such a huge memory this liitle netbook can grow with me. And heck, its so inexpensive that I could just upgrade to a new one every year if I really wanted to haha ;) Great for the internet. email. certain games, even 3D...although its not going to run a lot of them too well. for my game its just fine! great for managing your iTunes and updating your iPhone. Watch all your Netflix movies with no problems. Windows 7 is a breeze and user friendly. Store all your photos, music and videos on a seperate hard drive if you want because it come with 2 HUGE storage drives. Its light and the screen is not a glossy high reflective fingerprint magnet which is great! Anyway, I love this netbook, and Im so happy i found it! I will buy another one when they come out with one that just blows these specs away. until then, im a satisfied buyer. -- Surpassed expectations

ASUS eee pc has everything I was looking for. Long battery life, light weight, cheap etc.

I have had a couple of problems that is worth sharing with other who are looking to purchase this.

1. The rebate is scam. I did not get my rebate despite filling up all forms properly, and sending them to right place. They first denied my rebate notifying me that the UPC does not match. I emailed them, and they told me to resend the documents to a different address. Next time, they denied notifying me that my paperworks were too late.

2. The battery life reduces much faster. It powered up around 9-hours initially (at nominal use), but within 1-year it is reduced to about 5-hours with the same work loads.

3. Mic died. The built in mic and speakers do not seem to be reliable. The mic does not work at all. I now need to carry an extra external mic if I plan to use it. I can't believe that the components are made of cheap materials that stops working in a short time.

4. Hard drive disk slow. Sometime it takes several seconds to execute an operation, if it needs to access the hard drive. -- Good until broken

After extensive research into netbooks I bought the Eee PC 1001p-pu17. I wanted the following features (in order of importance): non-glare screen, recovery disc, long battery life, wlan b/g/n, decent keyboard, and bluetooth. The other netbook I considered was the HP Mini 210. I chose the 1001p because all the e-retail sites stated that it comes with a recovery disc, which is important to me because at some point I want to upgrade the hard drive. I was shocked and dismayed when I opened the box to find no recovery disc. I called ASUS and they told me they no longer shipped the computers with a recovery disc. If I still wanted one I would have to buy it from them for $30. Well it actually is $37.93 with S&H and CA tax. I really felt cheated that ASUS decided to do this, yet didn't bother to tell their retailers about it.

As for the computer, it is decent. I get about 7-8 hours of real life use from the battery. The Express Gate alternate OS is neat to have if you want to quickly get on the internet. But since it is a different OS the resolution is lower than Windows 7. The keyboard is on the flimsy side, with a noticeable flex when I type. But the size is decent and I am able to touch type without much problems. Windows 7 Starter is decent, but I wished it included a full version of Windows Media Player, since it doesn't play videos/DVD. And I have noticed that upgrading the RAM to 2Gb has made an improvement in performance. -- ATTENTION: No recovery disc included!

In the two weeks that I've had this netbook (my first) it has consistently exceeded my expectations. Battery life is excellent - not quite 11 hours, but definitely 8+ hours with moderate use and screen brightness several levels above the minimum. The design is aesthetically pleasing and the keyboard is comfortable enough to type on and use. I may upgrade the RAM in the future, but I haven't felt any need for it yet; the system is surprisingly snappy. My main computer is a Mac and I haven't really used Windows computers since XP, so I was wary of Windows 7 Starter, but I've found it to be surprisingly elegant and intuitive compared to XP. Asus's on-board application for changing the wallpaper even eliminates the only thing that the Starter version purposely cripples that I would have missed.

All in all, I'm a very satisfied customer. -- pleased
