User Reviews about ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook (Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life)
Very satisfied with this little machine. It's perfect for for what it's intended for... and what a great percentage of folks want: quick access to the internet for email,news browsing,social networking and file storage. Surprisingly sturdy and a snap to set up. No disappointments here! -- Great little bucket for someone on the go
This is my first netbook purchase, and laptop for that matter. I like the asus a lot. The only thing i can complain about is the problem i have with almost every non-mac (PC) laptop on the market. The mouse pad is a little sensitive. If you get a bluetooth mouse then there is no problem. Other than the mouse pad i love the little thing. great size, battery life, and performance. -- good netbook
The battery is really cool. If you turn off wireless, it may really be able to stand for 14 hours.
But I don't like windows 7 starter too much. It is not as fast as XP. Even after I upgrade it to 2GB memory, it doesn't improve too much. I want to install XP on it, but it is not easy without CD driver.
I bought an eee pc 1008ha before. It was slim and XP. I like that one more than this one, except the battery.
Overall, it worths the price. -- long battery, but a bit slow
I bought an Asus 1005PE Netbook on my way to the airport for a business trip to Spain. I was truly disappointed with the speed of the device while surfing or checking email. I found that if I opened more then 2 Windows Internet Explorer pages the 1 gig of ram the box came with was spent. I was tempted to purchase a 2 GB stick but it cost the equivalent of 85 US dollars in Spain. A friend told me to download Mozilla Firefox for Internet browsing and it made the Netbook act like a brand-new machine that I could open multiple Internet pages and stream video without any problems. I have since replaced the 1GB memory with a 2Gb ($42) but haven't noticed much difference due to the speed obtained with dumping MSExplorer. Bottom line, download Mozilla Firefox!
Peace!

Bought this little netboot about 1 month ago. I have been traveling since then and this thing just keeps running. Not fast, but battery life is amazing. Loaded all my software I was running on my XP laptop (streets & trips with gps, office 2003, micrsoft money, garmin mapsource, and some CAD software from work). Has performed flawlessly. Most of the windows live stuff I uninstalled (except email). I did sign up for the boingo wi-fi because the intro offer was cheap and has come in handy. Main reanson I purchased was portability and battery life. Battery gets about 10 hrs from my usage (I tend to run many things in parallel). -- Great Little Netbook
