 Awesome little netbook! July 18, 2010
Trewa (Saskatchewan)
We bought these netbooks in black and white for our daughter and they both love them! The battery life is amazing if not quite the 11 hours advertised, but then the girls always have them running on high performance settings so that is to be expected. The asus comes with it's own software to change the wallpaper which was a concern when we bought it with Windows 7 starter. Both girls ( ages 8 and 10) have figured out how to do it and their screens rarely stay the same for more than a few days. The 500gb web storage that comes with it is only a years subscription both it's reasonable to buy extra years worth and for the price of these netbooks the internal storage is more than adequate. Overall we are very impressed with the performance, price and styling of these netbooks!
Great value for your money July 13, 2010

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-MU17-WT 10.1-Inch White Netbook - Up to 11 Hours of Battery Life
I've had it for about a month and so far so good, this little thing delivers.
Pros: the screen is very bright and glossy finish is beautiful. The battery life is amazing, I regularly get 5 hours or so watching videos on fullscreen with low power settings, while around 7 to 8 hours surfing the Web. The Atom N450 processor works like a charm and the computer doesn't get hot at all, which is great. The weight is also splendid, perfect to carry around effortlessly. Webcam is ok, nothing fancy there & the keyboard is very responsive and you do not need to adapt to it at all thanks to the great design.
Cons: As for the small drawbacks, the touchpad isn't great. Your fingers can easily slip off of it but you get used to it. The 1 big touchpad button instead of 2 isn't great either & a bit hard to click, so there is room for improvement. The stereo output, coming from under the front end sounds good as it's on a flat surface, otherwise it can sometime sound uneven.
Other comments: I can't comment on Windows 7 Starter as I installed Windows 7 Ultimate right out of the box which is running perfectly. The 1GB memory seems perfectly fine, although you can somewhat notice that 2GB wouldn't hurt either. Also, I bought the white edition and it looks very good, doesn't look toyish at all.
Conclusion: The value for the money here is simply amazing, if you're looking for a netbook, you have to consider the EEE seriously. This is without a doubt, the most well rounded of its class available on the market today.
 nice battery life, fast cpu, super lightweight July 5, 2010
A. Fernando (Canada)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
battery - got this for the nice long battery life, i get around 4 to 8 hrs on full performance power setting, and around 14 hrs much for the whole day on balanced power setting. i also wanted something really lightweight specially convenient for travelling and on-the-road without plugging in the A/C cord. i was thinking if i should get the more expensive 1005PE-PU17-BU with the claim of "Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life" for longer battery but i saw some reviews in CNET that it also just lasts around 8 hrs on full power, so it's not much difference except that 1005PE-PU17 has bluetooth.
operating system - express gate with its own power button is nice, i wanted to triple boot this with linux (i prefer kubuntu - kde ubuntu) but in my research i found out the express gate power button will lose its functionality. so i opted to just create a usb flash drive with kubuntu and modify boot bios settings to boot first usb drives if present. works great, it's fast in kubuntu. if i want to use windows 7 or express gate, i just remove the usb flash drive. only problem is once i boot again to win7, bios will set it back to original settings with local hard disk as primary boot OS. wish there's a way to make the bios config as permanent to seek USB flash first, then HDD second.
keyboard - up, down, left, right keys are too close to each other, i keep pressing the control key instead with my big fingers. it would be nice if they made them standard size and spacing, even just for the arrow jeys. although the function key beside the arrow keys are convenient for quick navigation, i've quickly learned it's convenient to just press with two fingers the combination keys FN + left arrow (for home), FN + up arrow (for page up), FN + down arrow (for page down), or FN + right (for end). there's also another FN key on the left side of the keyboard.
exterior finish - nice and pretty. glossy top cover and granular finish at the bottom. but fingerprints mark easily the glossy finish. i wouldn't mind if the top was also granular same as the bottom.
cpu power - the 1005PE's N450 cpu is better than N270 or N280.
recovery - F9 recovery is easy to do, just make sure you figure out how to backup that hidden recovery partition coz i haven't figured which is the best way to do it still. will probably copy the whole partition via kubuntu dd commands. but the eeepc forums do make a valid argument, why is there no DVD recovery included in the box, this is in case the hard disk totally fails and the recovery partition is corrupted also.
useful recommendations -
1) google for pendrivelinux for more info on USB flash drive linux. download Universal USB Installer and select your flavor of linux, i prefer kubuntu in all my computers, dual or triple booting with several OS (windows, kubuntu, fedora). kubuntu 10.04 LTS (LTS=long term support) is the latest version. there's also kubuntu netbook edition but it's just the same as the full version, only essential packages are included in netbook edition. but even using full kubuntu version works well with my asus eeepc 1005PE.
2) go to [...] for lots of info regarding your eeepc netbook, there's one specially for the 1005PE. asus also has its forum and knowledgebase website for eeepc.
Great purchase June 30, 2010

This is the first time i was ever going to buy stuff from amazon and i am highly impressed. This netbook is really great, fits into my small bag without even having the slightest feeling that it is present which indicates its portability. It comes with windows starter which is pretty ok but i did not have time to check it out cos i upgraded to home premium the same day i got it. I am actually using it to type this review and it is actually great. It also doesn't emit a lot of heat and above all, it is so beautiful. The battery last for about 5-7 hours depending on the brightness level. I highly recommend this netbook.

Recently purchased the Asus 1005PE-MU17 netbook. Netbook uses the Windows 7 starter edition operating system that works seamlessly. A long battery life, above average processing speed, and good graphics and video are a few of the positive characteristics for this hardware. The only "con" would be the fingerprint trail that is visible on the shiny netbook finish. All in all, a good functional netbook at a value price ......... how can you beat that!!!
