ASUS netbook has great battery life June 28, 2010
Jane S. (Edmonton, AB Canada)
I have never had a laptop or netbook before so it was/is a bit of a learning curve to use vs a desktop, however the LONG battery life of this netbook is impressive. A friend who is a 'computer nerd' recommended this vs others on the market and so far we are pleased.
 Great battery life, otherwise decent netbook June 24, 2010
Andrew Neilson (Windsor, ON Canada)
I just used this netbook for a 30 day trip to Europe and I got a lot of use out of it. The battery life is fantastic; with a normal amount of use I was easily able to go several days without charging it. My main complaint is that it is really, really slow by today's standards, though you should probably expect that based on its specs.
The multitouch on the touchpad also gets very annoying. The computer is so slow that I often make several discrete movements on the touchpad and they will be interpreted as happening all at once. This is then considered to be "multitouch" and instead of simply moving the cursor around the screen the computer will be straining to do a series of zooms (in and out) and scrolls (up, down, left, right). VERY annoying, and it happens all the time.
If you need a cheap computer with great battery life, it will do the job, but don't plan on using this as your primary computer.
 Portability is what sold me... May 16, 2010
Mr. Jan Timmers (Penticton, B.C.)
I've had this netbook for a couple months, bought it about the end of February from amazon.ca - impressed again by the stress-free shopping on amazon. I think the best thing about this netbook, is that it's the simplest thing to carry around, or just slip somewhere on a table in amongst a lot of other things, or rest on your lap. Even though a lot of computers call themselves laptops, very few can really guarantee that fact - have you felt how hot some of them get? Not a problem with this one. There are times when the fan will run (I feel the warmth being blown out the vents, but can't hear the fan running - it's quiet!), but when this thing is on power saver mode, it's not really taxing the processor, so there's not a lot of heat being generated.
I charge this netbook from time to time (I've never timed it, but it certainly doesn't take long, ie: less than a couple hours), and use it in battery mode only. The battery indicator information is a little optimistic at times, but I don't pay much attention to it. When the warning pops up, telling me I have an hour of use left, then I start thinking about recharging the battery. I haven't timed the overall use I get on a charge, but it's easily over 10 hours of mixed use. Claimed battery life of 14 hours would be possible, I think, if you were just doing the minimal amount to work, and had wifi and bluetooth turned off, with screen lighting down to dim. I don't do any of that. I'm on wifi all the time, and I like to be able to see what I'm looking at on the screen. I don't use bluetooth, so I have turned that off. I was thinking of getting a bluetooth mouse, but I've gotten accustomed to the trackpad. Even though its multitouch, I don't use all those features, only the two finger slide (or 1 finger on the right side of trackpad) for flipping from one page to another etc...
I've done an upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Ultimate, and I've installed Windows Office 2003. I haven't increased the RAM, and haven't found that I need to. I partitioned the drive to allow me to install Ubuntu Linux 9.10 (haven't done the upgrade to 10.04, but have test run that off a USB flash drive, and it works perfectly also). I don't use Linux much, I installed just because I was curious to see if it was difficult to do - it wasn't. I've used Linux for over 15 years, but experience wasn't a necessity to install it on this netbook.
I use the Splashtop feature (push the left "on" button, and you're using certain applications in about 15 seconds) from time to time, but I usually am in Windows 7, which I put into hibernate mode when I shut the lid, and wakeup is quick (ie: less than 30 seconds). I use Skype quite a bit, and have gotten compliments from the people who I do this with, on the camera and sound quality of this netbook. When I use Skype on my Macbook Pro, after about 10 minutes, it's throwing off a lot of heat, as the fans are running at full speed, and a system resource check shows a lot of use by Skype. I don't have this problem at all with the Asus netbook. Skype runs very well, and doesn't use many resources at all, and I don't see a tremendous difference in battery usage, with this netbook.
People who are thinking of buying this netbook as their only computer, thinking it will "do it all" - don't! It has it's place in the useful category, but it does have limitations. Similar to a family sedan, it will perform well for everyday tasks. But don't expect to pull a 45' trailer with it, and don't expect to carry 2000 lbs of cement in the trunk. So don't expect to open a 100000 page document with this netbook, and don't expect to do any video processing with it, and you'll be as satisfied as I am with it.
Awesome little machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! April 21, 2010
Beverley Harvey (Fonthill, Ontario Canada)
This little netbook is awesome!! Perfect for email or surfing anywhere in the house.
Liked it so much I bought one for my husband who takes it to work.
The hybrid engine is great on battery life. I have been using it for over 3 weeks and only charged it 4 times.
It certainly won't replace a desktop/laptop but for light duties and portability it can't be beaten.
Very Pleased April 19, 2010
D. Blake (Nova Scotia)
I have had the Asus EEE Pc 1005PE PU17 for over a week now and I just love it. I was worried that the small right shift key was going to slow me down. My earlier Asus had the small shift key and I eventually resorted to typing with two fingers, but not with my new computer. The shift is in the perfect spot for my fingers. I can't believe the amount of run time I have been getting with this battery. I attended a weekend course recently, with the computer running on battery both days and a few hours Saturday evening, and I just couldn't kill the battery.
I bought a small Targus notebook cooler for my earlier Asus because it ran fairly hot, but I haven't needed it with this machine. It runs very cool.
I have seen some complaints written about the bumpy touchpad; well, I like it a lot. No complaints here. As well, I put two gigabytes of RAM in the machine and am very happy with its performance. I also bought the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook mouse and it has been performing well, though it took a bit of perseverance to get it set up. Everything is running well, now.
I also have to say how impressed I am with Amazon's service. I ordered my laptop and extra RAM early Good Friday morning, and the package arrived on Thursday. Very prompt.
