 Asus Netbook August 30, 2010
Giova
Tha netbook performs pretty good. The shipping was very fast, I got my computer in 4 days.
Great little netbook August 19, 2010
B. Capehart (ohio,USA)
I ordered this netbook as a web and e-mail browser, it works great. I am very satisfied and more than happy with the battery-life. I am getting one for my Mom who is totally tech-impaired but she is fine with this netbook, when she comes over she has used it several times and found it very managable. Great product, very much recommended.
Nice netbook with a nice price August 10, 2010
R. Khader (Jordan)
This is my 1st netbook, I got the blue version of this Asus, and I guess it was a mistake because the glossy finished is magnetic to the fingers prints... Also I couldn't get the 11 hrs battery, I got 8 to 9 hrs, and I guess it is enough for me I don't need more. The keyboard is comfortable and the multitouch in the mouse track pad is handy. I upgraded its RAM to 2 GB so I can get the maximum response. I recommend this netbook for anyone looking for cheap good netbook.
Overall, a decent purchase August 10, 2010
South Texan (Texas)
Wife and I bought the Asus Eee PC 1001P-MY17-BK primarily to use as an on-the-road word processor and internet connection for when we do customer service evaluations at various businesses. We bought it in April 2010 and it is now August. It has worked very well for this purpose. It's size is excellent for slipping into brief cases and overnight bags, and it has generally been easy to connect when network service has been available.
I chose this one primarily because at the time it was at the low end of the price range, had at least a four-star Amazon rating from a large number of people, it had a fairly large hard drive, and had the longest advertised battery life. I didn't really think it would get 11 hours on a charge (and it hasn't) but it does last for several hours, especially if work is done in short segments. One might get close to 9 or 10 hours if it is left on with no processing being done, but if there is steady word processing, the remaining battery life decreases. If one plays any videos or music, the remaining battery life spins down quite quickly.
As far as usability, it has worked quite well. Screen is easy to read, Windows 7 starter is adequate for what we do, and we have succesfully added the software we needed without difficulty (primarily Windows Office and Dropbox). My wife (who is the primary user) finds the 92% keyboard and scratch pad quite workable. I find it OK for internet cruising, but difficult to use for extended typing. Altho my hands are not all that large, I seem to hit unintended keys, and it seems easy for my thumbs to contact the scratch pad, which sends the cursor flying across the screen. More than a couple times I have erased entire just-typed paragraphs because my thumb apparently dragged (thus selecting a large amount of text) and the next entered letter wiped everything out. This is frustrating for me, but as I said, my wife says it works OK for her.
We treat if fairly gingerly, because it does not seem to be ruggedly constructed. The flat surfaces and the keyboard bend under light finger pressure. Nothing has given way, but we are careful not to put it to the test.
Prior to buying it I read some reviews citing the wall adaptor power supplies as a problem area. When I first got it, I did attempt to simultaneously use the machine while it was charging. The adaptor became very hot, and the machine appeared to stop charging. I shut it down, let everything cool, and tried again from a different outlet. Same thing. Since then we have not tried to use the machine while plugged into the wall --- we let it charge up, then unplug it and use it. Then shut down and recharge. The power adaptor has stayed reasonably cool and has continued working.
One other quirk. We have a digital voice recorder with a USB plug built into it. When I plugged it into the notebook, it immediately powered the machine off, and I mean instantly. Took it out, powered up, tried again. Same thing. I realize now I have not tried any other USB items on it, so I don't know if it was the recorder or the notebook (or maybe those two just do not work together).
Overall we are pretty satisfied with it, and it was a worthwhile buy for us.
 power problem August 4, 2010
Laura (MO USA)
I bought this computer for my daughter five weeks ago. Up until now it has been a good unit. However, yesterday it failed to charge. The battery has only 4% power and we are sending it to Asus for repair. Not sure if it is a power cord or motherboard issue. Hopefully it will be fixed quickly.
