This has to be one of the best low price notebooks. I strongly recommend it!

CUSTOMER REVIEW -

I bought this netbook 1 year and 7 days ago when my old laptop died, and for most of that year, I've been a happy camper. But 3 weeks ago, my EEE started dropping its internet connection (with another computer right next to it online succesfully), and then 2 days ago, it started freezing completely with no warning or apparent cause, requiring a hard reboot. I did a factory reset yesterday, wiping the entire machine clean, and crossed my fingers, but today--four more crashes. Not good. Now, I'm understanding, and sometimes these things happen. But when I called Asus, I was told they would need to have the computer for up to 14 business days to test it, and oh, oops, the warranty ended 7 days ago, so I would be charged for their help. When something dies one week after its warranty period ends, I feel suspicious. This is obviously supposed to be a cheap computing solution, but how cheap is it if you need to replace it one year and one week into its lifespan?

I love it! I got it for my school work and it's working great. Of course this kind of computers is not for heavy use, so I have another computer that I use to surf the net and do most of my work. Keyboard is not hard to get used to since it is smaller but it's not as small as the other notebooks. The Battery life is not 9 hours, I've tried it lol however it is around 8 which is not a big difference so I'm ok with that. The screen is small but that is what you get for getting a notebook. The only reason that I'd not recommend this product for is with the Ipad you get the same features you look for in a notebook for school with a little bit more money.

I can understand how reviewers who received good versions of this netbook are able to give good reviews. Unfortunately, for me, I received one that completely crashed soon after I received it, resulting in the dreaded "blue screen" and leaving me with a doorstop, instead of a usable computer. What added insult to injury is that I spent a good amount of time testing the computer before I left on an important road trip I was going to take. On that trip, I was going to use the netbook for documenting my journey. Everything worked fine here at home. But, the first time I started the computer once on the road, it died. I promptly returned it, got a refund, and will not be purchasing anything from ASUS now or in the future. In fact, I finished building a new computer this spring, and purposely avoided purchasing anything from ASUS. ASUS needs to exercise more quality control. They have lost another customer due to my experience with one of their products.

Ok, Here is the long and the short. I got it and it did not work. I gave two stars because it came early in the mail. It has never worked. Then I had to call tech services and had to stay on the phone with them for hours to figure out that the thing was broken and needed to be sent back. I could have told them that from the beginning. I was considering purchasing one for my sister, she is going to college in August but no no no no. It has been a pretty bad experience.
