I have owned this netbook for a week now, and wanted to share my thoughts. I will try to update this review after a few months as well (6 month update at the end). Pros: 1. Beautiful design and light weight. This is part of the ASUS seashell design family, with beautiful curves and design details. The netbook surfaces are textured to minimize fingerprint smudges. For that reason, I think white looks much better than black since the texturing shows more on the black and makes it look more grey or brown than an elegant black. The white looks very elegant. The netbook weighs very little (about the weight of a textbook). 2. Performance and features. It's a lot faster than I was expecting, and multitasks quite well (granted, the worst I have been subjecting it to has been installing many programs, streaming videos, and some video processing). There are times when you can notice a definite slower response than a laptop but those instances have been few so far... Read more

My husband and I bought this to travel with. For the money it does what we want it to. We have talked to family and friends using Skype. For being such a compact unit it does very well. The battery seems to last 3-4 hours and could be better. All in all it is a good value for the money.

I've had a Asus netbook model #1005HAB-RRED004S for about six months, like many people I purchased it for a vacation and if you don't expect too much that's exactly what you'll get ... to be fair the display is good, the keyboard is surprisingly spacious for this size computer, with a different OS than the crippleware Windows 7 Starter I probably would have a much better opinion ... after adding memory to the maximum 2gb (which appears to seriously affect the useable battery time) and changing to the Ubuntu Linux Remix OS I have an acceptable very small, easily carried and attractive computer (you can even hold it under your arm to use two hands in the lunch line), just don't expect to do much more than email, basic word processing, a little internet surfing and photo storage (which is all a lot of people need), and you'll be happy (I think my grandson's going to walk off with mine any day now)

ASUS Eee PC 1015PX-MU17-WT 10.1-Inch Netbook (White) Reviews
I have only used this netbook for a bit over a week, but it is very comfortable and easy to use. The first thing I did was to upgrade the Windows 7 Startup to the Enterprise version (with a legal copy of the latter); Startup is fine if you only wish to do Microsoft games, e-mail, word processing, spreadsheets, and internet cruising. It has no real flexibility with respect to personalization. I currently own two other netbooks--another Asus (7" model) and an HP 10"), and I purchased this one due to its dual processor, which is definitely quicker than the HP Atom chip. My wife has taken possession of the HP for her use, as the 10" keyboards are definitely much more comfortable than those on the 7" model. It is definitely light and easy to transport, which is the main reason for purchasing these units. I recommend it to those who are not doing heavy duty gaming or using programs that rely heavily on number-crunching.

I got this little netbook just before going on a vacation. I wanted to have something small and lightweight that I could use to check email, keep in contact with folks, and upload photos, etc. This was absolutely perfect for the price and for its intended purpose.
Pros: The computer really is small. It easily fits in a medium size purse, and is very light weight.
The battery lasted well, although I haven't put the battery life to the test. It charged up quickly. The wireless worked great.
All the programs I tried worked well, and seemed to run as fast as they do on a regular computer. I downloaded some free photo-editing software (from Google), and was able to do some preliminary editing of vacation photos while traveling. I also downloaded "Open Office" so I could use it to compose a letter or a note, and Google Chrome for web browsing. (And I downloaded Angry Birds on Chrome.) I haven't used it extensively - just while... Read more

*** Update after using the unit for a few months ***
We have used this unit to watch movies off the hard drive on plane flights and in hotels (using head phones) and found it to be very nice for travel (or typing from bed as I am using it right now).
In practical terms; battery life is from 4-6 hours (5 is decent average) running Ubuntu as the OS.
The newer Ubuntu 11.10 runs like a champ on it, so Ubuntu 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10 all work without needing any drivers.
Lastly, the memory upgrade to 2 gigs was not really necessary for a Linux distro; the orignal 1 gig would have been fine. I can run 4 or 5 applications and still use only 350 megs of RAM.
*** End of update; you will now be returned to the original review ***
Let me begin by saying the Windows 7 that comes with the system by default worked better that I expected (Slow, but it did work); but I bought this as a Linux portable small enough to haul to meetings... Read more
