Purchased this to use in the field when I am working for its size and battery life. Tried it out last week and it worked great. I think I need to add more memory to speed it up. The battery life was what everyone said – I had on for 8 hours a day on battery and it still had plenty left. I am happy I got it!
A very good machine. Very cute design, ergonomic keyboard. Slow as hell – it’s not the product’s drawback, but the platforms overall. I’m definitely going to get 2G of memory, otherwise there is disk activity all the time that slows down the machine. Haven’t been able to achieve good video performance – low fps, spotty – tried in all browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome). Installed Windows 7 64-bit on it just for fun – supposedly besides addressing 4G+ of memory (which is not applicable) it also manages the memory better. After only 3 weeks of use the Escape key gets stuck for no reason (no spill, nothing) – ordered a replacement.
I am not any kind of expert with computers. I bought the netbook because I had spilled wine on my 19″ laptop with disastrous results and wanted something smaller for traveling. This little machine is great for my uses. Also, because it has 3 USB ports I can run my printer/scanner/copier and any other machines I need. It really weighs almost nothing and I hardly notice it when I carry it with me. The wireless function is excellent as is the webcam for Skype. The only disadvantage is that it doesn’t have a DVD player to install software from disc. For the price, it is a great value. I also purchased the 3 year guarantee with accident protection. I don’t keep liquids near to the computer anymore, but just in case….
pros:
- sleek look; good sized k’board/batt unit
- textured finish = virtually no more grease prints
- easy upgrade to 2gb
- amazing batt life when charged/discharged correctly
- asus’ SHE & express gate
- touch pad includes iphone’s/itouch’s pinching capability
- cost-effective
cons:
- glossy screen casing, creating potential greasy spots
- touch pad buttons are always stiff
- upgrading w/SODIMM voids warranty
to get the best out of the 1001p:
- initial charge for 8-10 hrs, then let drain & repeat for at least 2-3x
- keep under power saver mode & stay on default settings to optimally charge batt
- upgrade to 2gb capacity, especially if staying w/ W7 starter
- install mycolors if you want to change wallpaper aesthetics [...]
add’l notes:
W7 starter is as basic an OS as there is out there. only personal pref’s & usage requirements can be used to rate said OS. those oh-so-many who are opposed to it might very well be expecting too much out of a mere netbook. it’s 289.99-300 USD, for gigabyte’s sake.
Great value netbook. Asus developed the netbook . We started with their triple ‘e’ 7″ a few years ago. That served its purpose very well; a easy to use web machine to be used by my wife in the family room. Virtually no memory and the Linux operating system was a very good entre into netbooks. That little computer got a ton of use by everyone in the family. Alas, its time drew to an end as the limited memory and the inability to upgrade the operting system plus the small screen finally became too much to bear. Then along comes the Asus 1001. Addresses all the issues, and everyone is delighted. It has a nice shell. Overall fit and finish is generally good, though there are a few minor fit issues. Nothing major. It’s Windows. Enough said. Linux was a lot easier to run and maintain, but what are you going to do? For a few bucks under $300 it is a great value, and if you are looking for a light, inobtrusive, general use web machine, it really hits a home run.
