 Who ever said bigger is better!? April 12, 2010

27 out of 30 found this review helpful
After doing quite a bit of research, I decided to purchase this Netbook. This is even after highly considering the PU17 which as mentioned earlier comes with a recovery disk but not the nice matte soft touch exterior. The reason this specific model does not come with a recovery disk is because there is one-touch recovery built in which will restore the PC to its original state from files which are located on the hard drive. From my understanding, people better start getting used to this since it seems to be where every manufacturer is going. I also chose to install Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit instead of sticking with the Starter Edition (see ya later bloatware!!!) which runs very very well on only 1GB of RAM. I have the 2GB upgrade coming this week (just make sure you get a RAM with CL=5). The reason I didn't install 64-bit is because you can't use more than 2GB of memory and also because I didn't want to have any driver issues. In the end, it makes very little difference. So far it seems that Win7 Ultimate even runs better and smoother than the Starter version, mostly due to the removal of all the crapware that comes pre-installed.
Couple of things to note: I installed the new OS using a bootable flash drive due to the lack of a CD/DVD Rom Drive (You can make any basic flash drive bootable). Also, when I was installing the new OS, there were 4 partitions on the HDD. Two of the partitions were your basic space allocated to storing installed programs/data storage etc, however, there was also 10GB and 17MB partitions which from my understanding contain recovery files. To be safe, just leave these partitions alone.
All in all, I am very happy with this Netbook and am glad I purchased it.
P.S. - BOO to all the people giving negative reviews because of their own ignorance! Ex: The description clearly states that there is no Recovery DVD included in the box! Do your homework people!
P.P.S. - Google is your friend!
Well worth the money April 27, 2010

I just paid $340 for this netbook, and it was well worth the money. I bought it for my wife to use around the house, and to take with her to class. Once she got used to using the smaller 'laptop' she loves it. I did all the research I could and came down to the fact that this was the best buy. The build quality, features (including Bluetooth!), low heat output, and excellent battery life I've seen on it so far make me feel like I could've paid $400 for it.
The first thing I did was try a recovery using the hidden partition. You basically don't need any CD like the one review complained about. The recovery partition acts as your restore cd. The 3 step directions are in the short user manual on how to use it. I restored it to factory settings in about 15 minutes, just to try it out.
Next thing I did was clean up all the extra add-on softare. There's plenty to remove so try out everything first, then decide what you can remove to free up some resources.
Another intersting feature is the 'instant on' feature. It's like another power button, but boots right into a menu that will open a basic web browser and let you get on the internet, all without ever having to wait to boot into Windows. I could see her using it to quickly jump on and look up something.
Adding another 1GB of RAM would probably be nice, but she's not crunching anything intensive on this thing to make it worthwhile. If you're doing a lot of multi-tasking you probably want a beefier laptop anyway. Maybe down the road when the RAM is $20 we'll throw it in, but she's only doing one or two things at a time anyway.
I'm an IT professional and would recommend this over anything else right now to those looking for a netbook. You won't find anything else that compares at this price range.

Along with the advice from Turtle James (or in repetition or contrary to):
Avoid Asus Web Storage (hours of frustration and files lost to who knows where).
Mozy still gives 2GB free.
Also uninstall all of the MS Works files (they will screw you up worse than MS Word), and in Windows Update, which you need for the OS, turn OFF the updating function for MS Office products.
Turn OFF or Uninstall the Asus Dock in that is in the top middle of the desktop (forget about that Wallpaper crap, it's a waste of time); it is horribly obfuscating. It is a confusing repetition of what Windows 7 already does.
Uninstall Boingo network deally, same useless interference.
Do use Open Office.
Do install 2GB of RAM (CL5 is the key, they say, and Kingston is clear on having this spec).
I liked the mousepad button better on other netbooks (this is my third), but I hope to get use to it and forget about it).
I simply LOVE it!! July 9, 2010

If you are looking for a netbook for on-the-go or just couch lounging surfing at an awesome price, this is it!! I've had it a week and love it. Like so many on these reviews, I did many weeks of searching. I can't really say enuff good things about it. The specs speak for itself.... but i do recommend the 2GB memory upgrade. I used the G.Skill DDR2 800mhz PC2-6400 SO-DIMM module with the heat spreader.(CL5-5-15) $45.99 from Newegg. Once you get the little bit of bloatware and useless software off it, it is a great netbook!!!
Here are some things that you may wanna purchase when buying this netbook:
-Most definately a must and it does make a diff is the 2GB mem upgrade(just make sure its a CL5 and 800mhz!!)
-Portable USB 2.0 powered External HDD
-Portable USB 2.0 powered Optical Drive
-4GB SDHC card for "Ready Boost"(This is nice to keep in the netbook's SD card reader to use as the system's cache instead of using the hard drive)
-Thumb drive for quick file transfer
-Carrying case
Plese read all the great reviews about this netbook! Also there is a ton of advice on here as well!!!!!
Great Netbook July 29, 2010

A little slow out of the box but that was expected with the specs. Immediately upgraded to 2GB of ram. Great computer with great battery life. No cons yet except for the mediocrity of windows starter.
