Slow, Bad Audio and Disk Crashed. Bad ServiceNovember 21, 2009 Richard Bagge(Detroit) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The machine is too slow to play a movie.
Too slow for NetFlix instant watch.
The maximum audio level is too low.
After eight months the hard drive crashed.
ASUS service wants me to send the entire machine back.
I can buy a new drive for about the same price as the shipping.
ASUS technical service is a joke. Worse than Dell.
Don't waste your money, but a real laptop.
It lives up to hypeNovember 19, 2009 Bart M. Aiello(San Jose, CA USA) I did a lot of research on 10.1" netbooks and this is the one which stood out to me. The size and battery life were really important and the fact that it has XP didn't hurt. The reviews on Amazon really helped also. I ordered the 2 gig memory and the leather carrying pouch sleeve at the same. The orders came separately but in a reasonable time frame. I set up the computer with the original memory but when I added the 2 gigs, it did make a noticeable difference. The leather carry pouch was great idea. It protects the computer just like a mobile phone leather carrying case does. The finger print issue is eliminated. I highly recommend it also. The computer works great but I am not sure what settings give you 9+ hours of battery life. Under normal use with normal settings I have gotten 5-6 hours. No real complaint there because as we all know these battery life claims are not realistic. There are ways to crank down the computer but you sacrifice brightness and speed. The track pad is a little sensitive and sometimes has its own mind but all manageable. All in all, it is a great little computer and I highly recommend it.
Screen ProblemsNovember 19, 2009 S. Perle(Bridgeport, CT) When we got the ASUS my wife, who this was purchased for, loved it. Then within a week after one of those ubiquitous Windows updates the backlight stopped working properly. If one powered down the computer the backlight would work for a short while and then it wouldn't. After quite sometime with ASUS customer support it was decided that the problem was in the screen and we shipped it to ASUS at our expense. It has come back to us and seems to be working fine. So now I can say my wife loves it but clearly we are not happy with having it break down right away and having to pay to ship it back to ASUS.
Great netbook, now running windows 7 proNovember 18, 2009 Erik Hindman I've been using this netbook for around ten months now. This machine is a great value. I'm currently dual-booting Windows XP Home and Windows 7 Professional. This little netbook runs Windows 7 very well even with all the "pretties" turned on (read: Aero effects).
Here's some thoughts-
Screen- The display is fantastic. Its crisp, bright, and readable both indoors and out. The XP-only feature of changing resolution to 1024x768 is great for when you absolutely need that resolution.
Keyboard- The keyboard is also fantastic. Its comfortable and easy to use.
Battery- The battery is one of the best features on this machine. I've personally gotten 9.5 hours playing civilation III with the wifi off and screen brightness at 40%.
Little WorkhorseNovember 17, 2009 John I have had the 1000HE since May 2009. I upgraded the memory to 2GB going with the premise that more memory is always better.
Originally purchased for carrying around the house and web surfing, this netbook has been pressed into prime duty since the main household PC died a month ago. A new PC is on the Christmas list, but until then we have decided to "make do" with the netbook.
I am very impressed with the versatility of this little pc. Currently, it is hooked up to a Samsung 22 inch monitor, external hard drive, Logitech webcam, printer, external speakers and on the household wireless network. It has performed flawlessly. I have not noticed much performance degradation at all. It boots up qickly and runs great. I am sure the extra speed from the N280 processor helps as well as the memory.
The extend feature on the video lets me use the netbook's screen and drag windows over to the Samsung monitor. The 1000HE remembers where the window was so I when I open a program up, the window opens on the monitor it was last on. It is very easy to switch video resolutions for those programs which need the 1240x768 mode.
My wife and I use Skype and while the built in camera works just fine, we use an external Logitech webcam which supports a higher video feed. This netbook handles it perfectly and if there is any issues with through put, it is usually on the other end. We also run MS Office 2003 on the ASUS and it works great with that, too.
The only keyboard quirk is the shift key on the right side of the keyboard. My natural tendency is to go too far to the right and hit the arrow key, but that is just a retraining exercise for the fingers.
I am very impressed with the power of this netbook. While it does all the things I bought it for, being able to substitute for the home pc has exceeded my expectations for this computer.
