Eee PC 1005PE-PU17-BU 10.1" Atom N450/250G HDD/1GB DDR2/Windows 7 Starter
(AS1005PEPU17BU)
Pros: Adequate Storage, Good Battery Life
Cons: Small Keyboard, Awkward touchpad button, Poor Display Screen, Slow
Other Comments: Long battery live seems to be the only difference between this one and all the others out there. In fact the long battery life is definitely something to brag about!This netbook may be portable, but with that comes a small, awkward keyboard, and a touchpad with a button that you have to press pretty hard for anything to happen. For me, the low screen resolution is the biggest hassle. Most websites are designed for higher-res displays. There's just simply not enough display real estate to do anything productive.Besides the hassle and awkwardness of the low video resolution and compact keyboard / touchpad, the cpu processing power shouldn't be bragged about. Until I uninstalled all the trial software and all the other preinstalled apps (including trendmicro virusscan, or whatever it was called), this machine ran EXTREMELY slow.I will only use this netbook for web surfing, which is still a better alternative to my iPhone. Too bad my iPhone seems to be more functional than this computer in every other way.This machine does come with a large hard drive, pre-partitioned into 2 drives. 1 drive, 2 drives... I really don't care either way... I just don't know why it would come from the manufacturer that way.On a side note, I purchased this machine from buydig.com [...]

Eee PC 1005PE-PU17-BU 10.1" Atom N450/250G HDD/1GB DDR2/Windows 7 Starter
(AS1005PEPU17BU)
Pros: Comfortable Keyboard, Fast, Compact, Lightweight, Adequate Storage, Good Battery Life
Cons: Came with windows 7 start
Other Comments: I had the one of the very first EEE's and with the Solid state drive at 16gb and the speed was terrible.... I had XP SP3 on it with plenty of tweaks with no luck...
I waited and waited and waited until the EEE came out with bluetooth and here it is!!! This is the best laptop that you could ever get for what it is. I get around 8 hours of battery life out of it. It weighs about 2lbs or less, keyboard is awesome.... i have very fat fingers.... MONEY WELL SPENT.....
Yes, I recommend this product

Eee PC 1005PE-PU17-BU 10.1" Atom N450/250G HDD/1GB DDR2/Windows 7 Starter
(AS1005PEPU17BU)
Pros: Good Battery Life, Comfortable Keyboard, Compact, Fast, Lightweight, Adequate Storage
Cons:
Other Comments: I love my netbook! It is full of features, but lightweight and easily portable. The keyboard is easy to get used to and the screen is a great size. I love to use it for surfing the net, email, Facebook, and watching videos on Netflix. I'm currently visiting my sister and, even though I'm using crutches, it was super easy to travel with my netbook. I love being able to jump onto my own computer practically anytime and anywhere!

Eee PC 1005PE-PU17-BU 10.1" Atom N450/250G HDD/1GB DDR2/Windows 7 Starter
(AS1005PEPU17BU)
Pros: Lightweight, Additional online storage, Compact, Adequate Storage, Fast, Good Battery Life
Cons:
Other Comments: I bought this netbook based on price and battery life. I was able to speed up the system by first removing Microsoft office as it's only a trial version and I already use open office which takes up far less space. I am currently in Grad school and I store my textbooks both online and on my netbook so I no longer have to remain locked to my PC for reading. It fits in my purse and is quick to take through airport security. I have not yet used skype but my children and I have played with the camera tools supplied on the system. I also love that this netbook automatically searches for wi-fi signals. Very efficient little machine.
Yes, I recommend this product
