ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM Netbook (ep.6)

Incredible dual core netbook for the price!

I use it to: surf the Internet, working on PowerPoint presentations and essays on the go, music, watching movies / TV shows on the go, chat, email
This netbook is certainly what I need better than I expected. I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional 32bit and 2GB of RAM. It is amazing. I can feel the dual core processor to work when I’m on all my programs when I open a new program, for something this small, I usually expect it to take about 10 or 20 seconds to load, but the 1015PEM should probably average about 5. The Super Hybrid Engine can last 11 hours on low settings and 8 hours on the highest setting on a full charge to me. This in addition to the dual core is the icing on the cake.
Speakers are super strong high-volume, and they are facing down on the front bottom of the netbook. This is great for those who just want music when they close the lid.
I could not get the pinch to zoom to work for my touchpad, which is disappointing because I was looking forward to it, but I do not need to zoom and that much anyway. CTRL + scroll up n down work very well for me.
I would not recommend this laptop as main computer. This netbook is just a portable on-going expansion for me (like a tablet is for most people) I have a much more powerful laptop at home that I treat as an office now. Dropbox is the program most useful for me now, it makes my files sync effortlessly when I save my document on a computer, it saves a few seconds later the other automatically.
I especially like the matte finish of the computer, do not need to worry about fingerprints. I have the matte white and it looks very clean. The screen is also matte and works great outdoors, with or without sunlight.
The camera and the microphone works well for me, even on an internet connection attached to my phone.
This netbook netbook is now # 4 on sale on Amazon.com. When I bought it last week, there was a magazine and I’m glad it’s picking up in sales because it is probably the best netbook for the price. 11 hours of autonomy + dual core will probably become the norm in the future, but for those on the market for a cheap netbook now good, I highly recommend it.
