ASUS Eee PC 1015PX Netbook (ep.5)

Do not send a boy to a man’s job

From the title, I think I do not like this little guy. This is not the case. This is a very useful netbook. This is not a real high power laptop. If this is what you do not buy this product, however, if you are looking for a small lightweight email retriever that has functions for calculating this is your guy. If you think an iPad and then realize that it is not a computer, and then think about what it can do for me there was no question. I want a real keyboard, I want the memory, hard drive and I’m not a player.
Benefits:
It seems to start quickly – seems faster to start a desktop high power.
It’s small, lightweight, has a good screen with a matte rather than glossy surface and a proper keyboard (remember he is only 10 inches, but it is a good-sized keyboard in) Windows 7 Home Premium already installed, 2 GB of memory already installed, but the superb wifi reception is what sold me. I travel and some hotels that say they have wifi, have very limited range of WiFi. WiFi range and ability to pull in a signal are amazing. I compared my old Acer and it still has 2 bars (4 bars with Acer gets 2 bars).
Some commentators have noted the quality was lacking in the construction of their computer. AFAIK, the computer works fine without any problems. I rate the build quality and high coverage as dull and matte screen: the cover to avoid fingerprints and show the screen to be more readable in bright light.
Disadvantages:
The right shift key is very small.
I hate the touchpad – but I also do not like touch pads – you want to buy a mouse
The battery is supposed to work for 11 hours – with perhaps no screen brightness and letting it idle. In 4-6 hours heavy use.
It works moderately hot to hot – not uncomfortable, but it would be great on a cold night.
No software restoration.
I did not drive partitions where it came with. Windows 7 has a partition tool and I just bothered to get it the way I wanted.
It was announced as having two speakers – a little bit of noise produced.
There is only one input jack and output (microphone or headset – with a toggle switch on the screen)
Remember that none of these small computers have an external hard drive – they cost $ 30-40 and you’ll probably want.
Conclusions:
Would I buy again and should you buy. If you will use to travel primarily as a retriever and email – while doing some computer – I would definitely buy this. It is less than $ 400. If I needed a machine that has no serious computing, however, unless you’re willing to spend $1000 and there are no computers that light. There are some 13 and 14 inches people beautiful – in the range 3.5 pounds for about $700 – $800. I understand that some lighter weight of the computers 13 and 14 inches will be available in spring 2012 for $600 or more.
