Excellent product, perfect for surfing and checking e-mail. I originally purchased a Dell netbook and returned it. Didn't like the screen. The Asus has a wonderful display, is fairly fast, and has good battery life.
It has a bright, clear screen, making it easy to see. My 14 year old son wanted this netbook, and he loves it. It's shiny black and sparkly, and came with a carry case. He uses it for e-mail, internet, music, and with school starting soon he'll use it even more. It's fast and handy because it's small. It's a very beautiful and useful computer. "Hey Ben, how do you like your new netbook." "I like it a whole lot." There you have it.
I Didn't buy from Amazon but from Bureau en Gros (Staples) in Montreal less than 6 months ago, but this is what happened: speakers started to malfunction. Do yourself a favor and stick with Dell when it comes to laptops. Call # 4, similar wait time, finally reach same supervisor, says she was just about to call me back (yeah right).
Reboot PC, it now squeals like a smoke detector. She promised to check if the info in her system is correct and get back to me within 24 hours (if the info in her system IS correct, I guess that means I must have taken an astral trip to Europe and purchased a laptop). Called customer support, after 20 minute wait they suggest upgrading the audio driver which I did.
She tells me that even if I wanted to pay for shipping to send them my laptop to have it fixed, I can't, because, according to the serial #, the laptop was purchased in EUROPE. Called back, another 15-20 minute wait, rep says to return laptop, AT MY EXPENSE, for repairs and, while talking to rep, phone line goes down. Called back, 15-20 minutes again, asked for a supervisor, says she will look at my file and, you guessed it, phone goes dead.
I will also pursue this matter with the retailer that sold me this piece of garbage, and if the problem is not fixed, FREE OF CHARGE, and if I do not get an assurance that the 2 year warranty will be fully honored, I will then take legal action. ASUS., never again.
This netbook is very portable. They advertize as 5 hours. I can bring it to anywhere I want to search for information and check e-mails. The battery lasts for about 4 hours. The keyboard is small but over time. I got used to it.
This is a great little second computer to travel with, but they're kidding about the prices on here, right. I just bought the exact same model at a local big box store for 219.00. Even with tax, it was a better price.
