Smart design; reasonable price; excellent battery life.

You could find similar systems for less; the sheer volume of different Eee PC models can be confusing.

This retail version of the popular Eee PC Netbook, the 1005PEB, hits the required notes, and is a little less expensive than many other retail Netbooks (but more than some online models).

Beyond the basics, the 1005PEB comes with 802.11n integrated Wi-Fi, so you can connect to the fastest wireless networks while on the go. A 0.3-megapixel camera and microphone are built in, which is great for fans of video chatting. A 3-in-1 media card...

Sleek, comfortable, very mobile and quick bootups ; Lots of useful function keys. Webcam is basic, but gets the job done

Has trouble doing any online video chat (tinychat, Skype, AIM) ; Can't watch anything fullscreen without drastic reduction in frame rates ; Single core CPU isn't very fast. Installs and intense applications take much longer than expected

ONLY THE SIZE: small, easy to carry with, light, descent battery life

First off, 3-month warranty is too short ; Second, this netbook was malfunctioning from Day 1 ; The worst is that the service of ASUS is horrible ; Online (e-mail) inquiries ; They do reply to your inquiries, but their answers are NOT helpful AT ALL....

Easily upgraded ram to 2gb, very quick to boot, handles skype netflix easily

I bought two of these this summer: one for me and one for my girlfriend. I knew refurbished could mean there were problems so it scared me when i had boot issues out of the box. The problem was resolved my reinstalling the os and NOT installing the...

My regular laptop died unexpectedly and I had no money to buy another one. I am *thrilled* that I was able to buy this little guy for such a great low price. I couldn't be happier. The screen is great, the mouse works well, it's fast enough for most...

It could be a little faster. But, for the price, I can't complain

Price, power, battery life, and sleek design

Webcam (who cares?) and touchpad

Due to owning this netbook for only 24 hours or less, haven't come across much

First off, I've purchased a recertified one and received it without the monitor working. LED lights and power indicators were all on and functioning but my netbook's monitor screen wasn't. (Shouldn't they test the thing after refurbishing it?) ;...

Excellent battery life and runs extremely cool for everyday tasks. This is an incredibly reliable machine for power management. The N450s are rated to a max thermal threshold of 100 degrees celsius, but mine stays consistently at half that if I'm not...

It has the Intel GMA 3150 mobile chipset, which can use up to 384mb of system RAM, but is apparently capped at 8mb in the BIOS. This makes it really bad for trying to run any higher definition video, or even standard video on web pages that have a lot...
