Customer Reviews
my screen was defective
I got this unit a few days ago, and on the first day there was a stripe in the pixels in the screen. Then yesterday, I noticed that another area began to show the same "stripes" which I was told has something to do with the "pixeling" on the monitor. Otherwise, I love this thing. I am returning this unit. Let's see if this is a recurrent problem...more will be revealed...
Great little PC
I'm one of those people who are afflicted with dial-up Internet access where I live, so this thing really comes in handy for downloading large files via WiFi. Files that would take hours, or in some cases (literally) days to download at home take just seconds or minutes at the local Starbucks. Then I just transfer them to my home PC on a flash drive.
I installed a 2 gig DIMM of RAM on it and, really haven't noticed any difference in speed (and yes, I flashed the BIOS...) so you might want to save your money there.
The battery life is amazing. The first charge I wanted to run it all the way down before recharging and it took days to drain the battery!
Overall I couldn't be happier with this product!
Terrific little computer!
My wife and I bought this computer as a joint Christmas present. We love the ability to use it anywhere in our home. Easy set up. A wonderful product by Asus.
