ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-MU17-WT 10.1-Inch White Netbook – 8.5 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review
Customer Reviews
I’ve had this computer for a week now and it is amazing. I have upgraded it to 2GB of RAM using OCZ 2GB PC2-5400 667MHz DDR2 Value SoDIMM Module (OCZ2MV6672G) and it is amazing. I have also upgraded the computer to Windows 7 Ultimate, and I am getting 9+ hours of battery life out of it. Anyone only getting 5 hours or so is clearly not using a good configuration. I used this guide to get the most out of this computer ([...]) and although it looks more like Windows XP than Windows 7, it is fine for me.
If the display bright and all that flashy Aero user interface, of course, leave, you're battery is terrible. I am a full-time students, and I use the computer at school every day with me and I do not even know you bring the power cord, no more, because I do not need it. The 2 most important decisions for them and EeePC are PU17. I think this is better because it is indeed the best judge to less than 2 hours on, 8.5 + is insufficient, it has more than 100-GB hard drive, and it is a mattdisplay, not glossy. Which helps alot when you have the brightness turned down since matte doesn’t look like a giant mirror.

Good value for it’s money – A. Dolia – CA USA
Pretty good overall.
It has matte screen!
250-GB hard drive!

He can not play all the videos of my HP 14.1 (bad data) plays without problems.
Keyboard feels a little cheap. Keyboard Samsung wins.
Have not had the opportunity to test the battery, my wife does not allow you to keep me, unplugged too.
EEEEK Customer Service Lousy – LoveaGoodBook – Kensington, Ca United States
4 months use of light and broken AC, yes, it's under warranty but they do not have anything, and they expect more in the foreseeable future, offer no alternatives, as a free car charger if it is not lost. Customer service refuses to put a manager on the phone.
Computer battery life is, as announced, but we would never buy this company again.
A ok product for the price – sylvia –
First, I do not know, do not show why the monitor where the product. When I received the product, it is not as good as I hoped. It's kind of slow, perhaps because it Windows 7 instead of Windows XP? The hard drive makes a noise that is sometimes embarrassing. Pro is that everyone knows, the keyboard is handy, the appearance is beautiful. The small size and light weight is very comfortable, are the benefits of a Netbook.
just what i needed – GhibliChris –
I bought it for on-the-go purposes. Study of another language, that is my ideal equipment.
