Most Favorable Review

Great little computer

ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM-MU17-RD Red Intel Atom N550(1.50GHz) Dual Core 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 250GB HDD Netbook
ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM-MU17-RD Red Intel Atom N550(1.50GHz) Dual Core 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 250GB HDD Netbook

Pros: Light, small, stylish and runs reasonably fast - great for lightweight applications. I plan to use it for note taking, coffee shop surfing, etc when I don't want to lug my big laptop.

Cons: Great gaming machine!!! Not. Whatdda want for $350? Don't whine if it doesn't run Photoshop. 2 GB RAM should be automatic.

Overall Review: Get the 2 GB RAM upgrade. Warning - it didn't work until I upgraded the BIOS, I think to 0904 from a 06xx version.

Most Critical Review

Problems with S-VHS

KWorld VS- USB2800 DVD Maker USB 2.0
KWorld VS- USB2800 DVD Maker USB 2.0

Pros: The unit works fine as long as I'm encoding a standard VHS video.

Cons: The unit works fine as long as I'm encoding a standard VHS video. However when I try to do the same with a S-VHS video, there is a sync problem such that there is a band at the bottom of the video that is not horizontally synced properly - the same video out looks fine on a monitor. I tried the unit on two completely different computers and operating systems, so clearly it's a problem with the unit, not my computers.

Great board for minimal PC

GIGABYTE B550M AORUS PRO AM4 AMD B550 Micro-ATX Motherboard with Dual M.2, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0
GIGABYTE B550M AORUS PRO AM4 AMD B550 Micro-ATX Motherboard with Dual M.2, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0

Pros: Works well with Ryzen 7 5700G. BIOS update easy.

Cons: A little low on SATA interfaces but you knew that right? Since this is a minimal build.

Overall Review: Yes definitely recommend. Good support from Gigabyte and AMD.
