ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-PU1X-BU Royal Blue Intel Atom N280(1.66 GHz) 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook

Pros: Battery life is outstanding (a main reason for my purchase), display is crisp and color is great, wireless works well for me, N and G, ok sound, better than many (adjusting the EQ helps a lot). Touch pad is a great size and has comprehensive adjustments. VLC for movie viewing is working great. Sleeps on/off very fast, hibernate opens very fast. It will hibernate automatically if in sleep for a while; great for battery life. Power supply is small and easy to carry, very long cord length. Power management is great. It supports 1920 x 1200 32bpp on external DELL 24" using VGA out ! - it actually performs well on my Schematic CAD, Matlab, Mathcad and more. XP not Vista.

Cons: None really; it would be nice to have a low gloss display option but most all netbooks are the same (as well as the high gloss case); it has a touch pad on/off switch; it would be better to have a wireless on/off switch or be able to reconfigure this switch's function.

Overall Review: Newegg customer service is excellent !!
The touch pad has many adjustments like momentum track-ball like motion and much more. The adjustments are critical for improving usability, in my opinion it is important to have a great touch pad because in a netbook you will use it a lot if your goal is mobility and lightweight portability. I use a 32 GB USB stick to load software on it by copying CD to the stick and running the install off the stick. Can watch movies from USB stick and memory card as well as the internal hard disk. 2GB patriot memory upgrade recommended.

Pros: Great looking, small and has enough power to run all my applications. Runs great.

Cons: Power supply is bad. Failed in less than 2 weeks. Getting another is hard.

Overall Review: There should be laws in place to stop them from shipping and selling these PC's until they resolve the known bad power supply issue.
