Customer Review

Unfortunately, this is my second Asus netbook with Win 7. My first 1015B was an accident kaputt.Ersatz was needed and so I took this here with Win 7 Starter.
First for processing, which is very good. The matt display is also good, but much darker than the the 1015B. But have already got used to me.

I first offline and Starter Desktop bored upgraded durchgeführt.Dann first selected by the blue Win 7 in a half hour per Anytime Upgrade Home Premium on a beautiful wallpaper. Tips to be found on Youtube .....

Since I do internet banking and Win 7 antivirus and despite regelmäßier updates do not trust when it comes to secure Internet banking had also here Ubuntu Linux to be installed.

Short version:
Forget it! The driver for the Atom N2600 is not Open Source.

Found solution

After many days to try with different versions of Ubuntu and flops I finally found a working operating system. Linux Mint 15 with kernel 3.8.

This is not got a LTS version, have it therefore installed with Mint4Win (Wubi similar).

Mint 15 works perfectly, the graphics are very comfortable playing on the Netbook.Kann also Mahjong and watch YouTube movies without Probleme.Full HD one does not expect even from a small netbook ...

So I installed it

1. Mint 15 in 32 bit or Cinnamin Mate Desktop runterladen.Nicht Mint 14! Not running!

2. Create a folder to insert a copy of Mint 15 and those with 7zip auspacken.Das program Mint4Win kopieren.Ordner I then gelöscht.Wubi could then just unpack ISO, perhaps also so, so chose this way.

4. Create Folder "Mint 15" .Here the program Mint4Win purely kopieren.Dann the ISO Mint 15 Copy pure.

5. In the folder are now the Mint ISO 15 and the program Mint4Win. Now click the program Mint4Win.

6.Now you ask for a password Mint4Win and how much memory make you ready wollt.Ich chose 30 GB and chose as a place "D" .I recommend but min. 15 GB of memory.

7. A pre-installation starts. Restart netbook.

8. Starts Mint 15 as in my case without a password, then it is only in the live mode. On the desktop there are three symbols last links.Das below called "Mint 15 install". Clicking.

9. Now the self-explanatory installation of Mint 15 starts on the netbook. NO FEAR! Only on the previously assigned 30 GB. Windows 7 is not affected.

10. During the installation, I recommend this to enable WLAN. Be already with updates installed.

11.Neustarten.Nun has been around a dual-boot menu when you Neustart.Tut not start after seconds automatically Windows 7.Müsst with the arrow key to go down to 15 MInt and click it with ENTER.

12. Now your password eingeben.Dann menu only select / deselect the language and install. Then perform an update. Under Source Software you will find thousands of programs, mostly free.

13 off Mint 15 can be left below the menu when it opens, the dark symbols are left to unten..Geht the mouse over it, there is a label corre- them but left at some distance.

Closing Remarks

Do you want to uninstall Mint 15? Happened in seconds. Starts Win 7 is, "Uninstall Programs" to. Select from the list "Mint 15" and deinstallieren.Fertig.

Now I'm with my netbook again but fully zufrieden.Gebe only 4 stars because of the lack Cedar Trail drivers for Linux.

2.Schlusswort:
To Win 7.Es runs quite quickly if you deactivated almost all optical gimmicks. Have only glass and folder preview aktiviert.Sonst nothing. Then the RAM is sufficient.
