Moin Moin together, wanted to again send my opinion about this and get rid of absolutely good netbook.
Have decided after a long time and a lot of back and forth for a netbook and specifically for this netbook.
I'll start with the "negative" side of the netbook:
So what first stands out is the, quite flavorful contradictory, black piano lacquer. Definitely looks class, but attracts dust and fingerprints magically. However, let's be honest, such a device is so similar to mine, meißt road and / or is used as a secondary computer. To clean .... a simple microfiber cloth and the particle is in 25sec again dust and fingerprint free.
Next to me very negatively viewed the 1GB "small" memory, which I probably should not take it. Well and probably quite biggest shortcoming is: Windows 7 Starter. Is not at all !! For those who surf the only particles and chat at home want to use, perfectly adequate, but to work and real use, completely useless. Therefore, upgrade and a 2GB bar installed, thanks to simpler Extra flap at the bottom, can be replaced within seconds .... and sold the 1GB bolt again thanks to ebay ...: P
Otherwise, it's a really great great netbook, which fulfills my expectations and wishes wholeheartedly. The 250GB hard drive is more than adequate, since I, videos and all that eh manage my music and pictures on a Nas plate. But otherwise the 250GB should be enough for now. Otherwise, offer Saturn, MM, and all other low continually 2.5 "hard drives.
The keyboard is just great, despite strong fingers and all 10 fingers, typing is easy and (almost) like a standard keyboard (92%). The touchpad, okay, well only unfamiliar but after a few hours thanks to the absolutely awesome and finger scroll option really interesting for me.
So now probably the most important on NP netbook battery life. The 11h indicated by Asus are not unrealistic, but difficult to implement in normal operation. I'll be during a normal to medium heavy load on 8,5-9Std wohlbemerkt at low brightness and off tone, but with WiFi / UMTS stick. With activated Aero feature about again one hour earlier.
So my average is 7-9Stunden what I definitely find absolutely top class. And fully coming for a "normal" working adequately. What say my predecessor on "Loud fan", I can not to make absolute. The unit is super quiet and makes only very rarely something louder fan noise. Had to sample times the Medion Netbook my sister, which is an absolute tranquility killer. The Medion particles are as loud as the VUVUSELAS in South Africa ....: P
Just as the poor Wi-Fi reception with me is nothing to remember. Seats with the netbook cozy cheer balcony, in the kitchen and everything without problems .... Perhaps we should even check the setting:. P
Oh well
So on the whole a real gem !! And who wants to have an economic miracle for little money, this unit is absolutely on the right side .....
I wish you also a lot of fun with the device and hope that my review has helped you a bit when deciding !!!
Many greetings from the Ruhr
