First, there's times here but a rebuke toward operating system!
This, for example, the desktop - just can not change as background, is probably one of the least evil!
What personally but quite formidable bothers me is the deactivation of the administrator! Whether Microsoft the user now has the ability to handling which denies, or withdraws from an arrogance the right to change the system, be times undecided!
I personally use, for example, the editor of the host - file to block individual sites! Have rights - When I tried on the blue haze, the notice of Windows that I do not admin came! So three clicks and unlock from the computer management to the user. Forget it. To find an administrator in the administration because of the apparently activated in the 7 Starter version!
I had there to enable the administrator actually only in the CMD.exe! An absolute no-go, especially when you consider that not everyone knows what to do in such a case, if he wants to adapt the system for his wishes accordingly!
Clear pluses brings the Asus undoubtedly with the battery, the keyboard, the anti-glare screen, the piano lacquer - optics, reading or previous install an external hard disk (in my case was an external 1.5TB HDD within 10 seconds is read), the Word / Excel operation and playback of media!
Smooth Images in the Media Player pre-installed in good quality it with any portable TV - can accommodate device! The sound is a bit tinny but still well under the circumstances (we should not forget that this is a netbook - speaker is and not a 5.1 system)!
With a fully charged battery I got it in Power Mode "balanced" in total 5 hour 35 minute movie brought pleasure!
Also, I have the Asus fabled 8 hours 47 minutes wrested power in Excel / Word operation for any calculations and reports! For this respect, that the promised benefits that are now not just set low, were even surpassed!
Conclusion: Despite angesprochenem "happening" there's me full credit, since I once outside before leaving the operating system in this case!
Recommended that Asus is especially for those who use it for Word / Excel or surf the net! This is because you can use any image editing software, or other resources-eating programs should already be seen overlooking the 1GB of RAM! My test showed me that in Lan - operation to load a website faster by far!
From the software you would be part of the manufacturer can save a lot of rubbish (including such "Highlight's" as the New York Times Reader)! What is all this stuff because it does not need a man! A great companion on the go and always more convenient than a laptop!
Strong buy recommendation !!!
