My review

I think it’s necessary to have a product at least one month to be able to do a relevant review. I had to look very hard to find any negative remarks about this netbook. There is one it’s a fingerprint magnet that’s it.

I wasn’t surprised to see all the great reviews. It’s better then the comparable Acer mainly because it’s easier to upgrade the memory which is around $19.00 to kick it up to 2 gb.

Running the little laptop the last month I was impressed with the bottom, because I had a few laptops that had heat issues I was always checking the bottom case for any heat- NONE.

The computer is faster then my desktop. One good thing about a netbook is you tend to NOT fill it up with the normal stuff, music, files etc. The netbook is dead quiet and needs no set up other then to plug it in. I was able to get it at Best Buy for 259.00 plus tax, which is crazy since they are closing 50 retail stores because they are the Worst Buy around usually. I don’t know what it is when I go to Best Buy I always get crazy deals, it must have something to do with the employees/staff being too busy planking to care about actually working, since the CEO (Brian J Dunn) was reportedly too busy having an inappropriate relationship with a young 29 year old subordinate. As ridiculous as it may be, Best Buy’s CEO (Dunn), will probably get between $1-$3 million dollars in severance pay/stock.

I hate to admit this but you can actually check your email laying in bed with this on your chest

I’m not a total net addict but I’m sure you can check out your blog while on the toilet with this

The hard drive is fast and quiet I have not come across anything negative to say about the asus eee PC so I won’t . I also thought it was cool they included Microsoft Works for free and they have this Hybrid engine which lets  you tweak what setting you want, high performance etc. They have forums were you can change the bios and do all kinds of tweaks I will just run it factory is fine with me. When I get my money tomorrow I will probably grab the 2 gig chip although it doesn’t need it.

Have you got netbook crazy yet ? which one did you get and do you like it

This is perfect for bloggers whose family tries to HOG the main computer and block your flow
