ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17-BU 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook (Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life)

Awesome Battery We bought this for its battery life. My wife uses it for college assignments and note taking she can use it all day on a single charge and still have plenty left over when she gets home. Its a great netbook very light and after we added another 1GB of ram its very responsive.

Recommended for Students and Mobile Professionals! My brother is looking for a laptop right now. And I told him what I'm going to tell you. This computer is a steal. Everything about my big, bulky, 7-pound, 2 hours of battery life, Gateway laptop that bothers me is resolved in this nice, neat package. Here are the pros: * Fantastic "chiclet" keyboard (very responsive, great size) * Very light (hardly notice the difference having it in my backpack) * PHENOMENAL battery life (more than I ever need for a given day) * Fast processor, very responsive to Windows 7 operating system * All applications run smoothly (including Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate) The only thing that has bothered me so far is that it doesn't have a built-in CD drive. Opting to download newly purchased software is one way around this. Otherwise a $60 external drive will solve this problem as well. My teachers and classmates keep asking me about this computer, and I tell them all the same thing. This is by far the best purchase I have made in a long time. I use it as my mobile machine and keep my files synced to my home machine using ZumoDrive. If I could go back and buy it again, I would do it in a heartbeat.

COOL I really like my new laptop! The only thing that I have conflict is the resolution wont go to 724 that I needed to downloand and view some programs. Otherwise its small and great for travel. I love the internal wireless too. Rating: 4 (Shanna M. Godfrey, 2010-03-16) ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17-BU 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook (Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life) customer review

Amazing battery life First and foremost, the battery life on this little netbook is amazing. With an external hard drive attached, processor boosted to the max, and the screen brightness at max, it's giving me 6 hours. Selecting power saving mode and turning the brightness down will easily get 11, 12 hours if not more. This is perfect for traveling. I used to have an s101, but the battery life on that was no good for the long haul traveling that i do. The 1005PE runs anything and everything i need it to just fine, with the 1gb of RAM and the Atom processor. There is no need to upgrade the RAM, as I am able to multitask just fine as is. The computer itself is quite attractive, which is also a nice thing. Having sold my s101 to purchase this standard netbook, i was expecting something noticeably less attractive. However, aside from the fingerprints that this thing attracts, it's a sexy machine. I couldn't recommend this computer any more that i do. If you travel, or simply have the need for a computer that can get you 10+ real life hours of battery, this is for you. And at a price of just $359, what more could you ask for?
