If you’re in the market for a netbook, this is the one you want. My girlfriend (and I, occasionally) have been using this one for about 6 weeks and we have zero complaints. It seems like the battery lasts forever. Asus has put together a really great netbook.
Great Netbook

I’ve had the 1005PE for a couple days now and I love it.
The ExpressGate option on the left power button isn’t the best iteration of a Linux based OS. It still looks very homemade.
The keyboard on the 1005PE is great, with the exception of the right shift key, which I constantly miss for the up arrow. Hopefully with more usage I will adjust.
The keyboard is also a little too flexible, but not a deal breaker. Overall it is very easy to type on, expecially with the chiclet arrangement.
The mouse is much more click-able than the 1008HA model that I’ve used. I actually really like the mouse because of that extra flexibility.
The size is perfect for travel. Even though a higher resolution on the screen would have been nice, the default resolution is fine for basic things like browsing the web, writing in Word and OneNote, etc. (What else would you use it for?).
I upgraded the OS from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Professional. Starter is okay for basic tasks, but I really like having the full Aero interface and I don’t like being restricted with customization.
ASUS has some nice additions like SHE (Super Hybrid Engine), but also has some annoying managers like the toolbar on the top and the wallpaper manager (apparently Windows doesn’t do a good enough job on it’s own) that replaces your wallpaper with ASUS own until it is disabled.
All in all I’m very happy with my purchase and I will continue to support ASUS, especially in the netbook category.
Probably the best netbook available.

Pros:
Small
minimal battery extrusion unlike some other netbooks I looked at.
great battery life, I only charge this baby every three days or so.
Fast enough for almost anything you do.
Cons:
Glossy screen WHY????? I bought a matte screen protector for viewguard, and it works well.
no scroll bar on touchpad, you can do two finger scrolling but I find it is not as reliable as the good old bar.
This is an awesome netbook. We own three in my immediate family. Windows 7 is great and runs well on the netbook. Microsoft disables changing the background, luckily asus saves the day with an app change it. It is a great tool for portability, but it is not good for office work. Amazon has the best price.
Hardware Good, Software Bad

I’ll keep this brief. The 1005PE is one damn quick netbook. Running either Windows 7 or Snow Leopard, it boots and runs apps much faster than I would have expected (I upgraded the RAM to 2GB). I was always skeptical about how capable netbooks were, and this one delivers big time.
Windows 7 Starter sucks; it’s pretty well known. This isn’t my complaint. The recovery disc that comes with the unit forces you to install all the proprietary garbage software from ASUS and third parties when you try to clean install the OS from the OEM disc. It’s ironic, because while it’s installing, there are check boxes next to the extra software, but you can’t uncheck them. If you cancel the install during this part, Windows states it has not been installed properly, even though it’s already installed on the system.
This is a huge disappointment, as it takes quite some time to uproot the crap that ASUS installs. My recommendation: buy this netbook with a copy of Windows Home Premium, the do a clean install from the Home disc. The Anytime Upgrade key doesn’t work unless you install from the ASUS W7 Starter recovery disk first. Pretty shady that companies are allowed to force you to install extra software. Oh well.
I LOVE THIS NETBOOK!

I LOVE THIS NETBOOK, ITS GREAT. I WENT WITH THIS ONE BECAUSE OF THE LARGE HARD DRIVE AND ITS 5 STAR REVIEWS. I ALSO BOUGHT 2GB OF RAM AND INSTALLED IT IN 5 MINUTES. THEN I UPGRADED TO WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM AND ALL MY PROGRAMS WORK GREAT LIKE MICROSOFT OFFICE. I HAVE A SLINGBOX AND IT WORKS GREAT. AND I ALSO HAVE AN AT&T DATA CARD THAT I PLUG INTO THE USB PORT AND I’M ONLINE IN SECONDS SO TRAVELING IS FANTASTIC. I USUALLY BUY HP PRODUCTS BUT THE PRICE, THE HARD DRIVE AND THE NEW 450N PROCESSOR MADE ME DECIDE ON ASUS. I LOVE IT AND WOULD RECOMMEND THIS NETBOOK TO EVERYONE.

I have only had this netbook for a few days but so far I am very happy with it. Amazon delivered it much faster than I was expecting as I chose the free shipping option. Pros.: I really like the keyboard.
The sound is good for a netbook,
The white color looks great,
Long battery life,
Easy to set up and to use,
I like the fast start option with Expressgate,
It stays cool and is very quiet.
Cons.: I find the silver clicker a bit stiff and would prefer two separate buttons.
Glossy case, the blue and black colors especially, I chose the white hoping it would’nt show fingerprints so much and I’m glad I did, the white does not show fingerprints as much as the others and it looks classy.
This is my first netbook and I am very happy with it so far and I am glad I chose this Asus over the other netbooks I considered(the new Samsung, battery not so good at under 7 hours, and the new Toshiba netbook, too expensive for my budget at almost $400) For someone new to netbooks as I am and as an inexperienced computer user this netbook was a good choice for me.
ASUS SUCK BUT ((AMAZON ROCK))

Update 3/2/10: I been using the netbook for a week now. I notice there are minor lagging with some of the task that doesn’t use to lag. Also the battery life bar is very funky and inaccurate. It jumps up and down randomly. Today my battery was fully charged but the battery life only lasted around 8 hours. I kind of wish I bought a N150 now. I will keep you guys updated.
Update 2/28/10: This product contains a low z sound from the processor. I referred to two friends who also bought it, all three has a low clicking sound coming out of the processor. It’s very quiet but kind of annoying. Other than that I would’ve to say this is the best Net-book for the price on the market today!
I got my netbook yesterday and my initial reaction was holy **** this netbook looks good! Charged for about *>12HOURS< * IT IS VERY IMPORTANT GUYS. The initial battery life actually started out with 12hours which is amazing. Key board take some time getting use to but it's decent and solid. Touch pad is way better than most of the brand's. Screen can adjust from very bright to deem. Just when I was amazed with tiny little thing... Then I notice something... A low tone clicking z sound coming out from inside the net-book, at this point I was like why!?!!? I really want to keep the net-book.
Called Asus they were nice about everything but after some long hold they told me I have to pay for ONE WAY SHIPPING in order to exchange it. WTHECK? I asked the person… You guys sell me a defect product and I have to pay to return it?? Anyways, I was about to send them to BBB, and that is when Amazon saved their ass.
Filled out one of those exchange fourms on Amazon. Then called Amazon’s customer service. This is what I experience from Amazon:
Sir you’ll receive the new one tomorrow.(I literally froze… U mean u are not going to ship it tomorrow but instead I am going to receive it tomorrow?) Yes sir. And just return the original with the prepaid UPS label the UPS man give you. Here is the local UPS #, you can schedule a pick up with them at your convenience. Amazing service from Amazon. I will never shop online at anywhere else. Thank you guys.

I got my ASUS EEE 1005PE a week ago. I’m impressed. I did upgrade the RAM to 2GB and the OS to Windows 7 Home Premium, but this netbook worked as promised out of the box. Thanks to the reviewers who did such a great job accurately reflecting the quality of this product.
The display is crisp. Sometimes glare is a problem under some conditions. The processor is fast for such a small machine. I notice that, although the machine boots quickly, it does take a little while for it to stabilize which makes the computer a little slow for the first few minutes. Not a big deal.
The only complaint I have is the keyboard. The right shift key is half-size. I continually miss it. I’m hoping that practice makes perfect.
Great machine, great battery life, beautiful and readable display, great value for the money; but mediocre keyboarding experience. I’d say I made a fantastic find with this one.
Great netbook at a competitive price

I was looking for a well built netbook with reasonable battery life, good keyboard, and fast internet startup. The ASUS 1005PE has exceeded my expectations. Connecting to the web has been a breeze, even when moving between different public and private wifi networks.
By running OpenOffice, I have a portable workstation for less than $350. The only software I’ve purchased is Norton Antivirus.
If you’re looking to primarily browse the internet, check emails, watch a streaming movie, listen to a few songs, I don’t think you have to search any further. Even the newer HD netbooks coming out won’t make me regret this purchase.
Kudos to Amazon for quick shipment at a great price.
Power adapter issues
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
My ASUS Eee is a wonderful computer (battery life is incredible), or at least it was, for about 4 months, till the power adapter quit working. I called ASUS customer support and was informed if power supply overheats it will shut down. It must be unplugged from the wall, the computer, and where it joins in the middle. I did that and left it unplugged for a few minutes and it seems to work fine. Bottom line, don’t leave the power adapter plugged in when you’re not using it and it should be all right.
