 "Great little netbook" 2009-12-11
By Ebony Wronds (UK)
This is my third Asus netbook - and the best. I started with the 701, traded up to the 901 and now I have given the 901 (also a great machine) to my partner because my head was turned by this Seashell model. I agonised over whether to get this 1008 or the 1005 (with the better battery life, user upgradeable memory & battery). I'm pleased with my decision to go with this one - the covered ports are a bit of a fiddle, and I do worry a bit about the battery dying. But the battery life is good, the slimmer case and lighter weight of this model really suits me. I have had 1Kg as my breakpoint in laptop weight ever since I had my first small laptop, a Sharp 1100, and I find the advantage of portability outweighs everything else for me.



The Windows 7 Starter Edition is also great - I thought I'd need to upgrade immediately (I have a full copy I bought) but I haven't bothered. The Asus utility that allows altering the desktop wallpaper deals with that limitation and the others haven't bothered me so for. I do wonder whether I will hit the need for XP Mode down the line, and whether Media Center would have been nice to play recordings from my computer/TV in native format - but the lack of the Aero stuff hasn't mattered at all.



All in all - a great machine, the best Asus yet. Oh & I also anguished over whether to buy burgundy or blue. I haven't seen the blue but this burgundy is fantastic - very classy. It is a graduated tint, moving to almost black towards the back of the machine (ie the hinge area). I am female and the colour works in both professional and leisure context.



I am a happy purchaser.

great stylish little laptop, not the cheapest netbook but looks very good. Does have Windows 7 but unfortunately it's starter so has some basic functionality, such as changig desktop wallpaper, stripped off. Battery life not the best but all in all very happy.
