Expert Review

The battery is definitely an improvement over the previous model of Asus’ Eee PC. It actually can be used all day long now, without setbacks. The make is shiny yet durable enough. The screen is 10 inches in size and accounts for the clarity of images it provides. The keyboard is well mounted too. The touchpad is extremely sensitive and user friendly. Along with the 160 GB hard drive that is provided, an excess 10 GB of online storage helps in safe keeping important data, in case the net book fails to perform. The 802.11n Wi-Fi provides possibly the fastest wireless connection. Ethernet is also included.

This particular net book has features which makes it clear that it was designed keeping the business community in mind. The package that comes with the purchase of this net book, does not offer much except for the usual comprising the battery, power supply, AC cable and primary documents. The rocker left/right button right below the touch pad is extremely responsive and is a revelation compared to the otherwise stiff buttons on the Eee PC 1000 series. The major aspect which differentiates this model from its predecessors is its removable battery which comes of great advantage to the user.
