For all the rabid Netbook lovers out there, leaving negative comments or marking this review as "unhelpful" wont change the facts.
Making this Netbook usable for me required an upgrade to the hard drive, upgraded RAM and the purchase of an external DVD drive. By the time I paid for all these USB powered components, I coulda bought a decent notebook computer with a much larger screen and keyboard. Now I have a good notebook computer with a small screen and a bunch of extra parts & cables.
One of the few advantages of this Netbook over a notebook is the 7 hour (real world) battery. I've yet to find a notebook computer that comes close.
If you're a broke student with no need to do much beyond email and internet access, this is a great deal. Just don't expect to use it for much of anything else.Get more detail about ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9.5 Hour Battery Life.
