hello here is my review of how it works and what i like or dislike about it.

i tried to update the review on newegg, but thats impossible apparently. i put my email there for people to ask how i liked it after i tried wow and adobe products on it. instead of emailing them all back a unique message about the personal performance they want to hear, i can just put it all here and send them a link.

i tried world of warcraft here are the FPS
dalaran- 4 fps
questing in a low population area- 17-20 fps
flying on epic mount- 21 fps(far above ground with view distance lowest)

you can easily play wow on this if you are doing dailies or leveling an alt. it does not do good in pvp or in large population areas. i have done 5 mans AS DPS since tanking and heals require a good reaction time and that would be hard with these fps rates.
---------------
i tried microsoft word.
well it runs pretty much like any other capable computer in the world. really smooth. no other things to say since it runs so well.
---------------
tried adobe flash cs4
it takes a long time to load, it takes a long time to export movie when you play it and takes a long time to open things. some games it will run really slow. also, with flash player 10, it runs flash games and movies slow on the internet. i wouldnt suggest using flash on this unless it is a small project( i like to make games though)
--------------
tried windows 7
it runs really well. i think it look alot better, transitions are better. it feels much more responsive than windows xp, and probably 5x better than windows vista. i am using windows 7 ultimate. there are a few issues though. the battery life is decreased heavily. it seems there is an average of 5-6 hours instead of 10 when using windows 7. also the volume controls stopped working with windows 7. i also could not disable the mouse pad after i installed it. i use a bluetooth mouse so i want to disable it. maybe i can go into device manager and update drivers. finding drivers online is a pain also, the asus website is always 'busy'
-------------
tried bluetooth devices
i have a rocketfish mouse and keyboard i can add to the netbook. they work really nice and feel very responsive on the small screen. i would hate to use the mouse pad. if you ever paired up a keyboard to windows xp, you would know you had to type a secret pair of numbers to pair it up. on windows 7 you need to do the same but it pretends you havent pressed anything until you pressed enter. i figured that out after a while though. no point in a keyboard on this machine though unless you are putting a monitor with this netbook.

tried 2 gb ram upgrade.
you have to wedge the ram protection pad off the bottom. it feels like it will break but it wont. then you take the sides off the old ram and pull that out. then you ram the old ram in. if you dont, it wont read the ram and the screen will just be black. there is not much of a difference between 1gb ram and 2 gb ram on this since you are only doing basic things on a small processor.

it cost 30 dollars. it was the crucial 800..something... on newegg for the 200 pin
----------
tried itunes
it runs just like any other machine. i downloaded watchmen digital copy(with bluray version it came free). you must have all other programs closed it seems to get smooth playback. it runs well sometimes and poorly other times for no reason.
----------
wireless
you can easily find wireless connections and have a quick connection even with a long range. there is one issue i have. in my dorm there is a access point that involves a username and a password to log in rather than just a password. on my other laptop i can easily just type in a username but on my netbook it attempts to just log onto it. it is a horrible problem, i need to use an ethernet cord.
----------
youtube SD and HD
standard definition is like any other computer. it runs ok. HD on youtube is almost unplayable. it is choppy and sometimes doesnt even play for a few seconds. standard is just as good though; because of how small the screen is.
----------
windows 7 and programs/drivers
this is not really a personal netbook issue or related to this netbook but i will tell you about installing drivers with windows 7. i tried to install a printer on my netbook with an online driver. i tried a xp version and vista version. neither worked. then i searched the internet for a resolution and found that i had to install a different printer version for this one to work..i had a 2575 photosmart, and installed the 2600 driver and it worked. i had to go to the device manager and update driver though. it detected the local file and allowed me to print.
---------
battery life
this is probably the biggest selling point for this netbook. theres no point in having a netbook really unless it had a long battery life, or else you could just get a normal laptop for probably less. it is advertised for 10 hours of battery life. with my personal style of using this netbook, it only lasts 5 hours. i usually have brightness on full, itunes up for music, and firefox open. sometimes i play wow too. 5 hours is fine for college since your classes at most last 3 hours and your dorm is nearby. this netbook with windows 7 works really hard to save battery life but it still only has about 5 hours of life. im sure you could get 10 hours if you put it on lowest brightness and only use notepad with windows xp but lets just be realistic with our use and say 5 hours.

if you have any questions i can update this if you comment below.
