Advantages: great price for size and features, is very well made

Disadvantages: no bluetooth, battery is fair but nothing special

I have owned this net book model for around 6 months, and have been impressed at almost every feature of it. It is extremely small, as the specs will say, and so is extremely portable, and only weighs around 1kg.

The screen fills the back unlike the 700 models before it. The inbuilt webcam, speakers and wireless make it very convenient. The only thing lacking is bluetooth connectivity, which can be easily added with a dongle costing less than £5.

The battery life is fair, but not exceptional. Extra size batteries are available, but come at some price, as only ASUS brand ones will do. The solid state drive is extremely fast, and is more reliable than a normal hard drive in that it will withstand greater forces from drops and bangs.

Overall, i would recommend this PC. I have installed windows on mine for ease, but linux is also good for most tasks.

Summary: excellent, cant beat it for price
