ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1201PN-PU17-RD 12.1-Inch Netbook (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I gave it 5 stars, not because I thought it was perfect, but, rather as an engineer, I think that they did the best that is possible, and it is a great little laptop.
The display is very good and the performance is what you would expect from the processor.
Cons:
The battery life is short, maybe 3 hours watching videos.
One cannot replace the hard drive. I wanted to replace it with an SSD, but I could not find out how to take it apart, and I could not find any instructions on the web to do it.
I bought this for my daughter, I will buy another one for myself, and would recommend it to anyone who wants this class of laptop.
Oh, I forgot, I wiped the windows and installed Ubuntu Lucid, 64-Bit desktop (not netbook edition). Everything seems to work fine.
