Asus has made a fantastic product at a great price. I previously owned an Eeepc 900 and loved it for about five years. I learned to use linux with it, I fell in love with Ubuntu using it and really got hooked on having a computer smaller than a pad of paper. I was worried that the Tablet would end Netbooks for good and hated the idea of a crummy throw away operating system made for cell phones, and incapatibility with windows. Then I heard Asus was coming out with this next-Gen netbook and I was excited. I have had it for a while now and feel it deserves a review. I Love It! It is so fast for its size and has tons of space. I run my website off of it and use it for writing papers, editing photos,watching movies and basic email/internet use.

Before I begin I will provide a little more information about the product that should be given in the description.

The Windows Experience Index is 3.7. The individual ratings are as follows.

Processor 3.7

RAM 5.6

Graphics 4.3

Gaming Graphics 5.8

Primary hard Disk 5.6

The 320 GB HDD is partitioned into two partitions. One 99.9GB and the other 183GB. Not really sure why they did that but not really a negative.

The Netbook also comes with a TON of bloatware. Tons of ASUS apps such as a top dock, a special media sharing app, a BIOS updater, E-CAM (adding effects to the webcam) and a trial of TrendMicro AntiVirus. There might of been more that I forgot because I uninstalled most of them as soon as the device booted up.

Interestingly it also has a built in OS that you can quickly boot into by pushing the button next to the WiFi button. Good for quickly checking something on the internet.

The Netbook as a whole is very solid. The Keyboard is a little cramped but not bad seeing as it is a 11" screen. The backlight is very bright and crisp. The tracpad is a little over sensitive out of the box for my liking and the uni-button on the tracpad takes time getting used to.

The webcam is the usual low quality webcam but has a physical switch that blocks the camera and also a digital zoom button along with a on light for the paranoid.

Under the tracpad there is a on light, charging light, HDD light, WiFi light, and a caps lock light.

It has a app for sending media over WiFi to other devices but I don't have a device that supports it to test it out on.

Summery:

Good Excelent battery life (5+ hours of actual use), Decent keyboard, great performance for the price, built in operating system

Bad Amount of bloatware

Weird Partitioning of HDD.

I will update this review is anything breaks or goes wrong.

Looking for a small PC..? If you have money I would suggest you get a Mac book, If not... maybe consider this one under $440. Happy with my purchased! So far.. One of the top netbooks that you can get under 12 inches for 2012. 4G Ram and 320 Hard Drive, pretty good for the size. This is perfect to people who loves to travel..like me. I don't want to bring my heavy laptop with me when I travel. Thin and light 3.2 lbs and faster than other netbooks who only have 1G or 2G RAM. So far my only complaint is the battery, it said on the box up to 7 hrs.. mine only last 4 1/2 or 5hrs at times on hybrid mode. Well no biggie...that's good enough for me thats a lot. I mean, battery consumption also depends on the task you are doing on the computer. Well if you are comparing this to Acer aspire one 722, Just to let you know, I bought the acer aspire one 722 before this one which has exactly the same specs but lasted only 15days, Gladly returned it..the power just did not turn on again. Lemon.. Do not get acer. This one is better.

Honest reviews on ASUS 1225B-SU17-BK 11.6-Inch Laptop (Black)

I wanted hardware that was this small cheap and packed. I needed high specs like 4Gig ram and decent processor. I didn't want to have to pay for windows since it gets flushed when I get it anyway but the general public hasn't accepted that M$ is on its was to being phased out anyway. Other that that all the hardware works great with Ubuntu and my requirements. Free shipping was fast and reliable. First week but running strong and looks slick too. I respect ASUS for kicking my ACER habit. I will be buying ASUS for my work horse Desktop now. I recommend this to anyone looking for a portable mobile with good specs and especially to open source computer nerds who could appreciate this piece of machinery. :D

We got this for my wife to use while we travel, paid a little under $500 with software and a padded sleeve included. It was the only computer we could find that had decent speed & 4 gigs of RAM, was ultra portable that cost less than $800. We could have gotten a tablet but she felt the storage and ports of a real computer would be more useful. It's very compact and is surprisingly fast -with the 1.6 dual-core AMD chip it runs 64-bit Windows 7 no problem. The display screen is nicer (although much smaller) than the one on my $1100 Thinkpad. I thought the smaller 11.6" screen would bother me but it's not bad at all. It remains to be seen how well it will hold up while traveling throughout SE Asia for months on end, but I'm hopeful.

The things I do like about this computer is the large screen, it is lightweight, the keyboard has the numbers on the side. The keyboard also has a nice feel to it. The keys are easy and sturdy at the same time. It has an awesome display and when I'm not having trouble with it, it is quick.

Windows 8 takes some getting used to. It will absolutely drive you crazy at first, but once you get used to it, it won't be too bad. The first thing I had to do was change the mouse so I could just tap it but not use the pinch feature because it would change screens constantly. Read the user guide which is under HP SOLUTIONS that has a ? on it. Everything has changed with window 8. It is nothing like Windows 7 or the previous windows. You will have to change your whole way of thinking. I think there are extra steps shutting down and finding things. There are many things I don't like, but some things I do like. I don't like that I can't print from the desktop. I may not have figured out why yet.

What I don't like about this particular computer is that when I download HP updates it locks up and the first one I brought back not knowing it was the updates. I downloaded them on the new one and it got really slow and disconnected my firewalls. HP says it is a virus, but I have never gotten a virus on my last 2 laptops using Norton and it only happens when I download HP updates. I spent hours on chat with HP and on the phone. I tried to put in the restore discs and that wouldn't work. Then I refreshed it, which took hours. Then I had to set everything back the way I like it. You never get it back the same. Now I have it set to not download updates from HP. Let's hope I don't have a problem, because I will be complaining. I only go on facebook, e-mail and some websites like bestbuy. I don't do a lot of web surfing and only click on websites that are Norton ok, that's why I'm really sure it isn't a virus. My daughter has a Windows 8 computer and doesn't have any of the issues I have.

right out of the box this computer had driver issues with the screen flickering, it beeps randomly once in a while also. The keyboard/touchpad feels cheap and there is a hardware defect in a lot of these, mine was refurbished but refurbished means "good as new" if you ask most people. 90 warranty? well support said the problems were driver issues that later software releases would take care of. not true. a large amount of people complain that while typing the mouse button "clicks" the insertion point to wherever it happens to be on random which makes writing emails impossible.

I've been an HP customer, purchasing 7 computers over 10 years and the last few purchases have convinced me that they are goin the way of dell and making crap and not admitting failure after.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I ordered this laptop (Edge E530 62724GU) from Amazon, specifically with Windows 7. I think Windows 8 is usable, but better suited to machines with touchscreen hardware. When I got the package, I thought that the computer was not new. I was wrong it was new; it had been opened to remove the original Windows 8 Pro and install Windows 7 Professional.

I bought this computer for my wife. After spending some time removing unneeded software and adding needed software, I had become familiar with it. The sound and camera are adequate for her needs, and the laptop itself seems sturdy. The software installed was more useful than some of the crapware on other new laptops.

My wife likes the feel of the machine, and the weight is acceptable; for lighter weight, you will pay more.

The display has 1 dead pixel, but she has not noticed it. If it had 3, I would have sent it back. It's annoying, but not a serious problem.

If this laptop lasts as well, and as long, as it feels like it will, it will have been money well spent.

This is a solid 4GB Core I5 machine with a fast hard drive (7200rpm) and it comes with Windows 7 installed and with a Windows 8 upgrade. With sufficient memory, the fast drive makes more difference in the computer's performance than a fast processor. The multitouch touchpad takes some getting used to. Because the computer has both a trackpoint and a touchpad, the 3 mouse buttons are above the touchpad. The primary user of this machine has been using XP at home and Windows 7 at work and does not like change. Windows 8 would be a very traumatic change. With Windows 7, this machine was the perfect upgrade, minimizing the change from the previous machine. I did delete some of the bloatware that ships with the machine. I also had to go to the Lenovo downloads for this machine to download and install the trackpad software so that I could shut off some of the functions that were causing confusion.

So I bought this laptop to replace my g/f's old Dell XPS 1340 that started overheating. And I have to admit. I am disappointed by this unit. Let's start with the build quality. Now the machine itself had no scuff marks and the plastic matte finish was alright, something to keep it simple, but I have to admit, the way that thing attracts grease is scary. I only used it yesterday and the trackpad and wrist-rest look so greasy. Everytime I used it, I had to keep wiping the surface. (I was trying to remove the bloatware for my girl, we'll get to the software in a bit). But my major concern with the build quality was the laptop dvd drive. Now MAYBE it was just a q/c problem with the one I got, but I simply HATE the fact that the drive is sticking out and doesn't close flush with the surface of the laptop.

Now for the software issues. Let's start with some positives. I came with Windows 7 Pro which I love wholesomely, but sadly, the machine didn't come with any serial key for it. So god forbid there is a software issue and I have to reformat? I am DEFINITELY NOT using that Windows 8 cd they gave me. Going to use that as a coaster! So that also kind of pissed me off. I have to see if there is some sort of third party software I can find online to extra the serial key from the machine so I can store it for future use.

Moving onto the bloatware. It comes with a bit of 3rd party software along with some lenovo bloatware. They were fairly easy to get rid off, just had to put up with the machine rebooting for every single bloatware I wanted to get rid off.

But the final thing that pissed me off, and dropped this review to 3 stars (I wish I could have given it a 4) was a very interesting problem. I have been using computers for some time and I know my way around the machine. But what I found VERY strange last night when I was running through the updates was a weird "failing to configure" error. So because it's a factory bought machine the updates were behind and I understood that. Usually I run the update programme, it finds 71 new updates so I just set it to run the updates automatically. Easy? NO! EVERY SINGLE TIME I RAN THE UDPATES, I kept getting a failure to configure error, So I ended up having to SELECT each pair of updates from oldest to newest, one by one and let the computer install the updates one by one. Needless to say that took 2 HOURS to finish. But it finished none the less.

I finally cleaned up the machine and got it running the way how I wanted it so I am contented for now. It's really for my g/f but she is not tech-savy so I am hoping there are no future problems. Lenovo has usually been renownd for built quality and software quality, that's why this particular machine confounded me. Did I just happen to get the one bad egg?

As for other things, the screen shows fairly clear for what an Intel HD4000 supposed to do. In the future, I shall upgrade the RAM for her so it runs more comfortably. They audio is fine, the Dolby Software does help to boost audio quality, however I did notice it glitch when I was trying to set up SKPYE. Don't know when Microsoft is going to sort out that problem.

I know the review was long, but I wanted to be meticulous for future customers who wish to purchase this item. There were not much others with clear reviews. So to my fellow amazonians online. I hope this helps!

Honest reviews on Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530 6272-4GU 15.6-Inch Laptop

On paper this looks good, and the price is right. However, there are a number of very annoying things about this laptop that have made me swear to never buy Lenovo again.

First, the trackpad is horrible. It jumps and fails to register sometimes. This is not limited to my particular laptop, as I have tried several at a store to make sure I did not get a lemon.

Build quality is not great. My left "mouse" button above the trackpad is mushy with no feel, whereas the right button is normal.

The screen sucks. I use mine to edit photos sometimes when I'm travelling. The screen has very poor dynamic range/gamut, and everything looks like mush.

Bloatware. There is lots of it.

No activity lights. Would be very helpful to know when my HDD is working, frozen, or stuck in a loop. It would also be helpful to know if my num lock and caps lock keys are on without having to try and type something first if I miss the on-screen indication (say, if I accidentally press it)

The FN and CTRL keys are swapped in terms of position. I am still not used to it after 6 months of use. The CTRL key should be the left-most key, so I always press the FN key instead. Very annoying when gaming.

Finally, the headphone jack. There is no microphone jack. Lenovo expect everyone to have headsets that have a USB connection, it seems, otherwise you have to use the built-in mic which is not the best.

I have never had a laptop this bad. My old Dell came close because it kept crashing for no reason and sometimes wouldn't start up. This one has not yet crashed, but other than that the Dell was perfect, and this one is far from perfect.

The only good things I can say about it are that the keyboard feel is great and it looks rather sleek and professional. Battery life is decent. Metal hinges for the screen.

Update:

One more negative point I forgot to include; the trackpoint button (the red thing in the middle of the keyboard you use to move the mouse around) often gets stuck and drifts (at the very least once every time I use it), you have to move it around quite vigorously to unstick it and get it to centre properly again without drifting.

I purchased this a few months back with the help of my son who is a computer science whiz ( what kid isn't nowadays, except mine wins awards all over the country because he's so smart!) Anyway, I know nothing about computers, all I can share with you is that it came very well packaged, 2 days after I put my order in. when my son set it up and did whatever it is you do to make them run, he had no problems. It seemed fairly easy and I was using it just a few hours after he started. The keyboard is very comfortable for me. I am not a big person, I wear small gloves so have small hands , they fit nicely when I am typing. The screen is a perfect size with nice color to the screen. I like the extra numbers bar on the right. It's light weight and thin so not inconvenient to carry. I've had no glitches or problems with this computer since purchase. Have been really happy.

This is a great laptop for the price. Sure the specifications aren't amazing but you can't expect too much for just under $400. I work in the IT field for a living, so I'm pretty demanding when it comes to computers. I had a work issued Thinkpad T410 with a core i5, and sure this isn't as nice of a computer but its also a third of the price. Not nearly as fast as my 8-core desktop, but not unbearably slow either.

Pros: Battery life (up to 3-4 hours), size, and price.

Cons: Core i3 rather than core i5 processor, only 2GB ram, and low resolution display. Occasional issue with battery not charging, have to turn off the computer, remove battery, and reinsert to charge sometimes.

Upgraded to 4GB of RAM immediately after purchasing because 2GB is barely enough to run Windows 7. Only took about 5 minutes, and cost $12.

Overall I'm happy and satisfied with the laptop!

Sophisticated Lenovo doorstop. Bought this laptop for university, it started Sluggish (I thought is was because of first boot). Once I loaded all the windows 7 updates and office 12 (2007) it goes teeth grinding slow even after upgrading to 8GB memory, i3 processor suck Do I hear and overpriced netbook with a DVD player/burner. Imagine other things for school like ebooks and additional software. I gave it to my God-daughter for high school and even she was complaining how slow it is. She now use it like a net-book after removing most if not all the software from it. Lenovo you disappoint in a major way. Save your money and buy a higher model if you like the brand. And the prices remains the same...isn't that a bummer

I am coming from using a high end Dell M6400 that I bought for work several years ago. My work involves some photo editing, a fair bit of multi-tasking across programs, and a lot of word processing. I love how light the Thinkpad is, I love how long the battery lasts and I love that I can leave the expensive M6400 at home, where it will hopefully enjoy a longer lifespan.

Despite these virtues, the new company supplied 0579a62 has me grinding my teeth. I feel like I'm working on the 486 I used back in college. Windows 7's background processes consume 70% of the computer's 2GB of RAM. It is hard to imagine anyone being satisfied with the performance of this laptop. The Windows 7 experience meter ranks this machine at 3.6 out of 7.9.

I've looked around Lenovo's site for information on upgrading memory, but the site seems to lack the resources I'm accustomed to. While searching with the model & serial numbers in the support area does produce a list of computer specs, there are no how to buy tools and part numbers are ambiguous. If I were shopping for a laptop, I would steer away from this computer, and indeed any computer that doesn't come stock with more under the hood. It is simply not worth the frustration that comes with waiting on this thing to catch up with itself.

TECH GEEK AND VALUE-HOLIC'S REVIEW

I must admit that I spend half of my salary on latest gadgets though I do make sure that I don't overpay for anything (meaning I never waste money on overpriced products from a fruit named company and the likes).

When I saw this laptop at 550 dollars at amazon, I knew i just had to buy it because the valueholic living inside me would never forgive me

I am quite happy that I did pull the trigger (till now...I will keep on updating this article). This is an extremely high end looking and feeling laptop made of magnesium alloy and for this money you won't find a core i5 laptop, let alone one which is as light as this one (3.8 pounds), has a slot loading optical drive, made of magnesium alloy and carries an expensive brand name (sony) instead of acer or asus.

However keeping aside what a great value this laptop is, here is what I think of this laptop during my two week's acquaintance with the product.

PRO'S

Excellent (I mean EXCELLENT) Keyboard and Touch Pad.

Very Fashionable (everyone thinks i bought if for at least a 1000 dollars)

Scratch Resistant Magnesium alloy Casing.

Quite Fast with Core I5.

Windows 8 is what Windows Vista should have been, an OS for the 21st century (see below as well)

CON'S

Windows 8 (can be daunting at first for technically challenged people)

The Screen has quite bad Viewing Angles (and i mean QUITE bad). Come on Sony i know this is a cheap laptop but my 5 year old hp netbook has better viewing angle than this one.

Sony product have proven unreliable for me in last 2 years. Let's see how this one holds out.

______________________________________________________________

UPDATE 1:

1. I updated the touchpad software (synaptics) and upon restart the touchpad reverted to default windows drivers. I had to manually go to website and download and install the synaptic touchpad driver.

______________________________________________________________

UPDATE 2:

1. The pc hanged and upon restart a message appeared "No Operating System installed". I went to bios and saw that internal hard drive is not detected. Thinking that the connection may have become loose i gave laptop a slight shake and Eureka the laptop started working.

______________________________________________________________

UPDATE 3:

I absolutely adore the keyboard of this machine. Very Very comfortable to type on.

______________________________________________________________

UPDATE 4:

The screen viewing angles have really started to annoy me. Come on Sony i know this is a cheap laptop but my 5 year old hp netbook has better viewing angle than this one.

______________________________________________________________

Update 5:

I have gotten use to the screen bad viewing angles. The colours on the screen are quite good actually. The laptop did show "No operating system found" a couple of times after the incident, but for last two weeks it is working like a charm.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Update 6: (After Three Months)

Three months on, I have changed the review to 5 stars from four. That rarely happens with me as i grow tired of tech products but this laptop absolutely deserves it. The reason for change are:

1. Amazing battery life,

2. Very light and user friendly weight and dimensions

3. Very good speakers

4. Very reliable, after initial hiccups not a single problem

5. Absolutely excellent keyboard

6. And above all, three months of rough use and not a single scratch on magnesium body

An absolute must buy for its price specially if you want an optical drive.

I'm in love with Windows 8 and this laptop! I would not be feeling the same if it weren't for my son's help. Everything went smoothly during setup, except I was having a frustrating time getting connected to the internet. Internet showed I was connected, all looked perfect, just could not get a good connection. I was feeling like I had the slowest laptop ever made, my Sony Vaio netbook was faster! I was not very happy. Disappointed, I even had another model laptop picked out after reading the reviews here.

Thankfully my son, who's been singing the praises of Windows 8 since his beta version, informed me that I probably needed my drivers updated. He told me to use my other laptop to access Sony's website to get to the software/drivers needed for this model. I simply downloaded the update for the Wireless LAN, moved the file to a usb flash drive so I could install it on this laptop. After the update was installed, I restarted just to be sure everything was set, and like magic I had speedy internet service.

My husband and daughter have different models of the S Series, only with Windows 7. I knew what to expect concerning the larger mouse pad, as it takes some getting used to, and can get in the way a little while typing. I like the lighted keyboard, and how thin this laptop is. I also chose this model because I'm not ready to give up my CD/DVD drive yet. This laptop has everything I wanted, except I plan to add more memory. I think it is at a reasonable price too.

Anyway, everything is working great. Now I have only to learn my way around Windows 8.

Wanted to add: Don't make the mistake I did an order 2x8 GB memory kit. My fault that I didn't notice that the 4 GB was fixed. I should have ordered just the one 8 GB of notebook memory to get the maximum 12 GB.

I disagree with other buyers who have said it is a bad product. Not true! I'm testing it and I can say that all the specifications are correct. It's a fast laptop, very convenient to work, as far as appearance is great, nothing to envy to other similar, but has a superior finish to many! It is elegant, has very good resolution, pleasant to the touch, probably with more RAM will be perfect. I will buy more, remember that you can add up to 12GB. I love this laptop! I recommend it!

Honest reviews on Sony VAIO S Series SVS1312ACXP 13.3-Inch Laptop (Pink)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a very small, 13 inch screen computer and very thin when you look at the side. I plugged it in and started the setup. I did a basic personalization since I am not that computer savvy. I basically selected whatever was quick and got me out of that mess fast.

I tried to connect to my wireless internet but had to hunt a little to find where I enter the password to access the internet. But I didn't have any connection issues. I did have to download about 12 automatic updates and 2 manual updates. This did take a while because the computer kept going into a sleep mode and I have to keep waking it up to keep downloading.

I admit that I will have to get a separate mouse to use because I was having a heck of a time trying to work the mouse pad. During downloading updates, you constantly have to select your country. This meant that I had to click and drag to the United States all the time. That was a pain but I slowly get the idea for what needed to be done.

This does have Windows 8 on it. There are a bunch of pins to the computer so you can just jump to one place or another. I have never worked with that before so I admit that I was very confused. I got the basics of it but I have to say that I would rather stick with Windows 7, at least I can understand that.

Finally, I just surf the internet or such. I don't do gaming or watching videos so I don't know how this performed in those areas. But I will say that it seemed to take a little bit to load some of the pages that I was browsing. Not horrible slow but more of a nuisance. Also, because the computer is smaller, there is no keypad off the side of the keyboard. I can't seem to find the keys that I need so it will take a while for me to get used to that.

Beyond that, this is a nice little computer. You are spending $700 (as of 3/18/13). I think that if you have all ready been using Windows 8 you will get along with it easier than I have. There are some minor irritations but once I use it more I think this will be a good little computer. I wouldn't want to get rid of my Toshiba but as a back up computer, I would have one of these.

I love this laptop. It's awesome. I had only one problem with it when I originally bought it and that was the battery life. It only lasted for 40 mins. I eventually bought an extended battery and everything was fine. A year later, I'm starting to notice that this laptop has backlight issues. The screen will go completely dark in the middle of usage or during startup. I paid over a thousand dollars for the laptop as well as virus protection and warranty. The warranty doesn't really help now that Circuit City is defunct. I used to rant ans rave about how awesome HP is, but after this one bights the dust I'm probably going to invest in Dell although I'm not too fond of their products either.
