What Reviews say about 'Asus 1005PE' ?



Asus' different preset power profiles are accessible by hitting the FN key plus the space bar.

Asus Eee PC 1005HA (Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, XP Home, blue):CNet

The bottom line: Asus hits nearly all the marks in the 1005HA, the latest version of its iconic Eee PC, highlighted by a 6-hour-plus battery life.

to flex and the keyboard is very firm ... two things you usually don't see on budget notebooks.

ASUS Eee PC 1005HA Review:NotebookReview

Keyboard and Touchpad The keyboard on the 1005PE is comfortable to type on and very responsive. The glossy screen looks identical to what we saw in the 1008HA: it offers good color and contrast, but glare and reflections indoors under strong lights or outdoors under direct sunlight can be a problem. The built-in speaker performance on the Eee PC 1005PE is pretty good for a 10-inch netbook. *

refined keyboard

Asus EEE PC 1000 XP Laptop Review - PC World:PCWorld

It's funny, really: Many makers of high-end notebooks don't even bother--simply tossing a PDF in the box--and yet this well-laid-out book covers all the bases. The other big features in play here come in the form of the power toggle mode (accessible through holding the function button and tapping the space bar) and a software suite that sits on your desktop. Great keyboard and mouse. The buttons are firm and large enough to type on easily. *

average power consumption

Horizontal viewing angles were good, but to get the best picture you need to tilt the screen back about 30 degrees. *

solid state drive (SSD)

Latest Reviews:NOTEBOOKCHECK

The memory bank is easily accessible via a cover on the bottom. The built-in display hinges look well-crafted at a first glance. It is difficult to use high resolutions. >> To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List . 1.27 kg : This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. *

poor motion performance

:Computershopper.com

Its battery life is excellent, though, and its price is competitive for what it is. The key plunge is excellent, though, and typing barely makes a sound. *

What Reviews say about 'Asus 1201N' ?



Build quality is very good with the 1201N feeling solid and showing almost no signs of flex.

ASUS Eee PC 1201N Review:NotebookReview

Build quality is very good with the 1201N feeling solid and showing almost no signs of flex. The keyboard itself feels very strong and doesn't flex even under strong pressure. Protection from the screen cover is very good; not showing any distortions on the display with pressure to the back of the cover. Screen and Speakers The 12.1" screen on the Eee PC 1201N is great for browsing the web, editing photos, or even watching HD movies. *

best performance we’ve

ASUS Eee PC 1201N:Laptopmag

Heat The ASUS 1201N stayed cool throughout our testing. The small, but accurate touchpad sits flush with the palm rest. *

good graphics

While 5 hours is pretty good for a standard notebook, I’ve come to expect more from a netbook. *

excellent keyboard and touch pad

HP Mini 210 HD:CNet

The bottom line: The versatile HP Mini 210 adds best-of features from other HP laptops, but the HD video card requires a still-in-beta Flash update for streaming Flash video.

comfortable keyboard

The Bottom Line

slow performance

HP Mini 210 Review - Laptop & Notebook computers:CNet.com

HP's Mini 210 combines style and battery life in a combination that makes it genuinely compelling.

The three-pound system not only feels solid, but its inch-thin body is quite slender.

HP Mini 210 HD edition review:engadget

The three-pound system not only feels solid, but its inch-thin body is quite slender. Though its ClickPad is frustrating, as a basic netbook it's a decent option given its attractive design, comfortable keyboard and seven hours of battery life. *

decent Intel Atom N450 processor

Amazing battery life.

Gateway LT2118u Laptop Computer Review - PCWorld:PCWorld

An easily upgradable netbook with exceptional style and battery life.

the system was able to run just over seven hours before going into standby mode.

Gateway LT2119u 10.1-inch Netbook PC:About.com

Feb 20 2010 - Gateway's LT2119u is a close cousin to the Acer Aspire One 532h netbook which is no big surprise. These means they share much of the same design and features. Battery life is above average but not class leading and the keyboard has both good and design aspects. It does use a larger hard drive and comes in a different color scheme but the Acer model can be found for less making the choice of the Gateway LT2119u more for looks than features.

light, powerful and portable laptop computer

Gateway 10.1" 250GB Netbook Review, Model: LT2104U:ASSOCIATED CONTENT

good touchpad

She has a Gateway laptop that is now 5 years old (bought 2.20.05) and works perfect. The Gateway LT2108u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook is ideal for those on the move who need a quick, easy way to connect to the Internet and stay in touch with family and friends. The new Gateway LT2118u is ideal for those on the move who need a quick, easy way to connect to the Internet and stay in touch with family and friends. The battery works great too. *

What Reviews say about 'HP 5310m' ?



The keyboard is extremely comfortable to use with good response and no flex while typing.

HP ProBook 5310m (Intel Celeron SU2300 1.2GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Windows 7 Professional):CNet

Their compact form factor is crucial for people who need to have their PC with them all the time, especially frequent business travelers. The keyboard is extremely comfortable to use with good response and no flex while typing. The screen gets adequately bright for working outdoors, text and graphics are sharply rendered, and color is very good. *

"stylish" business notebook

HP ProBook 5310m Review:NotebookReview

Overall the keyboard layout is extremely nice for a budget 13-inch laptop. The touchpad is very responsive to my touch with a scroll zone on the right side that works exactly as it should. The highest volume settings are loud enough to fill an office with sound for a presentation, but the audio sounds distorted at the highest volumes. *

good performance

:Computershopper.com

The QuickWeb and QuickLook features are ideal if you often steal a few minutes here and there to check e-mail and the Web, and the compact body and good battery life make it an ideal travel companion. The machine is nice and light, but I was surprised when I tested the battery and found out that it run for only three hours with all the wireless communications and blue tooth switched off and no applications are running. The machine's LED-backlit 13.3-inch screen looks terrific, with plenty of... *

beautiful laptop

HP ProBook 5310m:CNet.com

If you are after a tiny laptop and are certain you won't ever be playing any graphically intensive games on it, you'd be hard pressed to find a better machine than HP's 5310m.
