(This after disabling Boot Booster which hides the BIOS screen). First thing which comes up is the ExpressGate screen, then (if choosing Windows) one briefly sees the BIOS screen (press F2 for setup, Tab for POST infos), then it loads Windows. The ASUS has a strange booting procedure. My intention was to install a dual boot to have Windows XP or W2k as well as W7. While we prefer the improved usability and battery life of the Acer and Packard Bell, there's no denying this is one of the best you can buy.I have a ASUS eee PC1011PX, which has the ExpressGate (Android version OS) and W7 basics. Finally, proprietary ExpressGate software is also installed.Īsus has delivered yet another fantastic machine with the Eee PC Seashell 1015PE. The Asus' camera is unique, however, as it includes a sliding shutter to cover the camera when not in use for greater privacy. As well as a capacious 250GB hard drive, Asus also includes 500GB of online storage, letting you safely back up your data via the internet wherever you go.Īs with most other netbooks, a webcam is fitted above the screen. Where this machine stands out from the crowd is in the extra features it provides. With that said, the Asus ran ever so slightly faster than most other netbooks at this price point, although the difference will be negligible in daily use. Powered by the same components as most of its rivals, performance is basic at best and only suitable for home office use. While many matt TFT screens can tend to reduce image vibrancy, we saw no such flaw here. Reflections are entirely eliminated, making it easy to work outdoors. The single brushed-aluminium mouse button adds to the style of the device and is equally comfortable to use.Īsus has utilised a matt TFT screen rather than a glossy Super-TFT panel. Perfectly mirroring the wide aspect ratio of the 10.1-inch screen, the wide pad makes it easy to manoeuvre onscreen. As with the Acer, a large touchpad is also in place. While the keys are smaller than those of the Acer Aspire One D260, the spacious design and firmly fixed board ensure comfortable typing. Asus was one of the first to use an isolation-style (or 'Chiclet') keyboard on a netbook and the feature is well implemented here.
