MUCH better than other reviews claim
By S.
Siemonsma
First off, this is the best value of a netbook you'll find.
The AMD Fusion e-350 is definitely the best CPU/GPU combo you'll find in a
netbook, especially at this price. The e-350 is a dual-core 64-bit CPU that runs
at 1.6 GHz (it's 60% faster than the AMD c-50 you find in the top-selling Acer
netbook). This is the usual frequency of the Atom processors, but the e-350's
clocks are more efficient, making it more equivalent to an low-voltage Core 2
Duo. I tested out the CPU/APU by playing a blu-ray image file. It played
perfectly fine, so you definitely won't have problems with any 1080p video or
light gaming. It runs pretty cool and the exhaust is in a nice position on the
left side.
The 12.1 inch screen is 1366x768, perfect for 720p video. It's
nice and bright with a glossy finish in a great size. There's a USB 3.0 port on
the right, which is a really nice feature. I haven't used it yet since I don't
have a USB 3.0 hard drive, but it should easily double the speed of a compatible
external hard drive when compared to USB 2.0.
This computer comes with
Windows 7 Premium 64-bit with 2GB of RAM to handle it nicely. I usually run
around 900MB of occupied RAM, so 2GB should be plenty for most users. However, I
am upgrading to 4GB of 1333MHz RAM soon (this comes with 1066MHz RAM). With the
starting configuration my system obtained the following Windows 7 User
Experience Index scores: Processor=3.8, Memory=4.8, Graphics=4.2, Gaming
graphics=5.7, HDD=5.6.
I love the design of the silver version of the
1215b. It has a brushed metal design (but really plastic) lid and touchpad. This
finish is much better than the black version in terms picking up fingerprints.
It does pick up fingerprints, but they're only slightly visible. The keyboard is
a full-size chiclet keyboard (not 92% size like the 10" netbook), has good key
travel, and no detectable flex. The touchpad is quite large, equivalent to most
full-size laptops. The multitouch features work great. The bottom is a nice
textured black plastic. This type of finish would have probably been better for
the lid of the black version since it doesn't pick up
fingerprints.
Overall, performance is great, especially for a
netbook-sized computer. I can get about 6 hours of use from the 6-cell battery
with light internet browsing.
Cons:
-The finish on the black version
is a fingerprint magnet.
-The glossy finish on the inside of the lid is and
around the keyboard picks up fingerprints.
-Some people may not like the
smaller-than-normal right shift key. Personally, it does not bother me.
-The
320GB hard drive runs at 5400 rpm, but I'd obviously prefer a 7200 rpm drive.
The HDD works fine, but the extra speed would be nice. Personally, I don't care
about this much since I plan on upgrading to a 64GB SDD for around $100.
-This only has a 100 Mbps ethernet port; I'd really expect a gigabit port in
2011. However, I'll just be using Wireless N, so it's not a big deal for me.
-The speakers are pretty weak, but that's to be expected for a netbook-sized
computer.
-***Some people have reported trackpad issues with this model. I
have yet to have any of these problems, but I know there is a fix available.
Just google "Asus 1215b trackpad fix" and you should find a
solution.
Overall, this is an EXCELLENT value and the highest-end
performance you can possibly find in a netbook. I got mine for around $300 after
Circuit City dropped their price by about $50. That's about $130 off its usual
price. Feel welcome to make a comment on this review if you have questions.

Great little laptop!
By Julie Mifsud
This is my second ASUS laptop. My first ASUS laptop was a Linux netbook. I
still have it and use it when I'm travelling. Now I have this ASUS Windows 7
laptop and love it too! It boots up fast and has a nice keyboard layout. The
only thing I would improve upon is the mouse "keys." The single metal "key' at
the bottom of the touchpad doesn't seem to stay clean. Oils from my fingers
leave lots of finger prints. That's th eonly downsize I've sound so far. The
video camera is great for Skyping and the microphone works well too. Nice little
laptop.

Overall a Great Netbook... May Have Touch-Pad Issues.
By Andrew
I shopped for 2 years for a netbook and finally
decided on this one. I replaced the hard drive with a 64GB solid state drive.
After about a week, the touch-pad stopped working. I determined the issue was
hardware related. According to a quick Google search, this model is prone to
touch-pad issues. I opened up the unit and used tape to keep the touch-pad out
of contact with other metal inside the unit. I have had no trouble with the
touch-pad since.
I thoroughly enjoy this netbook and would recommend it
to anyone. With the upgraded hard drive it is very speedy. It suits my needs for
web browsing, programming, and light gaming. Just be prepared for possible
touch-pad issues.
