Excellent netbook. Meets all expectations!
By B. Hayashi
Much has been said in many great reviews on this product so I will try to limit my remarks to my own experiences that may differ from the others.

I'll just say that I love this computer! Small, lightweight, fast, looks great, does the job.

I am running Microsoft Office Pro 2010 without a glitch. Works great.

I am also running Firefox 3.6. Fast. Streams video with only an occasional hiccup, but I even get that with my main computer at home. Otherwise, video streaming is smooth. Same with streaming Netflix movies.

Was going to upgrade the memory to 2GB, but because 1) Amazon's suggested memory upgrade was the wrong one (I returned it) and 2) because the netbook is already very speedy, I don't need it.

This thing boots up in 26 seconds from hibernate! That's 26 seconds from pressing the button to seeing my desktop and it ready to go.

I use bought this for its Bluetooth and I love using the Microsoft Mobile BT Keyboard. Check it out.

I find the keyboard to be surprisingly good for effective typing, but I do love the MS BT Mobile Keyboard as it is near full-sized, skinny and light. It's great for when that tabletop is a little high and I have this portable keyboard on my lap just tying away.

Screen is wonderful. Construction is good. I really like the white color.

Who needs an iPad? I'm a happy iPod touch 3G owner, but a netbook really beats out an iPad. iPads are cool, but for work and real computing, a good netbook beats it hands down. And it's cheaper, too!

Battery life--amazing! Surfing the net, running Office Pro 2010 32 bit...I'm getting a minimum of 11 hours on this. I may be actually getting in the high 12's!

I'm buying one for my son who is in college. YOU SHOULD GET ONE, TOO!

very bad experience! very slow, and finally it crashed on its 3rd day!
By Xi Lin
I got my white 1015PED last friday. I was so happy since it was a super cute netbook. But the nightmare began at the moment I initiated it.

1. after booting up, I entered my password to entering my account. However it showed a black screen for over 15mins.
at first I was thinking it was common, but after over 15 mins, I lost my patience and restarted it. alright, now, things seemed fine.

2.I downloaded firefox, adobe flash and open office. I was so happy that I can use it now. Then I opened firefox. I waited almost one minute to see the firefox frame coming out (don't mention the contents). I was thinking this just because it is a netbook. can't be so fast.

3. yesterday (Sunday night), I found its default anti-virus software was always updating. So I uninstalled it. after that, everything seemed working well. However this morning, It crashed!!! Asking me to reboot it up!! And I have stored so many pictures in it!!! HOLY!

I am going to return it~

buy.com worst customer service ever
By ivantxu
The computer arrived on time, it was NOT WORKING, I contact them several times, ad they told me ifI don't have the orignal package the cannot do anything about it. I disposed te box, put it in to my luggage and travel to another country, never tested it until my final destination, when I found that it wasn't working, the screen was all black and contact them, they never gave a rabbit leg for it, so I lost 369 USA dollars, buy.com. NEVER AGAIN
