ASUS Meego X101-EU27-BK 10.1-Inch Netbook (Black) Reviews
| 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful:  You get what you pay for., This review is from: ASUS Meego X101-EU27-BK 10.1-Inch Netbook (Black) (Personal Computers) I picked up one of these at a brick and mortar store. I had ecently handled a friend's Macbook Air and was exceedingly jealous of its size and weight. So for 6 times less the cost of a Macbook Air I got exactly what I wanted: A thin netbook that is light as a feather. But to cost 6 times less, some compromises must be made. The disk size is 8 GB, which is big enough to hold your operating system and some documents. It is solid state though and you can upgrade via any mini PCIe SSD. 32GB disks go for about $90 as of this writing. I keep a 16 GB MicoSD card in the MicoSD slot that holds my music and movies. The OS is Meego, which is a Linux system recently abandoned by Intel and Nokia. It has a little app marketplace, but I didn't explore it for more than a few minutes. I uninstalled Meego and replaced it with openSUSE 11.4 which not only runs faster, but gets better battery life. Linux Mint 11 was also tried with great success. The CPU is the Intel Atom N435, which is a budget CPU,...

Meego is a great, user-friendly OS for those who are not familiar with Linux; however, for those who want more, I can confirm that Ubuntu operates smoother than ever on the X101. Both OS' come with pre-installed full versions of office, mail, and entertainment software that are fully compatible with a Windows and Mac machine. I've heard you can run Windows 7 on this netbook as well but why would you want to go and do that? The most amazing feature of the X101 is its size and design. It's roughly the same size and thickness as a Macbook Air with a textured outside that resists smudges and fingerprints. The battery pack is easily replaceable as well as being small and unobstructive. Not everything...

I'm a frequent traveler, and I wanted something that could play videos and surf the Internet. I also wanted it to be *light*- I travel with only one carry-on-sized backpack, so any additional weight goes straight on my back. Given these requirements, the X101 comes through beautifully. It is thinner than many magazines, just wide enough to accommodate the USB port (although a bit bulgier at the battery), and unimaginably light. The (8GB) solid-state hard drive ensures that the OS won't be borked by being jostled around, which is important when you're tossing your bag on and off public transport, or riding re-purposed school buses around Belize and Guatemala (which is what my summer should look like.)I want to make clear that there are a few caveats here. First, the click buttons (really, sections of the touchpad) are loud and take significant force. Get used to tapping the touchpad, and I find it's often easier to use the... Read more |
