ASUS Eee PC 1018P-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Netbook (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Upgraded from the ASUS 1000HE. The 1018P is half the size. Love the size and weight. Getting about 7 to 8 hours of battery life (states 10). Immediately noticed and was disappointed it has a gloss screen. My older 1000HE was matte. Love the matte, hate the gloss. Everything is reflective with the 1018P gloss scree, especially ceiling lights at the office. The Synaptics branded touchpad is absolutely horrible! My mouse is all over the place, and has a mind of it's own. This alone kills the whole experience and fun of the 1018P. I end up getting frustrated with it, and go back to my 1000HE. Love the USB 3.0 & USB port charging (charge cell phone) without the PC being on. The new Atom N455 processor rocks, or is a lot better then the 1000HE's N280. Videos play a lot better, flash site load and run better, etc. Have had it for a few days, and still playing around. I just wanted to at least confirm I too (along with the others - google it) am having problems with the Synaptics touchpad. Not sure if Synaptics just made a bad touchpad or if they are bad drivers. You can make the sexiest product in the world, but worthless if it is frustrating to use. It would be interesting to see other 1018- user experiences.
