same as 1001p-pu17? Other than the outer finish (glossy vs. texturized), keboard style ("chiclet" vs. standard), and screen (color-shine vs. matte), is this netbook any different than the Asus 1001P-PU17 (available for pre-order but not yet released)?

AJB, you are correct that they are not the same, they are indeed quite different. You hit on almost all of the differences, here are the other two: - the 1005PE-MU17 has 802.11 b/g/n whereas the 1001P-PU17 has 802.11 b/g - the 1001P-PU17 has Bluetooth and the 1005PE-MU17 does not

I'm happy to wait on my pre order, 1080p in a 13.3" chromebook at this price....worth the wait. If you can afford it, the Chromebook pixel has been out.

Well, I ordered this computer mid-february after reading the internet rumours of the scheduled early march release. Yesterday was 11th, today's the 12th... still no word from Asus, and Amazon's customer service hotline has no info to offer. Anyone know when we'll finally get this thing?

I own one. It weighs less than the 1000H. The screen brightness is fine -- I run it at about 50% and that's fine. When spare batteries become available, I may pick one up -- the battery is so small and light that even carrying a spare it will weigh less than the 1000h. The case does not show fingerprints, which to me was a biggie. The touchpad is better -- this is the first computer where I don't feel the need to carry a mouse. It all depends on what is important to you. For me, the lack of fingerprints, the weight difference, and the touchpad made me go for the 1002ha. If you don't mind the extra weight and fingerprints and not-as-good trackpad, if you want the extra battery life, if you really do want a brighter screen, and you want the better speakers, then the 1000h is a better choice.

Any updates on this laptop 'A1' w.r.t to the availability folks? I put myself on the pre ordered and waiting list too but nothings happened for about 5 days..Anyone started receiving them yet?

The U100 is upgradeable to 2gig memory and has more wireless capability, incl bluetooth. I want the memory for photo editing. After I purchased this little puppy, I dumped my new entertainment pc and desktop. I found that I just kept reaching for the U100. I had evaluated the Asus HE and the Samsung. Both weighed more, and the Samsung cost a lot more. I am quad booting this with XP, OSX, Linux, and Windows 7 so that I can test my web site on several platforms. What a solid, well-designed little machine! The keyboard and speaker issues are minor compared to the tremendous value and flexibility of this laptop, and are easily dealt with.

Just rec'd this model Crucial as recommended on Amazon to upgrade new ASUS 1005 PE but now hesitant to with what I'm reading.Spoke with Crucial rep and advised slower than the recommeded CT1166735 they show on their site but should work. Anymore feedback from anyone before I give it a whirl. Thanks R.Moore

The US and CA models of the 1005pe mu17 only come with the white asus that has the black lcd frame. The models you see on youtube were from countries other than the United States and Canada, and their model contains the white lcd screen. I bought the white asus 1005pe myself and I own the black lcd screen. To be honest, /i like this design. it's a great contrast to the glossy white and the outside is all white just like the models you saw in youtube.

Thanks Superhero Jonathan! So helpful. I guess I am watching to see when UL80VT comes back into stock here in the next 24-48 hours if the Asus rep is right.

Out of curiosity, how do you check to see if you actually have a Special Edition? I purchased this from Amazon (from this page), but there's no indication on the box or on the laptop itself that it's a NC10-11PBK. On the box and on the laptop itself, it just says NC10-KL01US. I just want to make sure they didn't ship me the wrong one. (I don't have the original NC10, so I have nothing to compare it to.)

Hmmm...this is so odd. Confirming my earlier post, the Asus is sitting on my lap right now w/ nothing between it and my legs except thin cotton yoga pants -- no problem at all. One would think all versions of this model would be the same, but clearly not. Glad I have a cool one!!! Still loving it after seven plus months, still recommending to anyone who'll listen, still truly awesome battery life.

Thank you for the helpful information. I guess I will see about getting a cheaper netbook. I looked at a lot of reviews for different ones and they all seem about the same. Do you know which one is the best one to buy? I would like one that has a long battery life.

found this link - which says - there is only one screw at the bottom which gives access to RAM. Could you also please post pictures/video while upgrading the RAM is possible.http://www.nerdycomputers.com/laptop/asus-eee-pc-1015ped-pu17-bu-10-1-inch-blue-netbook-up-to-13-hours-of-battery-life/

They have released it. The new description "not in stock" is probably appropriate.I received my Aspire 1810T-8679 today.

I too looked at both of these netbooks and both would serve my purposes. But I think I am going to choose the toshiba mini 205. My biggest reason is the negative reviews on the asus 1005ha concerning the batteries and ac adapters scared me a little. While the complaints with the toshiba appears to be more fixable. Poor sound quality is fixable with the use of headphones since the headphone jack is stereo, not monoaural like the speaker, and trackpad issues can be fixed with the use of a mouse.

I would be so curious and interested to know what your other computers are that do not 'compare' with the Samsung - are they netbooks or ultraportables? If so, what exactly makes the Samsung better? Could you describe the screen, please, in detail? Is it bright, deep color saturation, are the fonts clear and legible and crisp, how is it in the sunlight, that sort of thing. So many reviews say 'great screen', but go into no detail, and I really want to know before I take this plunge. Much appreciate.
