If you are a heavy multitasker, you might become frustrated with this netbook.
The 1001PXD is part of Asus' line of "seashell" netbooks. It seems Asus has a knack for making netbooks. According to the Asus website, the frame and form factor of these netbooks were inspired by seashells. The Asus Eee PC 1001PXD is evidence of that knack. While the 1001PXD certainly looks nice, there isn't a lot of power under the hood. The 1001PXD is a stylish netbook that delivers the extended battery life expected of netbooks, but just barely squeaks by with the hardware specifications.
Design
This netbook, unfortunately, does not follow that trend and retains the old netbook standard of 1024 x 600 pixels.
Is it worth the trade-off?If you aren't used to small keyboards, the 1001PXD will certainly take some getting used to.This enables the netbook to continue running longer.
The 1001PXD has a keyboard that is 95 percent of the size of standard keyboards. Lower resolution means less power consumption. The trend in netbooks is to push the pixel count up to 1366 x 768, into the high-definition range. Lower resolutions don't look as nice, but there is something to be said for them. That's entirely up to you. Some people feel like their hands are cramped even on full-sized keyboards. Small keyboards can quickly become problematic if you have hands that are any bigger than a chipmunk's. Jesting aside, small keyboards do tend to feel cramped and can cause you to commit a fair amount of typos through simply hitting two or three keys at once.
User Interface Features
This is not really much of a concern for most netbook users. The important differences between them pertain to what your hardware and software is capable of.Windows 7 Starter limits your computer to 2GB of RAM. Windows 7 Starter also disables access to any of the Aero features in Windows This means that nifty features like the see-through borders on windows are disabled. The 1001PXD ships with the Windows 7 Starter.
If you're wondering what the difference is between the Starter and Home versions of Windows 7, you're probably not alone.
Memory/Battery Life
Windows 7 requires a minimum of 1GB of RAM.This means that most, if not all, of the 1001PXD's RAM will be allocated to running Windows The Intel Atom 455 processor can help alleviate the stress on the RAM, but they do two different jobs. With only 1GB of RAM, the 1001PXD can feel bogged down if you try to do too many things. While a 66 GHz processor is enough to run applications one at a time, or maybe two at a time, real multitasking might bog the netbook down.
Summary
The 1001PXD is a pretty netbook that simply can't deliver satisfactory performance.
You won't have to worry about plugging in to do your homework. With nine hours of battery life, the 1001PXD is very portable. However, you may become frustrated with the hardware limitations of the Asus Eee PC 1001PXD.
