To see side by side comparisons and objective reviews of other products in this category, check out our netbooks review site.

Netbooks tend to be about the same size and have more or less the same look.The price for a computer this competent is a bargain. Asus practically invented the category of netbook computers; nonetheless, others have followed so closely that it can now be difficult to tell one from another. The 1015PX, however, is one of the first to be released with the Intel Atom N570 processor, which is a notable step up from previous Atoms. The Asus Eee PC 1015PX is a powerful netbook that pays homage to Asus's rich history in netbooks.

Even prices don't vary dramatically, especially with the advent of the cell phone providers subsidizing prices for many basic models.

Design

As with any netbook, extreme portability is a major factor and at 1 inches wide, we're talking about something that is small. We found that the touchpad took a little bit of getting used to but it does feature multi-touch technology so functions like zooming in or out or rotating an image can be accomplished with gestures that have become familiar on well-known cell phones. Best advantage has been taken of the relatively limited keyboard real estate by utilizing tiny function keys, squashed up and down arrows and multi-function keys for numbers and some letters. The computer includes an integrated webcam and digital microphone to support video conferencing and video phone calls. For better audio there's also a standard 5mm headphone jack and stereo Bluetooth. That notwithstanding, the Asus Eee PC 1015PX really is a terrific, tiny computer. The 1024 x 600 pixel screen resolution is certainly adequate but could be crisper. Even with its diminutive size, the 1 inch display screen will suit most users and the keyboard, while small by desktop or full-sized laptop standards is still quite usable for most purposes. Unlike many other such devices, it sports a pair of stereo speakers which, though they certainly won't rock the house, are far better than expected. While all of those attributes are worthwhile, it sure seems like a waste of a potentially great acronym.The device supports high speed wireless networking with Wi-Fi b/g/n running on the 4GHz frequencies.

For the longest time, we were convinced that the Eee designation just had to stand for something significant some combination of electric, electronic, eclectic, esoteric, electromagnetic it really didn't matter what, it just seemed like it had to mean something worthy of the capable little computer.

Alas, we had to swallow our disappointment when we learned that the moniker came purely from the marketing guys and apparently is merely a combination of Easy to Learn, Easy to Work and Easy to Play.

User Interface Features

The computer comes standard with a generally adequate 1GB of RAM and 250GB of hard drive space. The most critical workings of the Asus Eee PC 1015PX are centered around the improved power that's provided by the 66 GHz Intel Atom N570 processor.

Memory/Battery Life

Additionally, Asus offers a unique hybrid storage system with their WebStorage feature. Storage is provided by a 250GB hard drive, which is the netbook standard. It's a 6-cell Lithium Ion unit that the manufacturer rates at a pretty impressive 11 hours.The battery for this little powerhouse is a real standout.

The engine allows the user to select a faster processor speed for greater performance or to prolong battery life by conserving speed. The efficiency of the Intel N570 processor combined with the Asus Super Hybrid Engine is a major contributing factor to the standout battery life.

It provides 500GB of online data storage at no cost for the first year.

Summary

In the world of netbook computing, there is often not much separating one device from another. Such is not the case with the Asus Eee PC 1015PX, which distinguishes itself in a number of ways.

The exceptional battery is likely the single best reason to choose this netbook but all in all it offers a good deal.
