Good: Light, fast, great battery
Bad: A bit slow
Comment: I actually love this machine - and use it as my main home PC. Windows was a bit rubbish so I put Linux Mint 13 on it and it works very well indeed.

Good: Long battery life, Instant-On
Bad: No USB3.0 as advertised, Charge+ doesn't work at all, Bloatware sucks.
Comment: No USB 3.0 AS ADVERTISED:

No Charge+ feature (charge while Netbook is powered down) AS ADVERTISED (see above ASUS webpage) All you get is an error message as hundreds of ASUS users can attest with no fix from ASUS. We got a 'bait and switch". VERY disappointed.

"there's no USB 3.0, but you'd be mad to expect it"
I would definitely expect it and I am definitely not mad. We are half way through 2012 and at least one other current netbook does have a USB3 port. This should have too.
Disappointing not to mention whether the 1GB RAM can be easily replaced with 2GB - an important option.
