I don't remember what virus software came with the netbook but maybe the printer would be better if you used firefox instead of explorer for the Internet?

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

I didn't get that message. If I were you I would go ahead and do it. You can always reinstall it. If anything gets messed up just call Lenovo support. They are quite good.

I have the ASUS Eee PC 1005PEB-RBLU01S - I am also interested in upgrading the RAM - am interested in any all information - the good, the bad, the ugly....

Yes. The memory is partitioned weird and there is only 788 mb for apps. Matricom is working on a "fix". Check the forums at matricom.net There was an update released recently but there are problems with it at the moment.

FWIW, at a Best Buy in another city, their ASUS notebooks had two finger scrolling working properly and the icons showing in the tray area. Must be something in the setup wrong at the store near me. I finally opted for the Gateway EC5801u which is also a thin, light, longlife model like these ASUS machines. It uses a Synaptic touchpad with a spiral scrolling gesture that I've quickly come to like. Swirl your finger round and round in a circle and it scrolls like controlling an ipod.

I am also looking for the memory upgrade. If someone who has done this could post details, I would be eternally grateful! Not a member of the geek sqad so I am not sure how to go about it - is there a specific type to buy and how do you instal it?

so its not expandable? that sucks. I might call MSi just to double check, because i think thats an important factor in which one I choose....is it a big deal to you? did you notice they also had it listed in one spot as 160gb, and in another it said 120gb. I emailed them to see which for sure(though obviously everywhere else it says 160gb)...don't know why that happens.

AN UPDATE: Dell must have listened to the complaints. I bought my Dell i3147 Feb 18, 2015 from Amazon and it arrived with no bloatware. Firstly, there was no McAfee AV installed. All that was there was a trial version of Office 365, which comes standard on all Win 8.1 machine courtesy of Microsoft. It was a snap to uninstall as I already have Office 2007. And there were a few Dell utilities like the auto-update, etc. Some were useful, some not. The ones I didn't want were easy to remove.In all, there were about 10 programs that came installed on my Dell 3147. Not a big deal and most were useful.But no real bloatware, to answer the OP.

I purchased mine around the same time, and had no problems. It's difficult to advise you here though (because of so little info about your problem and no back and forth). I suggest checking Asus' support site. While it's hard to navigate, it does have lots of info, including (I believe) teardown docs for replacing the hard drive and memory.

I think this is the laptop for me. I really liked the Asus EEE. Just need something with more computing power. This or the 13.3" one? Tough choice.

I actually went ahead and got this laptop and have been playing it on StarCraft 2, so idk about B. Chans issue as my Asus X1 has been running StarCraft 2 just fine.As others said though, my real only complaint with this laptop so far is the amount of crap I had to uninstall when I first got it, so much bloatware.

Hello, I just finished buying an ASUS 1000HE (literally within the past hour or so), but while I wait for it to get shipped, I was wondering if I should also opt for the memory upgrade. Seems, cheap and effortless to install, I'm just curious, have you noticed a significant difference in performance? Thanks.

Okay, when I look at the System properties, it still says 1 GB. I tried hitting the F2 key while the computer was booting up but nothing happened. How can I get my Eee1000he to recognize the new 2 GB memory card?

.if putting in 2GB module in eee pc 1000 you need to restart computer after installing the RAM and keep pressing F2. then press F10 to accept the settings in the BIOS. now your eee pc will recognize the 2 GB module yeah,.. plug and play... right
