This Laptops give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Small, fast, lightweight. Ubuntu inside.
Amazing notebook for under $250, fast shipping from Amazon. I've had it for a week and it has performed flawlessly for what my wife and I use it for. We wanted a
small notebook that can be easily carried around the house, as well as taking on trips. It's great for web browsing, watching youtube videos(search ubuntu-restricted-extras), typing documents using libreoffice, etc. Battery lasts 4.5-6 hours or so, depending on usage.
It comes with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit, which is supported through April 2017. The initial configuration takes approximately 10 minutes before booting into the OS,
which then required 430 MB of updates. The notebook uses efi boot with gpt partitioning. Here's the partitioning:
1. 100 MB fat32 boot-efi
2. 4 GB fat32 PQServices restore
3. 179 GB ext4 Ubuntu OS
4. 7.5 GB swap
5. 108 GB ntfs data
You can boot from usb flash by pressing the "Esc" key at the Asus screen during boot. According...
2. The Netbook Returns
Asus began the netbook era with a very small computer running Linux. The screen was 7" (800x480), the machine had 512 meg of RAM, plus 4 G of not so fast SSD space. It ran a Celeron CPU. The electronics bled power, the screen was tiny, but it was cheap, under $500 (US), and it ran a customized version of a somewhat out of date distribution called Xandros Linux.
Eventually, manufacturers stopped making netbooks, and by that time Microsoft had crippled the form factor (now with better electronics and a 10" screen) with its own crippled version of Windows, and insisting that they all come with 1 G of RAM. Intel finished the job by making netbooks Linux hostile with their latest 2600 Atom based systems.
Now Asus has returned with a Sandy Bridge based Celeron computer with a 10" screen, running Ubuntu Linux (12.04). Behold the new netbook. It has little that you can upgrade. Still, it comes with 2 G of RAM, and a decent sized hard drive (320 G). The screen, while 10",...

Very good for the money, not quite 5 stars
EDIT: I discovered that with gestures off, the mousepad is not too bad if you move around with one finger, then hold that finger in place while you use a different finger to click. The biggerest problem, as reported by many, happens when you move the cursor with one finger, then lift that same finger to click.
IMPORTANT: This same physical computer is available with either Windows or Linux (Ubuntu) operating system. They are listed as different products in Amazon. You are reading reviews for Ubuntu. The device is the same, but how it works (the software) is very different. The Ubuntu version costs less. I see that many questions are from persons who have come here because this version (with Ubuntu) is cheaper. If you do not understand the difference between Windows and Ubuntu, then pay more and get the Windows version, not this one. If you do understand the difference, this device works well with Linux. If you intend to dual-boot Windows and Linux, be aware that some (not...
