AJB, you are correct that they are not the same, they are indeed quite different. You hit on almost all of the differences, here are the other two:- the 1005PE-MU17 has 802.11 b/g/n whereas the 1001P-PU17 has 802.11 b/g- the 1001P-PU17 has Bluetooth and the 1005PE-MU17 does not

What would I need bluetooth for? I just ordered the PE and I hope I ordered the right model! there are so many!

The primary differences between these two models is 1) the PU17 has a better battery (rated up to 13 hours instead of 10 hours with the MU17) 2) the PU17 has Bluetooth 3.0 and the MU 17 has no Bluetooth 3) the PU17 comes in black, blue, red, and white while the MU17 only comes in black, blue, and white You can compare the differences between the ASUS Eee PC product lines at this link: http://commercial.asus.com/category/overview/17

Like a lot of people, I ordered this laptop on the Lightning Deal. The attraction was the great price break plus Blu-Ray. The next day I saw that they had removed the Blu-Ray in the product description. When the Samsung was delivered, I immediately returned it (unopened) to Amazon. I then decided to buy an Asus N61 model which has similar features, but is priced slightly more. Reason? Asus has received (PC Magazine 2010 customer survey) excellent reliability and customer service ratings, comparable to Apple. Because Blu-Ray is still desirable, I ordered the Asus slim-line external Blu-Ray player. It works great!!! Like a lot of people, I ordered this laptop on the Lightning Deal.

The N110 I guess is the new generation overlapping the NC10 SE...I cant believe Samsung did this so soon, it hasnt been a month since they NCSE 10 has started shipping to people. That graphic card memory difference could have been nice for the same price. I still have no idea if the matte screen is better or the glossy screen that is claimed to be on the N110

Bird's Word: I've tested 2 of the 4 front runners (Acer & OSI) and the biggest differences I've noticed between the 3 (I know nothing about Lenovo's product) are Price, Monitor, Warranty, Touchpad & Upgradability (in order of personal import). Winner Acer - Best Display (Reflective TFT), Warranty (2 Year US / 1 Year International - I've NEVER seen this before! - Buy with Amex and get 1 additional year) and Touchpad Management Features Honorable 2nd ASUS - Best Price for Retail Value & Only Unit w/ Upgradable RAM Distant 3rd OSI - Best Screen Size (Non-Reflective TFT) I could say alot more but I think everyone needs to do their own reasearch and bargain hunting to ensure you find the best unit/deal for your personal need(s). Happy Hunting! J. Bird, CEO, BIG Ideas

Since you have a fundamental question, I think you will likely want to stick with your Netbook: it's cheap and it has exactly what you already have. Sure, it may not be powerful or particularly capable, but if it gets the job done, you're all set.If you really love those classic PC products, no tablet from any manufacturer is going to give you the same classic experience with a Tablet - as Tablets are fundamentally different than a PC. A tablet is a fundamentally different computing platform, and even Microsoft's own tablets are simply "different", which will lead to compatibility issues. You want a Windows XP machine running Office 2003 - or something very similar.

The US and CA models of the 1005pe mu17 only come with the white asus that has the black lcd frame. The models you see on youtube were from countries other than the United States and Canada, and their model contains the white lcd screen. I bought the white asus 1005pe myself and I own the black lcd screen. To be honest, /i like this design. it's a great contrast to the glossy white and the outside is all white just like the models you saw in youtube.

Sounds like you've already gotten the right answer and have ordered this model. Just to reassure you, I have had this Zenbook for about 6 months (I am a diligent review reader before making a purchase) and have been extremely happy with it. It is very light, sleek, and quick. The battery is respectable and I appreciate that it stays cooler than any laptop I've ever had, which makes laptop use possible without the need for leg protection. I, too, wanted to stick with Win7. I think you will like it.

I believe it was the exact same model and therefore specs because the model number is an exact match. That is how I found this Amazon page. I plugged the model number into Google. I wanted to see what others thought about this netbook as we bought it after only a few minutes of shopping. This isn't my normal style but we bought it for our son-in-law who flew out tonight and we wanted him to have a computer.

Hello guys. I am in the same boat . Torn between NC10 Special Edition and upcoming NC110. So I went to Samsung website. Difference is NC110 has glossy screen, HD audio according to the site . Everything else is same inc. ability to upgrade ram to 2gb and battery life. Hope this helps a little bit.

The U100 is upgradeable to 2gig memory and has more wireless capability, incl bluetooth. I want the memory for photo editing. After I purchased this little puppy, I dumped my new entertainment pc and desktop. I found that I just kept reaching for the U100. I had evaluated the Asus HE and the Samsung. Both weighed more, and the Samsung cost a lot more. I am quad booting this with XP, OSX, Linux, and Windows 7 so that I can test my web site on several platforms. What a solid, well-designed little machine! The keyboard and speaker issues are minor compared to the tremendous value and flexibility of this laptop, and are easily dealt with.

I did my homework and these were the two I came down to as well. Honestly, I think you'll be pleased with either. I haven't had the Asus in hand; I went with the Toshiba, as that's where my heart kept going back to. They're very close, feature/spec-wise. (I trust you're not expecting 720p+ video, because that does not play well on most netbooks.) Asus should have longer battery life, and it has built-in bluetooth. (Bluetooth USB adapter runs $20-25 otherwise.) The Toshiba is downright beautiful, and its texture won't pick up fingerprints. I don't know what the Asus screen is like; the Toshiba screen is excellent. I can vouch for Toshiba's multi-taskability, though I don't doubt Asus' capability at the same. I really think they'll both be loveable; what does your heart say?

Thanks ASUS, your input is always appreciated. I saw the official specs for the UL30vt and I am excited and my CC is equally excited. It is ready whenever Amazon posts the preorder product page.For others here it is http://gdgt.com/asus/ul30vt/specs/

For those of you interested in the successor model, the Acer Aspire One AO756 with Celeron processor has the same slide-forward, easy-off bottom panel for acces to RAM and hard drive for easy RAM upgrade and HD to SSD conversion. I just purchased the 2gb RAM, 320FB HD edition for $279 from Best Buy and added a second 2gb RAM module - lo and behold I discovered the mobo has 2 RAM slots! Didn't try going beyond 4 Gb though
