This is a review of the ASUS UN42-M019Y desktop mini-computer. FYI, I bought this at Fry's.

Short version:
This is an excellent general use computer, if you don't need lots of storage space.

Long version:
I was a bit hesitant to buy this computer since it has a low-end processor, but it's fine for surfing, playing 1080 videos and streaming music. I was also surprised that 2 gb of RAM was enough, as long as you don't open to many tabs in your browser. I've had 2 browsers open with multiple tabs, and it ran fine. Besides peppy performance, the computer has a quality feel to it and is relatively stylish. It's the size of a chrome box, very small.

What's in the box:
Computer, AC adapter, keyboard, mouse & 3 pamphlets (User Manual, Quick Start Guide, Warranty Card). The AC adapter is about 1/3 the size of the computer and has a folding prong.

Although the computer is fully upgradeable (RAM, mSATA, Wifi/Bluetooth), page 29 of the User Manual states: "No Disassembly, the warranty does not apply to the products that have been disassembled by users". I assume that you void the warranty when you upgrade. Run the computer for 48-72 hours before you upgrade, just to make sure the components don't fail.

When you first turn the computer on, you only have 11.6 gb of storage to use. After installing 2 browsers, it dropped to 9.25 gb. After updating windows, the remaining available space is 6.05 gb. Besides upgrading the mSATA drive for more space, you can use a flash drive or SD memory card for additional storage space. Using an inline meter, the computer uses 4-13 watts of power.

I tested this computer (2gb / 32gb) vs. the HP Pavilion Mini 300-020 (8gb / 500gb - 7200 rpm) by loading CNN's homepage using the same browser. To my surprise, the computers loaded the web page roughly at the same time. I thought that the ASUS with its mSATA drive would beat a 500gb hard drive. The processor on the HP is better than the one on the ASUS, maybe that has something to do with it, not to mention the extra RAM on the HP. FYI, I'm very happy with the HP Pavilion Mini, it's also very peppy and expandable, and a steal at $250 if you can get one.

Pros:
Peppy performance
Small
All the ports you need, well placed.
Quiet fan
Runs cool
VESA mount capable
Good User Manual & documentation
Runs 2 monitors

Cons:
VESA mount not included
Sound is a bit flat from earphone jack
Kensington lock slot could have been placed better
Not much storage space on drive
A bit heavy
Might find a better value for $200

I purchased mine from the Microsoft Store one of the rep said it was the best deal under $1000. It has performed perfect and I recently changed the the 4 gb ram for a 8 one for 75.00 and watched a youtube video how to do it. It took me all of 5 minutes. Great purchase.

I've had this laptop since August/2011.  I did not get it on Amazon - there was a *great* deal on-line from another supplier and I took a chance on them.  This is without a doubt the best laptop I've ever had.  Thin, light, fast, with a superb screen.  The keyboard and touchpad are top notch.  The audio is excellent for such a small machine. No fans going on and off, instant boot, dual-band wireless (2.4 and 5Ghz, which I wasn't even aware of when I purchased it...) make this thing amazing.  Highly recommended.

The model I have is a CW29X. The options I chose when ordering from SonyStyle include the brand new Core i5 540m CPU, and 6GB of DDR-3 RAM. I know I paid a pretty penny, but the computer is great.

With the extended battery, I can get over 5 hours of web surfing. With the added SSD, Windows 7 takes seconds to boot. The WIFI picks up more signals then other computers in the house. With HDMI, it is easy to watch movies or play games on your big screen TV!

The keyboard is very nice, and the over all design is great. The speakers sound okay, the screen is very sharp, and the computer does not get very hot unless I play the newest of games on the highest settings! I ordered this computer before they were being shipped, and so I probably had the fastest computer in town for a little while! Windows shows 4 CPUS in task manager.

Being 14", it is almost like my wifes 1525 Dell laptop, but a bit more compact. It is very light and a pleasure to carry around. I am quite computer savvy, and this computer fits all my needs very well. I was considering a Core i7 Vaio, but it was a thousand bucks more for the model I was looking at.

The ASUS Eee 904 HA is exactly what I needed! It is everything I expected. I wanted a laptop that I could put a recipe program on and use in my small kitchen. I velcro it to an acrylic display stand on my countertop (to keep out of danger of spills, etc.) and it's perfect. I am female and my hands are small so the keyboard is fine. It takes a little getting used to is all. Of course the screen is a little small so the text is small. It's not always easy to make larger. But overall "small" is what makes this laptop work for me!

Great computer for the price. The specs listed did not show a video card but it came with a fx1800! not a bad card at all. It also came with a usb mouse and a usb key board. Also, believe it or not an actual 3 cd set of back up discs. Was shipped in what looked to be the original HP box! At first glance I thought it was new. After setting it up and doing all the Win7 updates :( which took forever.
It still is hard to not think of it as new. I could only find one very slight nick on the access panel. The representitave picture shows a card reader which it does not have. Happy Happy Happy customer.

This Gateway ZX4665G-UW31 Celeron 1017U All in One computer was our Christmas present to my husband. Since I am our IT person, I set it up, and had to transfer over the info from our former VERY OLD PC.

We both LOVE the large screen. We are oldish, and so larger is definitely better. He is amazed at how much faster the internet us is (LOL!) I have a Mac and I love mine bestest, but I am saying this is a GREAT little computer! It couldn't be better for my husband's purposes. He mainly uses the internet and does email, and sometimes plays card games or video games that don't use much power or graphics. This is perfect, and the price is very good.

It is SUPER easy to set up, and even transferring the data wasn't too bad (moving old Outlook to new presented a few challenges, and that is not the issue of the computer itself, LOL!)

And as much as I love my MacBook Pro, I SURE DID LOVE this large screen! Sigh...I don't want a larger laptop but that big screen is so cool....

Ive been using this computer and testing it a for ten days. So far it has met my every expectation, and appears to be completely up to spec. This is a very good machine at this price point. My wife and I bought it to replace our home laptop that is near failure.
This HP Pavilion model is ideal for home use, such as word processing, entertainment, moderate number crunching, web surfing, e-mail, and social network applications. We are not gamers, but with the AMD A8-7410 Quad Core processor, I assume it could handle light gaming applications. However, if you're looking for a gaming intensive machine, this probably is not it.
Appearance +
This is a sleek modern looking laptop that is pleasing to the eye. The backlit keyboard adds to the visual appeal.
Speed ++
With the 16G RAM it fast enough for most non-gaming applications. I was concerned that 8G would not be adequate for Windows 10 and might compromise the throughput expected from and the advanced quad core processor.
Battery +
Ive used this computer with only battery power for up to six hours without a problem. It still had about 30% battery after six hours. However I did not play any video intensive applications during this test.
Display ++
The 15.6 Inch, 1366 x 736 resolution provides a stunning display for movies and photos and a non-glare surface for work. So far I noticed no lag in displaying video with the AMD Radeon Graphics.
The display is a touch screen with pinch-to zoom feature that is very smooth and responsive.
Audio ++
HP has replaced Beats audio with Bang & Olufson. From what Ive heard so far from these speakers, this change is a significant upgrade. Disclaimer: I am not an audiophile and have some hearing loss at the outer ranges of the normal human sound spectrum.
Keyboard +
The keyboard is surprisingly smooth. The backlighting is not only an attractive addition, but very handy in low light situations.
Touchpad --
While the touchpad is fluid and generally responsive, it has neither the pinch-to-zoom feature nor the double tap in the top left corner to activate/deactivate feature.

In the past I haven't considered Amazon when shopping for computers. But I will going forward. This machine was sold by Eluktronics Inc. and fulfilled by Amazon. Eluktronics is rated 4.9 stars with over 600 ratings. They fulfilled my order on time and answered a product question I had within 24 hours.

The first thing I did was to set this Asus U32U up with Unbuntu Linux. I also added another 4 GB of RAM. Everything worked perfectly in Ubuntu right out of the box except the suspend function, but I think there is a workaround for that. It is a solid machine, and you can see the attention to detail in the finish. The keyboard is well-laid out and has the right touch. The screen is very bright and vivid, though the viewing angle is somewhat limited. Streaming audio and video run smoothly. AMD obviously has done a good job designing and integrating the graphics processor so you are getting the most out of the E-450.
Power management is excellent. It runs very cool and quiet - just getting barely warm on the bottom. I had it on the battery for six hours yesterday and didn't have to recharge. So I'd say for the price this is an excellent choice. I plan to use it at school and for a small business I have.

great machine for the money.  packaged extremely well and arrived in tip top shape. Built sturdy and doesn't feel cheap.  plugged in and was online using it in about 10 minutes.  Boots extremely fast, very quiet and powerful. Im a casual gamer but i do run World of Warcraft and Diablo III on full maxed out settings and it doesn't skip a beat. I have not tested with any real graphic intensive games yet but I would have a hard time imagining that it wouldnt be able to handle it.  i highly recommend it.

edit: i had to log in and edit this.  This review is based on me purchasing this for $769.00 a couple weeks ago. .  I see now it is 987.00.  Somehow it went up in price.  Still a good computer but now it is in the 1000 dollar range. not sure what else is out there in that price range.

The HP Mini that I received not too long ago is perfect for me and what I need it for. I wanted something that was light weight, fast, and easy to use, plus I was not sure about the keyboard (I have experienced hand cramps before on other netbooks with standard layouts) however this HP completely delivers in every way that I can imagine. The screen is great! The keyboard has the "island layout" and it is perfect for me :) they are spaced out just enough so that my fingers are not cramped together to try and type. I have replaced the hard drive and the memory since I got it, not because they were faulty, just because I wanted to enhance it and make it a bit better and I must say that this netbook has accepted both with ease and I did not have any problems with either the install of each nor with the way they are working within this awesome piece of machinery! I have had an HP Laptop in the past and was blown away by its performance, and this netbook by HP has given me the same joy as I had when I had my laptop! :D

Very good computer! Worth the money,and good service ...

Its a great computer for the price. It starts up in about 10 seconds. Its fast on the net, and opening files with thousands of picture previews. It is really quiet considering how many fans are running, there are some vents on the top that you can open when you are gaming, and you can close them when you are partying so the dust doesn't settle inside of it, and being a heavy smoker, I thought that it was a great feature. My buddy is real into the hardware of computers, and he says that it would be hard to build this same computer for the price I paid, and that in a couple of years I could easily upgrade. So yeah im happy :)

My only complaints about it are that the software for the cd drive (LG something) always wants permission to do something on startup, ive tried to let it install new drivers and still it pops up first thing on startup to ask permission. Its a minor annoyance but still its something. My other complaint is really more based on ignorance rather than the computer itself. I thought buying a mid range gaming tower, that it would be able to play the newest games on decent graphics settings. I was wrong lol, Battlefield 4 does play, but its on low settings or the framerate just dips out(singleplayer works great though on high settings). All the other games I have gotten through amazon or steam play on max graphics. So if you ar elooking for a beast of a gaming rig, you better shell out another 800 buck, but if you want something decent, this is your machine :)

This computer is fantastic. I was worried about the Linux OS, and I was going to wait until the Windows OS came out. I'm glad I didn't - the Linux isn't a problem at all. The computer has no problem reading my Word files, or converting them back to Word. And the set-up was really easy. I even had the wireless Internet working in about ten minutes. I like this little light computer as much as my old Fujitsu lifebook (also around 2 pounds), but this Asus was about one fifth of the price!

I must start off saying that this is a second laptop of this spec (and third Asus laptop this year) in the household.
These A8-4500 machines perform amazing for what they are used for in the household- laptops that we as university students use for school and personal use. I additionally installed a 8GB RAM stick in place of the 2GB secondary stick and this machine is now one that is hard to overload!

As someone who has bought three Asus laptops in the past year, I can also comment on the quality (two of these quad-code AMD's and one Intel i3). I have seen reviews of bad touchpads and bad screens, but all three of our computers functioned perfectly from the moment they were unwrapped from the box.
