The 1005PE offers the user everything that they could want from a netbook, but with one exception, the Asus 1005PE offers a battery life of up to fourteen hours and that is operation time, not just sitting there doing nothing. It is a great netbook and can be used for virtually any purpose, but staying in touch with the office or home is one of the main features of portable computing and with this one it makes no difference how far you are travelling.
