Toshiba NB305 vs. Asus eee 1001P-PU17: From what I understand, they're pretty much the same except for looks?

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?

I have both and really like the 1000HE(belongs to my wife). I got the Toshiba today and I love it. You really can't go wrong with either one. I do like the finish on the Toshiba.

Hi, the VivoBook S500 is my first Asus netbook, so I can't compare it with another model. Sorry

hi, Thank You for Your interest. Below I enclose the full specs of this item in a link. http://www.cnet.com/laptops/toshiba-portege-z935-p300/4507-3121_7-35477669.html

it depends on the network. N networks are so far the fastest, but in all reality, i HIGHLY doubt anybody can tell which is faster considering we are limited on our bandwidth anyways. im in the netbook market now as well and after my research i would go with the toshiba nb205 due to the keyboard. BUT i am now leaning towards the 11.6 to 12.1 inchers. not only bigger keyboards but also bigger screens and STILL extremely portable with long battery life.

Thanks! I appreciate the information. I'll probably buy the U100 (aren't lower numbers usually cheaper?), or maybe the Acer equivalent or even the Asus, though that seems to be a bit heavier. (I'd welcome opinions on the relative merits of these computers.)

The one I received is a genuine Toshiba instead of just a generic one, so it is original Toshiba in my case. I am not sure for anyone else.

It was factory installed with the original version. I now have a Toshiba Satellite which has proved itself superior to Asus. My next laptop will be another Toshiba, I'll never waste my money on another Asus again.

You should contact Toshiba. I would guess no. They don't mention it in the specs. Derek

As far as I can tell, there is no difference. All of the specs are identical - I thought maybe it was just an "updated" version. Hope this helps!

That's odd. Out of all the memory I have been looking at, this one was the one which seemed to complement the compatability of the ASUS 1015PED. Are you sure it is not DDR2? The netbook is DDR3. Maybe they sent you the incorrect model. Double check, but try and return it to Amazon to get your money back.I'll keep an eye out for any other memory which would be compatable with this netbook. Sorry about your memory upgrade issues. Thanx for the info.

thanks for the link, also about to purchase Ul20a with the memory you recommended, just wondering if its the same timings and specs than the one that comes inside.

As indicated in the title of the discussion: Asus eee pc 1201n. Pricing and availability have not been announced by Asus. That is the point of the discussion.

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

There may be some specs differences, but from a user point of view, practically speaking, they are very similar. Hope this helps.
