Any problem attaching the 1025C to a Microsoft home network (in order to sync with other non-laptop devices)? How does 1025C handle MS office suite?

I have office 2007 ent on it and I'm very happy with the performance of Word and Excel. Using the wifi (N router flashed to ddwrt) and the ethernet port (1 gigabit switch) I happy to report good to great performance. Of course the wifi is slower than a cabled connection. My "Server" is 6 core intel 780i with many expensive hardware upgrades (Real RAID etc..) running Vista ultimate but it should work as well as your home network for simple file sharing. happy to answer any other questions.

I've had no problem using the 1025C as a client on my home network. It joins my homegroup just fine, but I don't know exactly what you mean by synching with other non laptop devices. If, by "sync", you mean sharing files, there shoud be no problem there with most devices. If you want to know for sure, you should look up information about the file formats and networking protocols that whatever specific 'non-laptop' devices you have will use when sharing files and other data. Sharing files of standard types can usually be done across most modern devices but there are many exceptions to that. As far as the Office Suite, the 1025C has plenty of computing power to be sufficient. It. of course, might be a little slower than a full size high end notebook but I think it's safe to say the difference in actual user experience would max out at around 15%. I installed an SSD in my 1025C and it is a very snappy performer.

This computer was so slow and I had so many problems connecting it to my work network that I returned and got an Acer Aspire One instead. Sorry I can't help you with that.

sharing with other computers hasn't been a problem for me, but i'm only sharing with another asus and an acer (both laptops)

I had no problem joining my homegroup and sharing files with my desktop and another laptop, both running Windows 7. I use MS Office 2007. It is a little slower on Word and Powerpoint than my desktop, but not outrageously. I wouldn't use it as my main productivity machine, but for journaling and keeping a photo scrapbook, it works a treat.

we bought 2 of these and are using them in a conference room; one is mounted on the wall (the versa mount made this really easy) and the other is tucked into the channel on a conference room table. We only just completed the installation, but in the week that we've been using them I haven't had any problem. We're not using them for anything taxing (mostly PPT), so can't answer for heavy-duty computing. I've been surprised at how fast the machines are. (Fyi, we're running W7 pro in a corporate environment; not using wireless). Hope this helps. I'll report back if I learn anything more;

That I can not answer, I do not have Adobe Connect. However, the PC runs MS Office 2013, Sonic Wall's Net Extender without any issues. In he next few weeks I do intend to load more sorftware and see what happens.

No, the Sync properties do not connect for what I have attempted (please do some more research). Also, Microsoft Active Sync 4.5 does not install on Windows 8.1. Windows 7 works great with this device (Once connected the device can sync on all aspects even providing the iPaq internet over a bluetooth connection (range limits the distance).

IMO the 1000HE will fit your needs. Recognize that MS Office is not included, so you will have to compromise and use Star Office, unless you have the ability to add Office on your own. As long as you are using Word 2003 or earlier, Star Office is a viable solution.As to buyers remorse, so far the device has met and exceeded my expectations, considering its price-point compared to "competing" netbooks. While 9 hours of battery time seems like a far-fetched claim, I'm perfectly happy with the 7 hours or so I seem to be getting.My only criticism has been the sound quality from the speakers. Turning on the Dolby helps, but at best the audio is mediocre. IMO the 1000HE will fit your needs.

I have the CP1000. Similar. I can't answer your question BUT the only connection I have to my computer is the power plug and there should be no software interaction between the CP and computer. Plug your computer in (Windows or Mac) and the CP handles the rest including printers, screens, external Drives.

I am doing this for a work site to the main office. It's a bit buggy getting it running though and will need public IP addresses. You may want to review current documentation though to verify they haven't created a sync via hosted web service since we set ours up.

I unplugged my Internet and checked. It seemed to work fine, so I can only assume it uses the Internet for updates and maintenance from MS and to verify you are not loading the program on a different computer.

Honestly, I have not tried doing so. But, it would work if Chrome has some kind of built-in driver for the drive. Generally, it seems that Chrome has limitations and, while easy to use, is not as robust as MS Windows when it comes to settings and possibly to attaching devices. My impression has been that this is more of a cloud (internet-connected) type of setup. Though, you're welcome to try attaching an external drive. I'd be curious to know if the attached drive would work.

No It COULD use Bluetooth at not sig. cost to MS. But it is Microsoft's arrogant rejection of standards. I love the mouse, but hate that it takes up one of only two USB ports on my Ultrabook that has Bluetooh built in. It all goes back to the early days of the PC industry, dominated by young boys who never learned to play well with others

It should, haven't tried it though. I just connect it to the network and use it without installing the software.

Yes it should work fine for your needs, however it is not loaded with office suite.

Yes it dose I had no problem with it. I even used it with my laptop too, but you have to down load the updated software.

What is MS8? Do you mean Microsoft 8? I know it syncs fine with Microsoft Word and Excel. I think it would do fine no matter what the systems and programs. These things seem to be able to download or use whatever it takes to make them work. I dread the day when there will be no more Palms. It is still the coolest thing invented that one can enjoy without the cyberspace clutter. Good Luck!

No. This is the full version. You may have to call Microsoft to get them to re-set your Serial Number. One suggestion. Make sure your OS is up to date before you start installing core programs including MS Office. If you're running Windows 7, everything should work fine. MS Tech Supports number is (800) 892-5234.

Yes. When I had trouble with mounting to the. network I ran the printer on an old laptop with vista. Finally resolved the network issue with a firmware upgrade

I would assume you found out by now if the unit would work for you? Would be nice to hear if it worked for you. EG: You post back if unit worked in Vista.... (Net is a wonderful source of info IF people post back into threads they've created. -think two way street when posting... instead of one way street in which you expect all info to flow towards you.) Sort of mute point at this point in time, still... when creating a thread asking for HELP... when you do have a answer/info -update the thread/post. Will this item work in Vista? This unit was marketed during before VISTA, Windows7 was around. (Newest OS listed is XP) Don't know about VISTA... but SanDisk CF Type I/II ImageMate USB 2.0 Reader/Writer (Model SDDR-92-A15) is showing as Windows 7 32/64 bit compatible -no need to install any additional software, in case anyone is interested. (Packaging indicates you MUST install some type of software that came with unit prior to connecting drive.... Guess this is for the "One-Touch Transfer button".) Drive should show up under your drive listing...without any additional software. http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=SanDisk%20Imagemate%20Card%20Reader&v=SanDisk&uid=SDDR-92-A15&l=en-US&pf=0&pi=9&c=Mice%2C%20Keyboards%20%26%20Input%20Devices&sc=Other%20Input%20Devices&os=64-bit
