What's better, the ASUS one or this one?

I would personally go for the EVGA. Better warranty and I prefer them over Asus in the GPU department :) Good luck!

This one is great! Is just matter of personal choice, but I recommend it to anyone!

The base evga and Asus cards are identical, although the superclocked/ signature editions are a few percent faster and often still cheaper than the Asus one on here.

David, The best thing is to go to ASUS website and look at the motherboard specs.

Sorry, I don't know. This one is the first experience I have had with ASUS, and it is very good. I bought it on the recommendation of David Brooks of Shutterbug magazine, as being an excellent choice for color printing, as it has the controls to set the screen's color balance that most other monitors lack.

There are a few things, best thing is go to asus website where you can compare different models. Hope this helps. Excellent board I must say.

Don't know, but this PC is crap. Bad battery life, bad motherboard. I would not advise buying an ASUS.

The 1810T has in addition:- HDMI,- Bluetooth,- Gigabit ethernet,- Extra 2GB RAM for a total of 4GB.- It is also 0.2lbs lighter.I would still go for the UL20A though because of ASUS build quality, metallic cover and overall design if it had the first two, i.e. HDMI and Bluetooth. For now I'm waiting...

Hello, I just finished buying an ASUS 1000HE (literally within the past hour or so), but while I wait for it to get shipped, I was wondering if I should also opt for the memory upgrade. Seems, cheap and effortless to install, I'm just curious, have you noticed a significant difference in performance? Thanks.

Both boards are awesome, and come from solid manufacturers. RMA policies for both are great (albeit slow sometimes). It really boils down to price and application. The GA board has 6x SATA connectors and WiFi while the Asus has 4x SATA connectors and no WiFi. The Gigabyte also has Dual LAN (one Intel, one Atheros). The Asus supports DDR3 3200 while the Gigabyte only supports DDR3 3100. The Asus appears to have better heatsinks on the power devices which is typically better for overclocking. The Asus also has an M.2 slot, which isn't a big deal unless you really plan on using it. When I built my rig I went with the Gigabyte for its feature-set and price point and couldn't be happier.

You will not find a computer better then this for the price. I have been in IT for over 30 yrs now. Asus has been making great system boards for a long time now. Very low failure rate that I have seen. The RAM and HD is quite good for the 64 bit OS. I researched many computers before I found this one. I purchased it for my neighbor who I know will need a stable computer. If you can add about $100-200 you will even find a more powerful ASUS computer. It may even have a good graphics card added. I needed to stay at $400 but I just could not find a decent computer for that price. So this ASUS did the trick for me and now my neighbor.

They have very similar attributes, so in some cases, unless you are taking advantage of that feature, it can become a moot point. I would suggest first reviewing the ASUS comparison table and scrolling across the differences, then asking yourself if each of them come into play with respect, feature wise, for the build that you have planned. http://promos.asus.com/us/z87/comparison/

Don't know I returned it already . Was taking too long to hear from gigabyte tech support. Got the Asus and it works great.

Dont bother with the Asus, the firmware is awful. Sexy unit, worthless software. Im trying the E4200 tomorrow.

they both look pretty good to me according to laptop magazine's reviews. I think it depends on which keyboard you prefer cause that's one of the most important aspects. Also, the trackpad seems better on the toshiba but there's not multitouch which I use a lot on the asus for two finger scrolling. Also, if you plan to use the camera for video conferencing, then the Asus has a 1.3 mp camera versus the toshiba's 0.3 mp. Keep in mind only the toshiba black one is cheaper and it's because the keyboard is not as good and the build quality is cheaper. The other toshibas which are $399 are more expensive than the 1005ha. One advantage on the on the toshiba is the hard drive protection. Other than that it seems like personal preference to me. Both screens on the asus and toshiba are glossy. It's just the lid on the toshiba is matte. It seems like that is the trend on the newer generation of netbooks for some reason even though a lot of people prefer matte screens. I recommend going to Best Buy and trying them out in person first. They sell a lesser variation of the Asus there and also the same toshiba.

I too looked at both of these netbooks and both would serve my purposes. But I think I am going to choose the toshiba mini 205. My biggest reason is the negative reviews on the asus 1005ha concerning the batteries and ac adapters scared me a little. While the complaints with the toshiba appears to be more fixable. Poor sound quality is fixable with the use of headphones since the headphone jack is stereo, not monoaural like the speaker, and trackpad issues can be fixed with the use of a mouse.

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

Good luck finding one. When you do buy it regardless of price. Asus stopped producing them quite a while ago.

Some say the ASUS card is better. Some say it's a bitch to get running --funky drivers??? I don't know. I also don't know about the ZxR, but the X-Fi card is effortless to install and does a nice job. If your motherboard has embedded sound, you may need to get into the BIOS to disable it rather than doing it from Control Panel, but that would likely always be the case.
