As netbooks have more or less standard hardware under the hood, netbooks can really only be distinguished by the parts that you the user interact with, namely, the screen, keyboard, and touchpad. I don't really have any complaints about the former and the latter. The screen has good contrast, but perhaps could be a little brighter. And, of course, it's matte, which is probably what drew you to this netbook in the first place (if you're anything like me). The touchpad is fine, no complaints.
Where the unit goes wrong is the keyboard. It is spongy. I very much dislike spongy, loud keyboards, but that is precisely what the 1001p has. Is it enough for me to put it on Ebay? No, but I am tempted to remove the case and see if I can add some reinforcements to make the tray more stable.
Cosmetically, it's basically what you expect. Looks decent, the seashell design is aesthetically pleasing, the pattern isn't garish. My only complaint on this end is the glossy bezel. I have no idea why it was necessary to put a fingerprint and dust magnet on an otherwise all matte netbook. But this is a quibble. The keyboard is the main fault.

Light wieght and easy to use. Only problem is the resolution of the images is 1024X600, not good enough for a lot of program.......A little slow at times......

Fool me once...
Close to a month ago I ordered a Eee Pe 1005HA-Pu (the more expensive one with more bells and whistles: longer battery life, bluetooth etc) with high expectations. After two days the adapter plug would make a high pitched static noise when I plugged into the computer and it wouldn't go away. I returned it. Its been my experience in the past that healthy computers SHOULD NOT be making weird noises. It turns out that Asus has a pretty horrible rap sheet when it comes to the adapters it uses for its Eee PCs. Go look at the 1005 HA reviews on amazon and look at the "one star" reviews. They are mostly about DOA units or power cords that break too easily or just plain don't work. I returned it for a full refund. My theory is that most people don't write reviews if they return there computer for a refund, meaning that while there are "only" eighty or so one star reviews, there are untold amounts of disappointed and frustrated suckers like myself out there that were too pissed and fed up to make time to write a negative review.
Fool me twice...
Not having time to do more research and wanting to give Asus a second chance (this I did BEFORE I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE PREVALENCE OF POWER CORD ISSUES) My unit, the one this page is for Eee Pc 1001P White, arrived just one time. I opened up that package and low and behold the SD CARD READER DID NOT WORK. The dummy, place holder, card was sticking out of the jack. I tried to get it to stay in but after booting up the comp, I tried a real SD Card and it would only read the card if I physically held it in place the whole time I was access files. Needless to say this was totally unacceptable and I am now in the process of a SECOND RETURN FOR REFUND!!!
My advice, Don't buy an Eee. There are lots of advice out there, and having learned the hard way I've decided to maybe spend a little bit more and get a SAMSUNG, DELL, HP, or something else that has a better reputation for customer service and overall build quality.
Also the Matte screen is definitely not as high quality as the shiny one. It really did look pretty crappy in comparison.
JUST SAY NO TO ANOTHER PIECE OF JUNK!
By Sagistic (Los Angeles, CA)
The ASUS 1001P (white) is truly gorgeous. It just looks and feels impeccably detailed and doesn't feel flimsy. I'll lay out a quick pro/con first before updating it later with more details/observations. Keep in mind, I've only had this netbook to play with for a few hours, yet it expels me to write a review, since there's none for this particular model.
Pros
______________________________________
+ Battery life! I doubt any other model offers an 11 hour battery life at this price point ($299). If you only surf the net, write reports, or do simple tasks, on a slightly dimmer backlight, you can well get up to 10.5hrs. However, other intensive tasks with a brighter view can cut the battery life in half (~6 hours), which is still good.
+ Keyboard - I like the feel of it, and it doesn't feel as cramped. I have slightly smaller than average hands, but it works well. I prefer non-chiclet style, as this netbook is.
+Trackpad- I'm glad this one didn't come with bumpy surface. I tried it at a local BB, and didn't really like the feel of it. I also don't mind the single bar layout for the left and right clicks.
+LCD- This one comes with the matte LCD style. I thought it would be less sharper or poorer viewing angles, but it seems sharp enough for me.
+Chassis- I love the latticework/non-glossy look. Doesn't attract any fingerprints and it doesn't look plasticy.
Cons
________________________________
- Battery Charger - I wasn't going to order ASUS unless I was sure that the problem was fixed, but I decided to just gamble. Unfortunately, I got the worst brand. There seems to be 3 different types of chargers. One from Enertronix (high failure rate due to a overheating problem that shuts off the charger and making it unusable), one from delta (the best one- doesn't seem to have any failure rates)- and one from PI Electronics (not sure about this one). It works for now, but many users have reported it comes DOA or fails within 1-3 months. * More about this down below*
- No N-wireless while the Acer alternative with the same price point has this option
- Windows 7 Starter. Sucks. Amazon needs to fix this; The technical details say that it comes with Win7, but the Specifications says Win XP Home.
Neutral
______________________________________________________
- No netbook sleeve, I purchased a separate one from Amazon.
- Comes with crappy outside cardboard box.
***More about the battery charger. As I've mentioned, I got the crappy one. It's specific model is Enertronix #EXA0901XH. If ASUS readily replaced this, it wouldn't be much of a concern. But, users in various forums have reported that ASUS's crappy customer service and lack of, as well as weeks or months of backordered chargers prevented them from getting a new one. In addition, ASUS doesn't pay for shipping back the failed battery charger. However, if you get lucky and get any of the other two charger models, there seems to be no problem.
However, it seems that most people found a temporary solution. I'll try to relay the knowledge I've gained about these solutions. First, it seems that the faulty charger lies within an overheating problem and a mechanism for turning the charger off (but not back on). So you can alleviate this problem by temporarily allowing your charger to cool down after each use and if that doesn't work, putting it in the refrigerator for ~10-20 minutes. Other users have also mentioned that the charger will fail quicker, if multiple input locations are used. So if you keep plugging in and out the charger at different outlets, it often fails.
Despite the problem with the charger, the netbook itself is great, and even with its shortcomings, I decided to take a plunge. Whether it turns out to be a problem or not, time will tell.

Update as of 2-13-2010/about 2 weeks into purchase
- My charger still works fine, although it runs pretty hot. I've attached an heatsink from an old video card (not sure if this helps any), and I haven't really been using the charger anywhere else except in my bedroom.
- The matte screen, although great for outside, I am starting to see the lack in brightness compared to a glossy at a bright setting. The viewing angle is also pretty limited but most of the times you'll be look straight ahead.
- I've also noticed that the battery is very heavy so that the weight of the whole netbook is not equally distributed, but slightly heavier towards the battery, but its not a concern on flat surfaces.
- I have used coreAVC to try resolutions of 720p on .mkv and .avi and they worked fine. However, the cpu will run at 95-100%. Also, it has much difficulty running multiple flash embedded sites (for example, trying to run youtube and omgpop or hulu at the same time).
- Battery life is still good, and I haven't seen any noticeable decreases. One thing I've noticed is that it takes a while for the system to estimate your battery life depending on your usage style.
- I will be using this netbook more extensively, so more updates will be posted. So far so good.
