[bar1]

Hi,
what do you guys think of the Asus Eee Pc 1015B?

I could only find 1 proper review on this exact unit (with the AMD C50 - 1.0Ghz dual core cpu, 2GB of RAM, USB 3, and 500GB hard drive).

Thanks
Bar1.

Rather try get an E-350 version. Much faster CPU.

My vote is also for the e350 the c50 will be a Tad slow.

And for God's sake stay away from atom it is shyte.

Wow R3200 for a full notebook is pretty good. Strange that they are putting a netbook processor into such a large formfactor though.

The local Asus is the one I would select. If it has to be a netbook formfactor I would wait a little and get a reasonably priced one. That Sony is bloody ridiculous.

Thanks Pada.
I think i will stick with the 1015B, price and specs are great (USB3 and 500GB hard drive).

anyone have experience with the C50? how is it comparing ti the E-350?

Its the e-350's little brother. Gave only seen reviews on the 350 so can't comment but should be fine for basic tasks.

The C50 is like a low power & slower version of the E-350, which might be fine if you're just using the netbook for web surfing.
