For that price, you can get many other laptops with better specs, that's why I meant

Weight
Thin and light. you can take the notebook and put in on your palm and type with the other hand

Battery Life
Fantastic

GPU
I am not a gamer so cant test those extreme games. But facebook games load fast and good

This is the table i extracted from engadget
                                                                PCMarkVantage  3DMark06 Battery Life
ASUS U36Jc (Core i5 / NVIDIA GeForce 310M)  5981        2048 / 3524      5:30
ASUS U33Jc-A1 (Core i3-370M, GeForce 310M)  5574        1860 / 3403      5:10
Toshiba Portege R705 (Core i3-350M)            5024        1739 / 3686      4:25
HP Pavilion dm1z (AMD Zacate E350)              2510          2213              5:02
ASUS Eee PC 1215N (Atom D525 / NVIDIA Ion 2) 1942          181 / 2480            5:42
Dell Inspiron M101z (dual-core AMD Neo K325)  2572            1311              3:35

Notes: the higher the score the better. For 3DMark06, the first number reflects score with GPU off, the second with it on.

Keyboard
Chicklet keyboard
Nothing to shout about. But if have balcklit keyboard then it will be better

USB3.0
No device to test yet

Recovery
Built in hidden partition. No need backup disk or other devices

Sound
Not good. Cant even beat my eeepc Dobly sound system

Windows startup
I found it slow. But after it has start up. It works fantasticly.
Open software such as Microsoft Office is fast
Browser Mozzila, browsing lowyat.net. Very fast

Asus Express Gate/Cloud
Fast boot up. can use to browse net.
then can either switch to OS or shut down directly.
Sort of dual boot function
*
For ur boot time, try removing all the bloatwares and configure ur startup programs to improve it

yes, i am figuring that. And i found out after installing antivirus such as Norton 360.
The whole thing getting slow down

Additional review
Charger - Standard size charger. Hope to get a charger like EEEPC

Charging time - Very Long
*
Haha Norton slows down the system very much.. Why not consider using Avast or ESET4?
