The system's battery life is where the new Atom platform really shines. Asus has always had some of the longest-lived Netbooks, and this 1005PEB ran for 6 hours and 42 minutes on our video playback battery drain test. The Dell actually ran a minute longer, but the Samsung was behind by more than 30 minutes. That all seems impressive, until you note that similar Eee PC models have run past 8 hours on the same test.
Asus covers its laptops with a standard, one-year, parts-and-labor warranty, and it offers online Web-based help and a toll-free phone number. The company's confusing mix of support Web sites is a bit of a mess, but after digging around on three different related support subsites, we did manage to finally dig up the U.S. 24-7 toll-free support number, which is 888-678-3688.
