There is one area, however, where the Eee PC 1025C Flare does amazingly well, and that's battery life. The system ran for 10 hours and 19 minutes in our video playback battery drain test. That's an amazingly long time, and the real advantage of Intel's revamped Atom chips. Of course, it takes twice as long to do anything on this laptop, so keep that in mind as well.
Asus includes an industry-standard, one-year parts-and-labor warranty with the system. Asus also offers a collection of online support tools, including driver downloads, online FAQs, and a 24-7 toll-free phone line, although the support section layout and implementation are not as clear as for some other PC brands.
Asus almost single-handedly created the Netbook craze, which brought affordable computing to many, and the company deserves much credit for that. This is clearly a category with its best days long behind it, however, and it's hard to imagine exactly who the Eee PC 1025C Flare would be for outside of developing markets.
