This is a very nice laptop for the money. It is perfectly fine for a little web surfing and email and that's all I need. I've had it for about a month and had no problems. It has the Ubuntu operating system so you need to have a little &#34;geek&#34; in you. Ubuntu isn't quite ready for prime time, in my opinion. I have experience with various Linux based operating systems so it was easy for me but your mileage may vary,
I spent a day trying to find display drivers and make them work. ASUS support website is useless regarding Ubuntu, It went back to Amazon in a box. I very much hope that Ubuntu will someday be that out of the box product that will end the Windows tyranny of computing.
I may just buy a more reliable netbook and load Ubuntu on it.I've had stellar results with Asus products except this one. I've purchased a full size Win7 laptop and it's great. I bought one of their AMD quad core motherboards and it's also pretty good. I'm typing on the 1000HE netbook now and I've had reliable results from it for over 4 years.However, the 1015E-DS02 is a dog.

How blind is this guy... What part of Ubuntu OS included does he not understand.. Spend a little time reading the specs before complaining...
Where to begin. The housing is cheap. Ubuntu 12.04 runs on it at a snail's pace, and inflicts the most annoying complicated leger-de-main for upgrades. Truly, save yourself a lot of frustration by buying something better with any other OS.
external cd/dvd, printer, external HDDs and so forth). The included software should be more than sufficient for one's everyday computer needs,  if additional software is needed there is a vast library of free software available for  the Ubuntu O/S. As to ease of operation? If one is familar with Windows, this O/S should present no problems. Lastly the HDMI port on the unit connects to a HDMI port of a HDTV giving the unit a much larger monitor screen.
Everything else seems OK. I replaced the disk drive with an SSD.
