The Good

The Bad
However, the battery life, at only 3 hours for us, means that we'd prefer an Eee over the R505 FA03UK.
What you need to know
Also with the new Notebook style keyboard and built in 1.3 mega pixel webcam, the improved Netbook could be regarded as the perfect combination of its Notebook counterparts with the convenience of its size and weight making it an ideal travelling companion and work tool.
