"great pc until the power supply dies"
Pros: great battery life. Great functionality...light and portable.
Cons: owned this device for 3 weeks and the power supply dies. Called the crack asus tech support team and took 2 hours to get an RMA. Then was informed that they dont have the power supply and dont know when it will be in. asus tech support sucks.
Summary: great pc. since netbooks are new its hard to find a offbrand powersupply, got one on ebay. Once i test the new off brand power supply I'll update my review. That being said its a great netbook. I use it on the train commuting and love it.

Same here. Called ASUS last night, got an RMA, and faxed the forms today. We'll see what happens and how long it takes to get a replacement. I'll try tapping the ac adapter on a hard surface and see if that works as others are suggesting. I had no problem though with ASUS tech support.

WOW!!! Read this review which was similar to the one I wrote AND the reply. Hit the A/C adapter on a hard surface and the adapter now works.
Like the reviewers experience ASUS doesn't have any A/C adapters in stock and won't have them until the end of the month at best. This only took 3 days to find out and still they want me to pay for faster delivery AND told me if I can't wait I should buy a third-party adapter.
AWFUL POST SALES SUPPORT!!! -
tap the power brick on a hard surface a few times this will release to the thermal switch if it is stuck.found this quick fix on asus forum and it also has worked for me with other devices
