ASUS 1018PB-BK801 Netbook Review

After battling with myself for almost a year whether to get a netbook or not, I finally came to conclusion 3 days ago, and that was to buy this bad-ass netbook, ASUS 1018PB-BK801. You may have heard this model before from Egadget; however, the ASUS 1018P that I got from Best Buy was not exactly the same with the one that Engadget described as a netbook with Intel Atom N455 and USB 3.0 ports. Apparently, Best Buy came up with their own version of ASUS 1018P, which is 1018PB. The model looks the same. The only different was the internal specifications. And for now (as of 07/15/2010), the only place you can get ASUS 1018P is from Best Buy in-store only. Their online stock for ASUS 1018PB is on backorder now.

FYI, I actually considered also ASUS 1005PE, ASUS 1005HA, and Toshiba Mini N305. But, I finally decided to go with ASUS 1018P (1018PB in this case). It doesn’t get as long as 14 hours battery life like in ASUS 1005P, but I don’t think I will use my laptop without plugging it in to power outlet that long either. The biggest plus point for ASUS 1018P is its unique design. As far as its capabilities, it is about the same like other netbooks.

10 Ways to Take a Better Note

Being a student for almost seven years and a teacher lately has brought new perspective of note taking. It used to be that I took notes because my parents or my teacher asked me so. The initiative of taking notes came from someone else. As I grew older, I began to realize the importance of taking notes in my classes, meetings, workplaces, and even in a church service. From something that was “ordered” by someone else, taking good notes is now becoming a necessity. I start to realize that without taking a good note, I won’t be able to succeed in my life.
