In Linux, there are still problems with switching the built-in / discrete video.I did not look at the laptop.

Yes, and in practice, too. In win7, the power management applet has processor speed settings, kernel parking and cooling settings that can save battery power.
If you touch on the theme of kompiz, then the laptop without it lives almost twice as much (with active use), which is very sad ...

Z.Y. Although many of the basics have a "power mode" button, where power limits are set at the hardware level.

netbook ASUS 1001PX 2200Mah. The operating time for ubuntu and for Vin XP is exactly the same, the default settings. Well, in ubuntu, a little graphics are added.

He put the second OS on Ubuntu on the old Dell Celeron 1.9, worked the same, but for some reason, from under the ubunta he clicked the screw much louder and warmed up more noticeably, it bothered me and returned to the seven.

Windows 7.Not Starter of course.
Personally, the norms work for me.

Installed, I used a special version of Win7 for EeePC 901, I will say that it works better than XP (except for the lack of internal memory). Wi-fi works better, and in general resources are allocated in my opinion more correctly. The battery life on it is much shorter ... If on XP with the power saving setting "battery saving" and the super hybrid engine program in the "power saving mode" mode, the screen brightness of 25-30% laptop worked 3-5 hours, then on Win7 with the same settings 2-3 hours

Windows 7 Ultimate. AAO 522. A minimum of 5 hours (games, music, films). If you read (backlight 40-50%), then about 8 hours.

Windows 7 Ultimate Build Build. AO522 up to 7 hours with moderate use. I do not have the desire to switch to XP: happy:

I’ll add on my own.
I have ubuntu 11.04 compared to the seven lived an hour and a half less ...
Constantly loaded the stone by 40% and from here - more power to it, it turns the cooler harder.
Then I understood why, fixed it.
Loads at 0% when idle ... but vseravno cooler that crazy spinning! Those. percent is heated Strange, demolished since tired of looking for a reason.

I tried on Lenovo s10 WinXP, Win7, MacOS
I did not notice the difference between the first two. In the case of the poppy, the gain is about 20 minutes. I would have sat on the poppy, but it strained the office interface, which is completely different from the Windows, and small hangs. He returned to Seven. 1GB of RAM for Mac is not enough = (

lenovo s205, win 7 home extended, 80% brightness, 8 hours of Word.

Yesterday I bought an Acer Aspire One D 257-N57Ckk without an OS. A friend set the maximum 7, but either the friend was wrong, or 7 such a curve: Wi-Fi does not want to work ... what do you recommend installing? (I bought it to run an office and .. .for the soul in Diablo 2nd drive)

Install drivers for Wi-Fi from the website of the laptop developers, if it doesn’t help, try still searching for the answer in Google, if not, put meego, or xp

After the very first system update, Runtu stopped working normally, a lot of time has passed, but the bugs have not been fixed, java runtime is also not installed. Generally too truncated ...

Put Linux Mint LXDE on eee 701 2g, better systems do not find. All works quite quickly and confidently, no hang-ups, easy installation with the stick (1 GB), live flash, without any problems be put on the card, there is no installation failures (which were in the xubuntu), lack of memory (in ubuntu, etc.), Hardware restrictions are not there (800x480 resolution is not difficult), ubuntu - compatible application manager, hibernation works (but not very fast), all the drivers have been installed, update the system can be safely, all programs run, CPU idle about 1-5% can not be said about the more "advanced" desktop environment or other wasps.
Accordingly, on later models (901 and above), everything can be said to fly.

I’ll go over similar ones:
From official sources

"In his post on the Canonical Blog, Gerry Carr, marketing director of Canonical, said that Netbook Edition branch of the popular distribution Linux Ubuntu for the next release (11.04, Natty Narwhal) will be rolled into osnovnuyu.Prichinoy that at the request of Gerry Carr is the use of in future releases of Ubuntu developed by Canonical shell Unity instead of GNOME shell. В«Unity Inclusion in Ubuntu means that you can use Ubuntu with the same convenience on a laptop, a netbook, on the desktop or on anything you see fit is now last will be able to work on any form factor PC. . Thus the need to maintain a separate branch "Netbook Edition" simply disappears. "On top of the developers change the distributions naming scheme. what used to be calledВ« Ubuntu Desktop Edition В»andВ« Ubuntu Server Edition В»will now be called respectivelyВ« Ubuntu В»andВ« Ubuntu Server В». The final release of Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal is scheduled for April 28, 2011. The current stable rel izom today is version 10.10 В«Maverick MeerkatВ», and the LTS-release - version 10.04.2 LTS В«Lucid LynxВ» ".

Well, about games, it’s not so little on Linux ubuntu, so I wouldn’t say as above that I only say Linux for work, because I have a second axis on the bb there is a catalog of applications and games and you have some choice. As for autonomy, it’s not
I know, but judging by the busy RAM, the battery will be no less than the seventh Windows, the netbook will be just going to buy

I use Windows XP SP3 Game Edition, it keeps 5-6 hours of active use, nothing more, the flight is excellent, in some I play the fps increase is very noticeable (for example, GTA: SA, Mafia, GTA: VC, NFS Hot Pursuit 2, etc. ): lol:

As for productivity and speed, the seven is better.
If you take the operating time, then with XP it seems to run a little longer, but the difference is not so great.

Good day to all. I share their personal experiences. Was looking for a suitable software for the netbook to yuzabilny was. Internet, not a lot of office. Was Distr Win7 Ultimate SP1 Samovar, all very well, but my netbook with standard characteristics (percent 2h1.6 GHz, 1024 MB of RAM, the HDD 320, video card 256 MB + graphics accelerator intel® 3600 Series) pulled her obscenities, the Windows 32-bit , well, I think it's understandable. Discomfort in the visible, but stable. Decided nevertheless to look lighter version of the software, download and install Windows 7 Ultimate Lite for ASUS Eee PC 2.4, H ... with a capital letter, horrible cuts, browser bugs threw, plugins Wesley, some services had to manually run, office (WPI for Win7 for 32-bit) is not approached, and so on, at the expense of performance, not really, it was obvious it was my decision to demolish, then the choice fell on xp, making bootable USB flash drive, first of zvercd assembly, but was unable to copy a few files ( missed) and eventually the blue screen, downloaded another image (the original) and chose a different method for creating a bootable USB drive (tried different bend on the similarity vintuflesh and fromyusb etc.) also could not read the file (but there was nothing, it was treated, the method of another had to try, but not a fact that would work) but, I thought, stamps xp ​​solid and external cd drive to buy I do not really want to install xp course you can, and without tension, if you know a good way, but unfortunately I I do not know him and did not bother (and those to they say yes you are saying the same cancers as easy to argue, images, and equipment are all different, and no one knows how to behave in the system), then I chose Windows 8 (x86) Enterprise v.2.3.13 Full Update by Romeo1994, downloaded and established through Dtools, I will not describe how to not unnecessarily talking about it (but briefly Mount image through a program on a virtual disk, run, set). Resolution 1024x600, metro does not work (as well as the standard bend in the likeness of photo viewing video, listening to music), but I do not have to, the browser Mozilla, player for music Aimp for photo FSViewer, video player windose media, in general, all the works It works quite quickly, much faster than the 7, my conclusion remains at 8, here. Maybe someone will be useful in the selection: happy: Lay out a couple of screenshots)

Can you count to two? : D

It was necessary to begin with this. Replacing the bracket with 2GB solves 99% of the problems described above.
