The Asus Eee PC 1005HA isn’t the thinnest or lightest netbook around. But it is has a few features you won’t find on the ultrathin Eee PC 1008HA, including a removable battery and full sized VGA port. I’m also glad to be rid of the bright blue LED in the back of the Eee PC 1008HA, which was a...

I've only had this machine for a few days now. I had previously owned a 1000heb (the best buy version of the 1000HE which swaps the 6 cell battery for a 3 cell, nixes the bluetooth and runs on the n70 atom processor as opposed to the n80). The lack of bluetooth proved unworthy of ownership...

I received mine today after ordering it on Monday with slight hesitation. But, I was willing to drop the $349 Amazon (through J&R) was going to charge me for this top of the line 1005HA-P with 10.5 hrs of battery and a 1.66 Ghz, with 802.11n Wi-Fi (and b/g) and a camera, and a SIM card slot, and...

I'll get this out of the way right now - I own the pink version, and that was not a small factor in my finding this machine. However, I do not choose gadgets on appearance alone, although I'm probably more picky on that front than the average gadget lover. I'll also caveat this...

This is possibly the best netbook out there. I did fair amount of research at the time I purchased it in August 2009 and found nothing better. It originally came with Windows XP and exceeded it's advertised 10.5 hour battery. I installed Ubuntu and Windows 7 and it still runs over 9 hours...

Great for what it is. The battery life was pretty amazing for a windows 7 laptop. However, even after upgrading the RAM, its performance was just way below what I could tolerate. I was desperate enough to play some 6 fps World of Warcraft, Portal, and Half Life 1 and 2. Great portability, just...

I have been using this little netbook everyday since I got it. I only charge it at night and have all day use with the battery life. I put Windows 7 on it and enjoy it even more. Light weight and easy to carry. Does everything I need it too. BUT I do not like the glossy look because it always...

Great little netbook with standard features and good battery life. Don't expect performance to match laptop or desktop level. Great portable computer for school or travel. Runs Windows 7 smoothly even with Aero enabled.
