cute, but…
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this for portable wi-fi and it does work for this. But, I’m a novice in wi-fi so I am disappointed in its limited range. On my house wireless network it is ok in the room below, but out of range in the front of the house maybe 40 feet away. I bought an extender antenna for it which was very difficult to install for lack of “dummy” instructions (assumed I knew a whole lot more than I did). It would allow the netbook to pick up my wireless signal in the front of the house, but speed is so slow that I can’t use it for video.
I was also surprised at getting system error messages early on when I hadn’t done anything to disrupt the default system. And ASUS tech support must come from Taiwan- stilted language and poor spelling/grammar that makes it hard to understand their FAQs and such. There is a very active ASUS Forum on the Internet, but I’m not sure you can trust the advice there in all cases.
Last, maybe I expected too much, but booting is very slow. I may try the extra gig of memory to see what effect that has.
On the plus side- Amazon ordering was a snap and I got it very quickly even with the free delivery. And the price was better than anything else I could find.
I still think it’s an excelent option

After a long review finally I found this one was the one (good specs and also good price), and despite U.S.P.S. -United States Postal Service- incompetence (they coudn’t find the shipping address and returned the box to Amazon), I still think it is an excelent choice. Go ahed! Excelent choice!!!
ASUS Eee PC 10.1 inch Netbook

I really enjoy my new netbook! It stays with me at work and at home (we have Wi-Fi at both places). I currently use it for tracking my diet and exercise, building my Ning social network, and playing games.
This is a must have item.

I only wish I’d bought my Asus sooner. I’m so in love with this netbook. The portability, 10.1 inch screen, convenience and light weight. It is performing well and even got some added features not originally stated. Decided to purchase skin so I would not have to fuss with the fingerprint issue on the case, etc. All professional reviews score this 1005HA high. That and some word of mouth among friends convinced me to buy this and I highly recommend to anyone who needs to stay on top of emails and still want to have some fun with games. I’m doing fine with a 4/5 hour battery runtime. I don’t see myself ever needing more than that. This recharges quickly. My unit stays cool and as much as I love my larger laptop for home use I absolutely love when I switch over to the Asus because I don’t have all the extra weight of a padded lap tray and fan system.
Asus 1005HA-4.5 hr battery
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Most people should get the 8.5 hr battery version. I didn’t. Why?
Price – Limit of $300 MAX. This was $291 when I bought it with shipping.
Size – there are larger 11.6″ versions, but with a slower CPU and heavier. The 10.2″ was enough for me.
Weight – better netbooks are heavier and more expensive.
For me, a netbook means compromise. It’s what you should be aware of going in. It will not completely replace your existing laptop (or desktop). But its handy to have and if its light/small enough, you’ll take it with you everywhere.
I looked at the Acer and their 10.2″ netbooks had smaller keyboards. The Asus keyboard is pretty easy to get used to. I blog on it all the time on the train to work. The touch pad will sometimes annoyingly move your cursor and you end up typing a paragraph up in the middle of another sentence.
Three USB ports – I use them rarely with an external mouse or for a USB drive. I’ve never filled all three yet.
Volume setting – at first it wasn’t loud enough to hear a movie on the train. Max out the windows volume. Then increase all those mixer settings (Asus sound settings, not the Windows ones).
Fast enough for Picasa – the SD card reader is awesome. Great for photo shoots rather than relying on the LCD screen at the back. Also replaces those backup photo hard drives the pros used to carry around.
For me, this was perfect. I’m completely satisfied with what I bought.
Not bad compare to the eee pc 1000ha
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Not bad at all, specially with the price 284.99, fast shipping. the 1005ha is slick lighter than the 1000.
Product power port is weak compare to the eee pc 1000ha/he, it often lose contact from the power adapter tip to power port!
Asus 1005-ha 4 hour battery is great!

I purchased this netbook approximately 3 weeks ago. I absolutely love it. The keyboard is big enough for your hands and the screen is bright and allows you to see all the work you are doing. I must admit, I usually use it to browse the web, check email, write in word and so on. So it is just perfect for what I do. I also like to work with the photographs I take but as of yet I haven’t put a program on here to do that. I purchased the extra RAM and may I say that is a MUST buy. Just let me say buyer beware if you are buying it for another netbook….be sure to check the type of RAM your netbook uses.
We have a desktop and a laptop but I wanted something I could take with me on trips, in the car, just about anywhere. This netbook fits neatly into my purse and will be welcome to such boring long trips out of town. If you are thinking about a netbook research but this one is a great one….and you can expand the RAM to put more stuff on it. I even have a MMORPG on here and it runs fine. Hoping to put another one on it soon.
I would highly suggest this netbook..
Asus is the best, but order the upgraded ver of the 1005ha
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
All in all, the 10005ha is probably the best all around netbook you can buy. While the toshiba and the samsung have better keyboards, and the toshiba has a better mouse…the samsungs speakers are much improved…each oft hose has major flaws (toshibas battery sticks out of the case and their speaker is on the BOTTOM…Samsung used a glossy screen that reflects direct light and becomes unwatchable unless shaded! Plus its a 270 prcoessor not a 280, and no BT).
If you want the biggest and baddest power netbook out there, the asus is it.
Just not THIS one. There are various flavors, all called 1005HA. You really WANT the bigger one. You get BluteTooth, you get a 10.5 hour battery instead of this measly 3 cell 4 hour thing, and you also get a real camera (1.3mp, good enough for skype chatting at decent level…the 0.3 that this stripped down model comes with I wouldnt OWN! Thats designed output resolution size smaller than a PDA screen!!! Cellphones have better cameras!)
Yes, I strongly recommend the asus…they make a good machine. Anything with an N270 or 280 really isnt half bad. Unfortunately newer netbookz will all start getting the cheaper slower Z processors…thank you for that INTEL….so if you are planning to do MORE Than email or chat…wanna run some programs…or god forbid MULTITASK, the newer 12 inch netbooks will all be SLOWER! The few already available all have Z processors, and all the future ones are scheduled to. Its a chip thing. Plus the N’s like the 1005ha are ridiculously power efficient…hence the longer battery lyfe.
But a 1005 (or a 1008, less battery, but prettier with covered side ports…if that matters to you)
You cant go wrong with a toshiba either. I liked mine, the keyboard was great, so was the mousepad…samsung also…but you try all 3, and you realizee mostly identical after practice….but the asus has better performance in all the unfelt but measurables. longer battery, beter performance (slightly) bluetooth, Wireless N, its the one. At least for the moment.
