ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel ATOM N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 10 GB E-Storage, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Fine Ebony

I did some comparison between different netbooks before I bought the Eee PC 1000HA. Here are some comments to share:

Pros:

Eee PC 1000HA 10" screen is much better than Acer Aspire One 9" screen and the Eee PC 900 series due to its larger keyboard size. I bought the Acer Aspire One and liked everything but the small keyboard. Hard to use. I had to return it to the store in a couple of days. I feel comfortable typing with the Eee PC 1000HA keyboard (except the shift key, which will be discussed in the cons below.)

I looked at the MSI Wind 10" in Bestbuy and liked everything, including the looking, feel, keyboard, etc. But, the Wind felt so hot at the bottom of the display computer in the store. I did not know the exact reason for the hight heat in the store, but the Eee PC I used at home generates much less heat -very cool.

The battery is longer than other comparatible netbooks.

Cons:

The only thing that I do not like about this Eee PC is the key layout. The right shift key is too small in a bad location. I always type wrongly when I have to use right shift key. I like the MSI Wind keyboard and HP Mini-Note keyboard much better. I hope that Eee PC will improve the keyboard in the future.

Although this Eee PC has the longest batter life among many netbooks, it worths to mention that the Eee PC does not have 7 hours battery life as claimed. If you use Wifi and auto battery save mode, it only lasts 4 to 4.5 hours.

Overall, it is a good buy with the very low price!Get more detail about ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel ATOM N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 10 GB E-Storage, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Fine Ebony.
