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 just got this EEE PC as a Christmas present. I've been doing a lot of research for about the past 3 months on these and this is the one that I settled on. I really wanted the 10" screen and thats one reason I chose this over the Acer Aspire One. Another reason that I like this better is because it is incredibly easy to upgrade, unlike the Aspire One, which is nearly impossible and it voids the warranty on the Acer. Some people on here talk about how it is about a half pound or so heavier than almost all other netbooks. That is not an issue for me because it just makes it feel like its a lot sturdier. The mouse buttons are not hard for me to press like some other people have problems with. I think it might be because of the way they are using them. I think that the way they were designed was to be pressed on the sloped part of the button and not directly from the top. I actually find it easier to press on the sloped part with my thumbs. The keyboard is very easy to use. I'm typing this review on it with very little trouble. The battery life is just as everyone says, about 5 hours or so. It runs surprisingly fast and boots up in about 30-45 seconds and thats running AVG (Free) antivirus software. One reason that it boots so quickly is because it doesn't come preloaded with a bunch of useless software. I transferred about 10GB of music and 2GB of photos and another 4GB of video and I still have a ton of room on the hard drive. The EEE PC runs video, music, virus scans, office, and iTunes with ease. I can't wait to get a 2GB memory upgrade for this. Another thing that I really liked was the look of it. I got the black one and I really think it looks sleek and stylish. When I saw the pictures on the internet I wasn't very impressed but now that I see it in person I'm very satisfied with the way it looks. I would definitely recommend this for someone that is going to college, like myself. It is very portable and extremely functional. And it looks good tooGet 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.
