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

This replaced my dead Dell Inspiron 8200, P4 2Ghz single core which weighed over 11 lbs. What a difference! Easy to carry around and use.

Pros: High quality build, bright screen 10", strong wireless, fast and large 160Gb 5400rpm hard disk, 1Gb memory is plenty for Internet and regular Apps, runs Office 2003 great, can run PowerDVD and play dvd files without DVD drive, 3 USB 2.0 ports, easy to use touch-pad and the right/left clicks, SD memory card reader, loud speakers, Skype plus nice 1.3Mp webcam and easy to change out memory and hard disk for service or upgrades.

Cons: Keyboard right-shift key too small and I always hit the up arrow key next to it, 6 cell battery not as strong but I'm running wireless 100% of the time. Glad I didn't get the 3 cell battery.

Overall, better netbook than the Acer Aspire One in upgradeability on memory, hard disk, bigger screen. Cheaper and more features than Lenovo S10, HP, Dell netbooks. Get a real hardisk over 120Gb than buying one with the smallish 4Gb,8Gb,16Gb solid state drives. That way you can save and watch movie and Mp3 files on your netbook, I do. Also, if you don't have an external cd/dvd drive than create ISO files of your cds and load them up with virtual clonecd drive software, its a freeware. Works great after owning my Asus EeePC 1000HA for the last 3 weeks. Has one year warranty also.
