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've owned this netbook for about a month now and finally have enough experience for a good review.

Simply put: this is an amazing machine.

The hardware is rock solid. The Intel Atom processor is a dream on this type of machine. Startup and shutdown happen faster than any computer I've owned. The screen is very nice, its much more clear than my Dell laptop. The battery lasts forever and charges quickly. The touch-pad is also great but I am a bit hesitant on the mouse buttons...they feel a little too mechanical. However, they also feel solid so I don't worry about them going bust in a year.

The keyboard is the only component that could be considered a negative but keep in mind that ALL netbook keyboards will be like this. Asus says its 90% the size of a regular keyboard and that's just small enough to be slightly annoying. I find myself "hunting and pecking" to type on the EeePC, I just can't put my fingers in the "home position". However, I'm a large man so my fingers and hands are probably much bigger than the average person. Just keep in mind that netbooks weren't meant to write a novel or research report on and you'll be fine.

I honestly have no complaints. This netbook has done everything I've wanted it to do and then some. It is a solid performing, well built machine.

Tip: the difference between this model and the 1000H is that the HA is missing bluetooth and the 'N' standard of wifi. Personally, I don't regret not getting these things at all, though I can see the benefit of bluetooth for some.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.
