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 love this little thing! Actually, it's not that little, after all, since it has the 10" screen, which is easy to work with. I could see myself using this netbook as a primary computer quite easily. It does everything I wanted it to do, and it's great fun to play with.

My system came with Windows XP, which I like -- even though I'm really a Mac person. I thought I'd have trouble adjusting to Windows, but that's not been a problem at all.

For the most part, I get at least 5 hours of battery life, despite the sticker near the trackpad that claims 7 hours of battery life. I'm sure that if I were to change some of the settings, I could get that, but 5 hours is plenty of time when running on the battery.

I did quite a bit of research before I decided upon the Asus Eee PC 1000 HA, and I'm perfectly happy with my decision. Ideally, though, I would have wanted a Mac netbook, but since those do not exist I am happy to have found this little computer, which suits my needs. I even like the idea of having a Mac as well as a PC.

The netbook is really fast, too, even though I've just kept the standard 1gb RAM that came with the system. I've thought about upgrading RAM, but I don't see the need for it. I guess that if it ever starts to slow down, then I may consider a RAM upgrade.

I downloaded OpenOffice for an office suite, and I'm very pleased with it. Now and then, though, I do use the MS Works suite that came installed. If I feel the need to upgrade to MS Office, then I think I'll need to find a CD/DVD drive for the install -- but I'm not worried about that yet.

Overall, I am thrilled with this netbook, and I recommend it without any reservations.

*The only thing that I changed was the awkward right shift key, using Key Tweak (a free program download). It was easy to configure the keyboard to use the up arrow key to serve as the right shift key, allowing me to touch type easily. BTW, the keyboard size is fine for touch typing.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.
