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 is my first review after several years of using amazon...but this was the first product that moved me enough to write a review.
I was skeptical when I purchased the Asus EEE 1000HA. First I was unsure whether a netbook would fulfill my computing needs (heavy multi-tasking on internet (firefox), word, excel, powerpoint, and a music player for fun during painful data analysis). But, I do a lot of walking on campus carrying books and paperwork so I wanted something I could just throw into my backpack. Second there were so many similar netbooks, each with their own unique downfalls. I was looking at the acer aspire one, Lenovo s10, asus 904HA, asus 1000HA (and 1000HD), and hp mini 1000, and msi wind.
After doing some reading about each model I decided I wanted the 10 inch screen (I also saw an aspire one with a 9 inch screen and it was a tad too small). After going over the specs (almost the same for all) reviews, and support sites (it is important to read about common problems users are having with any electronics you are planning on buying) for each model, I decided that the 1000HA provided the best bang for the buck almost exclusively due to the ease of memory expansion.
So was it a good choice? Absolutely. I am not sure if it is better than the others, but I am very very happy.
First off...it is unwise to throw this computer (or any other) into your backpack. By no means does this computer feel delicate...but I quickly forged a strong bond with it and would hate if anything happened. When I walk around simply carry it in the soft case that comes with the computer it weighs very little so it is no inconvenience.
Also, because of the fantastic battery life no power cords are needed so that saves room in the backpack. With intense multi-tasking (multiple word and excel sheets, firefox 3 with several tabs open at once, music playing, and several background programs) I easily get over 5 hours of battery life which is, in actuality, far more than you would imagine.
Pros: almost no heat, easy to upgrade ram, great power saving functions
Cons: trackpad is annoying sometimes (I use a usb travel mouse most of the time though)
Note: don't expect duel core speeds, you have to enable the webcam before you can use it using the EEEpc tray utility.
