Rating:  - Best notebook I ever had.I had previously owned a 15 inch $1099 Win XP Dell Inspiron laptop; a 12 inch $999 Vista Dell XPS laptop and a 15 inch $599 Win XP Compaq laptop. I was disappointed with these expensive laptops but I am extremely pleased with the 10 inch Asus eeepc 1000 HA which I only paid $389! It is just the right size and weight and the battery life is 4 to 5 hours which is at least 2 hours longer than my expensive laptops. I thought not having a DVD drive would be a handicap but I found a $39 "DVD cloner 6" software program can easily convert and de-crypt a DVD movie disc into a watchable 4 gig movie file using my desktop PC. With jump drives approaching 32 gig, I can have 8 movie files during a trip or I can simply load the movies on my 160 gig hard drive. I used an old HP external CD drive to load windows XP programs like Ghost and Partition magic. I will never use Windows Vista again since the bootup and shutdown time on my Asus eeepc is very fast by comparison. The 10 inch screen is bright and detailed. Watching a DVD movie is a pleasure and the smaller screen guarantees you won't run out of battery life. Opening the large bottom cover plate also provide complete access to the RAM memory and the 160 gig hard drive. This means the Asus eeepc 1000HA is easily upgradable which you can't say the same for the other netbooks. The weaknesses of a difficult right shift key and touch pad button are true...but these are minor weaknesses that I can accept given all of the advantage of upgradability, price, weight, and quality. A good wireless mouse solves the weaknesses with the touch pad button. Please note that I have built three desktops computers with Asus motherboards and I never had any problems with them. Asus invented this class of netbooks and they are much better than similar netbooks from HP, Dell and Acer. The Asus eeepc 1000HA is a highly recommended product. Rating: - Mini Notebook... Mini Price... Huge ConvenienceI bought my ASUS EEE pc about a week ago to replace a laptop that had some liquor spilled on it (I know...) and have yet to find anything to dislike. It is important to point out the buttons are easily pressed around the outside of the laptop. It doesn't come with a CD drive but I bought 24x USB External Slim CD-ROM Drive (Black) for a cheap drive to install Microsoft Office and run additional CD's that come along with my college textbooks. The drive plugs into one of the 3 USB ports and gets the job done. This notebook is perfect for students, such as myself, for easy transport to and from class. The SD slot is convenient for extra storage and for importing pictures. I don't believe the processing power is high enough to run online games like WoW or anything like that, but like I said... for kids and students, it's perfect for word processing, e-mail, MySpace, flash games... I have no complaints and so glad I bought this product! Rating:  - Not as expectedI honestly think this is a great product, but the one I received was defective. The LCD screen had vertical lines where the pixels have gone bad. Also it may have been a used machine, because when I tryed to register it with Asus they returned that the serial # had already been registered. The return and refund process was satisfactory and without hitch. I am ordering another one to see if I have better luck. Rating: - My New Eee PC experienceThis has been a nice little puter and I'm glad I bought it. It's for travel and going to hot spots over lunch, etc. Because of the small screen (which really isn't a problem) I removed most menus from IE which removed the convenient Back button. It's been no problem because I programmed the touch pad to to internet back when I tap three fingers. The other features of the touch pad (like two finger scrolling) are also really nice. The L and R click buttons are a little stiff and hard to push but with the programable touchpad you hardly need to push either one. Warning: If you are a serious typer (like a student needing to type a paper, etc.)I would think of buying a regular laptop or another 10 inch machine like a Samsung NC10 with a 6 cell battery and FULL size Right shift key. I've kinda got used to it but it drives my wife crazy. The small shift key is the ONLY problem I have with the machine. Unless you have real fat fingers, the keyboard is otherwise OK for typing. The battery lasts quite a long time. I typically get 5 hours with the screen turned down slightly and the settings on low power. The sound from the speakers is rather soft even a full volume but I use headphones anyway. Amazon shipped real fast and is a great seller. I could have got the machine a few dollars cheaper from another less famous retailer but chose Amazon due to their reliability and support. Rating: - Excelent tiny computerThis little thing is almost perfect. Very good processor (fast and energy efficient), battery life is about 5 hours! Good bright 10 in. screen, hard drive size is very good for an ultra portable, 1GB is enough for Win XP but consider upgrading to 2GB depending on what you'll be running. Camera works great for video chat, keybord has a pretty good size, much better than the Asus 701 / 901 family, sound is ok for its size. Internal WiFi detects networks so far away which my dell notebook does not. I had one problem with mine: First boot caused a memory dump when Windows was starting and then I couldn't restart it. I had to reinstall Windows (not so easy as it does not have an optical drive) and now it runs flawlessly. An external dvd rom drive may be very useful. I recommend it.
