== Asus Eee Netbook 1005HA/HGO == === Introduction === My husband works very long hours on his own- his work is very boring, sitting alone in an office all night long, going on patrols every hour, and so he is always looking for something to do when he is in work, whether it is reading books, playing on his PSP or doing puzzles. Last year I put the internet on his mobile phone so he could use that when in work, but I was starting to get annoyed that everywhere we went he would sit on the internet- I was sitting waiting for hospital appointments which he has come with me to keep me company, and he would instead of talking to me, sit on ...  Read the complete review

After a lot of research I settled on purchasing the Eee PC 1005HA by ASUS with Windows XP last November because it seemed to offer good performance and a low price and claimed to have the longest battery life of any of its rivals. After six months of use I am pretty sure I made the right decision. The computer I bought was the top spec version with the 1.66Ghz N280 processor and the largest battery and it has more than lived up to expectations. Out of the box it was ready to run, it even had some charge. The keyboard took a little adjusting too because of it's size (90% normal scale, but is extremely high quality, much better than other laptops/netbooks I have ...  Read the complete review

I have owned the 1005HA and the 900A now, and i much prefer the 1005HA. this larger eee PC has several advantages over the smaller models. its keyboard is larger, and so it is much easier to type quickly. this may sound like a small issue, but it really makes the difference in writing anything longer than a facebook or msn conversation. on the other hand, i prefer the mouse pad of the 900A, mainly because the 100HA has a single button, which means you can accidentally right and left click at the same time. again this sounds like fussing, but it gets annoying. the 1005HA also has bluetooth, which the 900A lacks completely. the screen is also bigger ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this Netbook about 6 months ago and am really impressed with it - in fact I am currently writing the review on it right now. I used to own an old Toshiba laptop which gave up the ghost 7 months ago and although it ran beautifully it was large, clunky & a pain in the behind to take out and about. The Asus 100HA Netbook is fantastic and has wireless internet capability, a camera and comes in a range of lovely colours although I went for Glossy Black. I went for the netbook that had XP as it's operating system as I am old fashioned and still cannot get to grips with Windows 7 or Vista - I'll catch up with the rest of you some day. I use this ...  Read the complete review
