Asus Eee PC 1005HA (white)

By (cnet.com)

Sleek, attractive design ; lower price ; amazing battery

Thicker and heavier than the previous model ; still near the upper end of the Netbook price range

Asus hits nearly all the marks in the 1005HA, the latest version of its iconic Eee PC, highlighted by a 6-plus hour battery.

ASUS EEE PC 1005HA

By Darren Gladstone (pcworld.com)

I can sum up the Asus Eee PC 1005HA in one sentence: It's a slightly thicker, slightly cheaper version of the Eee PC 1008HA. Hey, it's only fair. At this point, Asus releases more netbooks than Baskin Robbins has flavors. I won't recap all the ...

Good, refined keyboard ; Solid build quality

Slightly beefier than the previous model

The 1005HA is a compromise. Granted, it's a good one for those that liked the sleek style of the Eee PC 1008HA, but wanted either to see less flash or to spend less cash. That said, you're seeing netbook prices driving down into the $299 range. So ...

Not too shabby--even for a long road trip--but not enough to unseat the...

ASUS Eee PC 1005HA - Review of the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA

By Joanna Stern (laptopmag.com)

Nearly 9 hours of runtime, Attractive chassis, Compelling software, Spacious keyboard

Lid smudges quickly, Somewhat thick for a netbook, Fan can get loud

Above the display, a 1.3-megapixel webcam provided clear images in a Skype video chat. A friend saw little motion blur when we waved quickly and made out details on our face. The speakers, located at the bottom front edge of the system, allowed us to ...

Perfect!

By The Guru (newegg.com)

If your thinking about buying a netbook...STOP! Buy this one and you will not be disappointed!

This netbook does everything a netbook needs to do! The keyboard is comfortable, the screen is crystal clear (and not a glossy LCD), the battery lasts forever, and the sound is surprisingly good! Worth every penny spent! Asus is the best

ASUS has awful customer service

By Sorensen32 (newegg.com)

We had the netbook for a week and quickly discovered the power brick was not working. We called up ASUS and they said they had a real attitude and said they would send us a new one, but we had to pay to ship the bad one back. WE said that was not fair...t...

Product was nice..asus SERVICE WAS AWFUL

Power brick is not reliable. ASUS customer service is awful

Outstanding Netbook

By Natural Mystique (newegg.com)

Shut up and buy it. This is the best deal in town!

This little baby is all you need to clone your home or office PC. Great for syncing and transferring work abroad. The battery system is excellent. I place mine on auto to regulate according to the processing power I need for variable usage. If you love to...

What cons? I did my research over a dozen reviews with various sources and this won hands down. The only cons I know is if you buy anything else other than a Samsung or Acer. If you bought a Mac Air you got taken to the cleaners
