ASUS EEE PC 1005HA

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 versions...

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 take...

Asus Eee PC 1005HA review: Asus Eee PC 1005HA

Asus Eee PC 1005HA

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-hour-plus battery life.

Review Asus Eee PC 1005HA-M Netbook

Little Giant Nomad? Asus has a 10.1 inch size notebook in its ran

Good operating performance; Chic design; Good display; Low surface temperatures; Long battery life; Low system noise in battery mode

Fairly loud system noise under load in mains; CPU heats up fast; Poor loudspeakers

Other 10 inched netbooks with an Intel N270/280, 160 GBytes and one GByte RAM, such as the Ideapad S10/S12 from Lenovo or the Aspire One D150/D250/531 from Acer.

Review Asus Eee PC 1005HA-M (Win7) Netbook

No power socket? No problem! Following the launch of Windows 7 on

Smart, elegant design; Good working speed; Robust case; Generously sized keyboard; Matt screen; Long battery life; Low power consumption

No HDMI port or multi-format card reader; Lid hinges do not seem robust; Mediocre viewing angles; Poor sound quality

Various 10 inch notebooks with Intel N270/280 processors, 160 GB hard drives and 1 GB of RAM, such as the Lenovo Ideapad S10/S12 or the Acer Aspire One D150/D250/531.

ASUS Eee PC 1005HA Review

It's easy to get confused by all the variety of netbooks on the market today. These low-cost ultraportable laptops generally have very similar features and many even look virtually identical. That said, it's never easy to overlook the latest Eee PC...

Nice build quality ; Excellent battery life ; Good port layout ... for a netbook

Thick for a modern netbook ; Still uses weak integrated graphics ; Bad touchpad buttons

I'd still like to see a higher resolution screen, different graphics solution, and better touchpad buttons in this netbook, but overall there are plenty of reasons to like the latest Eee PC. If you're in the market for a $400 netbook then this is worth...

Asus Eee PC Netbook 1005HAB-RBLU001X

Although there are several netbooks on the market with over 9 hours battery life, it is difficult to find one for less than the price of a budget laptop. With all the features of a standard netbook (plus more, like wireless-N) and a battery life of...

Asus Eee PC 1005HA review - Liliputing

The Asus Eee PC 1005HA netbook features an excellent balance of size and battery life. At a glance, the netbook looks virtually identical to the Eee PC 1008HA, but it's both thicker and heavier. The added depth gives the 1005HA room for a full sized...

The Asus Eee PC 1005HA isn’t the thinnest or lightest netbook around. But it is has a few features you won’t find on the ultrathin Eee PC 1008HA, including a removable battery and full sized VGA port. I’m also glad to be rid of the bright blue LED in...

Asus Eee PC 1005HA – probably the best 10″ netbook on the market

Asus 1005HA review summary This one is the most popular 10 inch netbook on the market right now. That's because it's an Asus EEE PC and offers all the things you would like from such a device: nice ...

Very good looking with its glossy finishing ; 10 inch display and 1024 x 600 px ; decent hardware (different options available): N270/N280 CPU, 1Gb of RAM, 160 GB hard-drive ; ergonomic keyboard ; the 6 cell battery up to 9 hours tested autonomy (10.5...

directional keys are tiny and you’ll find them hard to use at first ; screen is ultra glossy so it's difficult to use it in strong light conditions
