 Not my cup of tea November 18, 2008
I sold my Asus Eee PC 1000ha after using it extensively for around 10 days. Overall, this is a machine with great potential and this is also a machine with fatal flaws that are intolerable to me.
Pros
1. The keyboard is roomy, the alphabetic keys, the enter key and backspace key are big enough for touch typing. (some reviewers said they didn't like the right shift key, but luckily it's not a big problem for me, cause I only use the left shift key when I touch type)
2. Good performance-price ratio (Intel Atom, 1GB Ram, 160GB hard drive, 1.3M webcam, 6-cell battery make it a compelling buy for the current price tag)
Cons (things that make me not keeping this machine)
1. The left and right mouse buttons are way **too stiff to press**. No kidding, this eee pc has the worst left and right mouse buttons I have ever met in my life. You need to press REALLY HARD for a single click, it's even HARDER for a double click, it's almost impossible for me to complete tasks such as drag and drop by using these mouse buttons. My index finger became extremely painful after using the touch pad and mouse buttons for more than 15 minutes.
2. Before I bought this machine, I was expecting a relatively slow (when compared with C2D processors nowadays) but quite machine. After using it for 10 days, I found the speed is not a big problem for me, however, I didn't like the fact that this machine was as noisy as those cheap $4xx laptops. The fan keeps running when the room temperature is around 80 F.
Update: I bought a Dell Mini 9 after selling this Eee PC 1000ha. The Dell mini 9 uses a no-fan passive cooling design and there is no noise at all when the computer is running. The Mini 9 keyboard is not as roomy as Eee PC's, but the mouse buttons are at least as good as those in regular notebooks (please allow me to repeat again - the left and right buttons in eee pc 1000ha are abysmal)
 Awesome November 17, 2008
Awesome, Have enjoyed this EEE PC for three weeks now.
I only gave it 4 stars because Amazon didn't note that this unit didn't include BlueTooth. The description was EXACTLY the same for a unit priced $50 more, I later found out that the more expensive model did have BlueTooth, but could not exchange the unit.
Asus eee PC 1000HA five stars!
Amazon three stars :(
 Another thumbs up for the 10 inch Asus eee November 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I won't go into too much detail in my comments, as other reviewers have generously taken the time to provide a lot of specifics. I will confirm all the other positive reactions to this excellent machine. The build quality, design, performance and value of this netbook are at the top of the scale. It amazes me that it's possible to purchase a computer of these capabilities at a price that only a few years ago got you a little handheld pda. If you're in the market for one of these, here are a couple of additional comments to aid in your decision-making.
Size: I had the chance to see an Asus 1000 beside a 900 at a local Best Buy. In my opinion, the 9 inch version was just too small; it was surprising how much larger the screen seemed on the 10-inch version. This ruled out machines like the Dell Mini for me. This Asus 1000HA, while it is small, is still large enough for nice all purpose usage, while still being incredibly portable.
Battery: I can confirm the general reports of 4-5 hours of battery life, depending on what you do with it. Netbooks like this one that use a 6-cell battery seem to have a distinct advantage over those that don't.
Color: I got the white one. It really hardly shows fingerprints at all; the black one quickly looks very smudged.
Quibbles: The touch screen is fantastic, with many cool features. However, the two finger scrolling doesn't work smoothly with Firefox unless you turn off the keyboard lock-out feature (which locks out the touchpad while you're typing). With that turned off, you have to really be careful not to touch the pad while you type or the cursor jumps all over the place. I'm hoping that Asus eventually provides a driver update to address this.
Heat: the bottom of the unit gets warm sometimes, but not so much that I'd consider it a deciding factor in a purchase decision.
Wireless range: Some users have reported concerns about the wireless range of this unit. I'm using this in a first floor room, and my wireless router is on the second floor at the opposite end of the house, and I've had perfect connections all the time. No issues here.
I'm very happy with this computer. If this type of laptop is attractive to you, I think you would be too.
It's What You Expect November 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Overview: It's a lightweight, ultra-portable netbook with a commendable battery life for a 6 cell. It comes with the basics pre-installed (word processor, a DVD program [a touch ironic since you probably don't have an external disc drive yet], and some eee PC specific keyboard functions). XP is XP. You know what you are going to get with that.
Pros: It gets all of your day-to-day activities done. The processor isn't a powerhouse, but it is fine for word processing, browsing the internet, and watching movies. The software overclock is nice because it allows for variable battery drain (roughly 17% swing if I remember correctly) depending on your needs and distance from civilization. For the brave, dual booting with a Ubuntu (linux) is very easy to do with a couple hours of free time. The AC adapter is also very compact and travels nicely with the eee PC as well. It has a reasonably well-built webcam integrated into the laptop (with respect to many newer notebook/netbook standards). It's not the greatest, but remember what you are paying for this little beast. The microphone is rather impressive though. It is an array-style microphone built into the base of the screen that does a very good job of catching your voice without much distortion prone to other microphones. The fact that there is no disc drive is a plus in my opinion. Get yourself a nice jump drive (8 Gig. is pretty cheap now) and use that. It reduces the netbook's weight immensely, and externals are available if you don't know how to network with your other home PC. Lastly, the touchpad has some very helpful functions built in. It has 1, 2, and 3 finger functionality that helps with some basic computing tasks. I was very impressed with this feature.
Cons: This should not be bought in lieu of a home or base computer if you do not own an external disc drive. If you have a home system, you can access the other computer's disc drive over a network and won't need an external disc drive (Note: I would recommend buying an external for watching movies). It is true that the shift key is a little awkward at first. You do get used to it though - don't let this scare you. You will not be playing the latest and greatest video game spectacles on this thing. I tried Warcraft III just for kicks, and I was greeted with a blue screen after 5 minutes. Remember, this netbook is designed for the traveling professional or student that wants ultra-portability. The battery life isn't really 7 hours either. Expect about 5 hours of reasonable battery use. The only time you will get 7 actual hours of use is if you have the wireless card and screen turned off and you are listening to iTunes. Lastly, the wireless card drivers don't seem to be too hardy in the latest Ubuntu distribution. I imagine this will be fixed, but be prepared for it to be a bit finicky. If you don't play with Linux though, don't worry about the last one.
Conclusion: This system does a great job at doing what it was made to do. You won't be disappointed, and you won't be regretting your purchase if you need something that can be taken anywhere with little hassle. I purchased this for my trip to Europe (not expecting to be connected to a jack that often), and I cannot recommend this netbook enough.
Almost Perfect November 13, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Overall, I love my new netbook. The 10" screen size is perfect,not too small. I can easily slip it into my purse, and 3.3lbs is light enough, the shiny black exterior is beautiful but can show smudges easily. Booting up is surprisingly fast as is general processing; I am not super tech-savvy, and used it right out of the box, without manipulating anything to increase performance. The keyboard feels almost full size to me, but I have smaller hands, so typing is no problem.
Some minor anoyances do exist, however: The right "shift" button is farther right on the keyboard than usual. In its usual place is the "up arrow" so there has been some mishaps when I type fast. The other issue is the netbook doesn't connect up to the internet through my Linksys wireless router without my rebooting the router. This doesn't happen everytime, but happens when the router is rebooted when the netbook is not on (as when the power goes off) .
I would highly recommend this netbook for its price-for-performance, and super portability.
