    5 out of 5 stars Impressed.   March 9, 2010
    Digital
    Think it's harder to find a list of things I DON'T like about this netbook. The only, and I mean ONLY 2 things, which I haven't liked were as follows:

    1: Windows 7 Starter won't let me change the background
    -Easily corrected with a google search and a work-around, 5 minutes tops.

    2: After going into hibernate mode (think that's what it's called), won't wake up correctly.
    -This hasn't been much of an issue to be honest. If it were more annoying I'd look into it.

    ...That's it. Everything else about this netbook is great! I didn't expect to get attached to it, and I find myself taking it everywhere. So damn handy to have with me. Been driving around town a few times, gotten lost finding somewhere, and simply pulled into a McD's parking lot to use their wifi so I could get to googlemaps.

    The battery life is great, I've never managed to come close to draining it by accident (6 hours of classes for notes and internet + messing around after classes). Recharge is fast, but the box on the cord does get a little warm during recharge. Not enough to scare me, more then enough to be noticeable. Normal temp when it's maintaining charge.

    This is (of course) not a gaming rig. I was however able to throw a few pop-cap games (peggle/bookworm) on it easily, and good old "Alpha Centari" on it without much trouble (at least not more trouble then I would have expected).

    Built in webcam and microphone both work exactly how you'd expect them to. Wifi does what it's meant to (this little guy loves to sniff out wifi spots).

    Anyway, that's my review. I love this netbook, and I'd recommend it to anyone. As long as you are aware of what you're buying, meaning a netbook and not a desktop, you'll be happy with this little guy. So many of the bad reviews on here seem to be people who didn't understand what a netbook really is.



    5 out of 5 stars Money's worth, does everything it's supposed to.   March 7, 2010
    Ishan Saha (New Jersey, USA)
    Extraordinary battery life - so far the best in it's category. Crisp, clear display, fast bootup and shutdown, almost full-size KDB, great touch-pad, modest webcam, generous storage and wonderful connectivity through wireless N and BlueTooth. The only upgrade needed is 2GB memory. Note: This netbook has only one memory slot, so buy a 2GB DDR2 SO-DIMM PC5400 200 PIN memory and replace the factory 1GB with this 2GB. And do yourself a favor - install anti-virus software and take daily backups.


    5 out of 5 stars Asus Eee PC 1005HA-PU17 Black 10.1 inch Netbook   March 5, 2010
    VinneyD (Virginia)
    Excellent product!!!!!! The battery life is astonishing as I actually had it operating and unplugged for approx 11 hours without so much as a squawk. Real light weight and portable. Have had no issues what so ever. We love it.


    5 out of 5 stars Excellent second computer   March 3, 2010
    Gary (Reston, VA)
    I have owned the Blue version of this computer for three months and am very happy with it. It is very compact, very light and very portable and I use it around the house as well as for travel. It feels very well built. I cannot testify to a 10 hour battery, but I suspect the actual usage is close. The recharge time is very fast. I would not use it for regular writing, however, since I find the keyboard and screen a little small for prolonged use. As a second computer, however, it is great! I explored most of its competitors and found nothing I liked as well.

    Only annoying downsides:

    It is programed to open with Windows Live, whether you want it or not. I still have not found a way to turn it off. Very annoying.

    I use the Google browser, but may change to Windows Explorer and Outlook. Google's ads take too much room on the small screen. (The screen, however, is very bright in all conditions and esy to read.)

    Response to others' comments:

    Mine arrived with no problems. Yes the case shows fingerprints, but it still looks fine.

    Buying tips: Amazon's service was great. I did not buy the extra memory and so far have not missed it. It comes with its own case, but it is light and has no pockets. I bought another as an accessory and prefer it. I have found that I need an external drive to install older programs or those that cannot be downloaded from the web. For 50 dollars I have just ordered one.




    5 out of 5 stars Great Netbook   March 3, 2010
    Arthur Cordaro (West Islip, NY United States)
    This is my second EEE from Asus, I am giving my first to my grandson for his birthday in March, he used the netbook while visiting in January and played with his cousin who got a Netbook for Xmas, he did not know I was testing to see if he would like one, well he loved it and will be so surprised. I liked the fact that this netbook has bluetooth. I use my Lubix bluetooth headset with it.
