 some drawbacks, but great for the money May 31, 2009

I ordered my 1000HA with chiclet keyboard about a week and a half ago, and I couldn't be happier so far. Though I was surprised to see just how small 10 inches actually is (I can't even imagine having a 7-inch screen!), the screen size is comfortable for me and I'm able to cut down on my scrolling using the zoom-out feature on the touchpad--though I can see this being a problem if you're farsighted. I also haven't noticed the keyboard as being "flimsy," as some other reviewers mentioned, and even with the smaller keyboard I'm still able to type with what seems like the same accuracy. I tested out the built-in microphone and webcam with two friends in other countries, and both said they were able to see and hear me better than with my previous USB model. The speakers are average but crisp--I wouldn't recommend trying to use this thing to fill a room with sound, but if it's just you sitting with it on your lap you should be fine.
As for the drawbacks, they're pretty limited but still worth mentioning. The click buttons, like previous reviewers have noted, are a little difficult to use at times. When you approach them from the front they move easily, but I still find myself trying to click from the top (like my last computer) and I have to stop and think about what I'm doing wrong. Additionally, programs seem a little slower to load if you're used to a high-powered desktop replacement, and don't even bother trying HQ video because it will be too choppy--though "regular" video is fine, and I can run Hulu, network program sites, Youtube, and my Slingbox on this model. Again, keep in mind that these things will probably slow down if you try to run something else that's heavy-duty in the middle, though.
In conclusion, I love my new eeePC. I did a lot of research before buying this model, and I'm happy that I found this sleek little netbook to replace my dying (and huge) laptop. I plan to upgrade the RAM to 2GB soon, but it has been running well even without it so far. At this price, how can you go wrong!
The perfect fit for my job. June 1, 2009

I purchased the Asus Eee 1000HA last month for the sole purpose of downloading files from my camera when I'm in the field. Many times the client wants to see the subject matter on a larger scale as opposed to looking at the back of the camera. The Asus is a perfect fit for my job. It's small and light weight. I was never a big fan of the Windows operating system. I was always a Mac user since the technology went from film to digital. My first preference was a macbook but the price tag was too high as compared to the new line of Asus netbooks on the market. Battery life, for the Asus, is about 5 hours on a full charge when the internet is not in use and depending how many programs you have running. The built in Wi Fi is a great feature when on the road and hooking up to local area hotspots,. The size takes a little getting used to as did the switch from Mac to PC. It was well worth the price. To this day I have not had one problem with the computer. It does everything as advertised. The operating manual states the battery life will give you a 7 hour charge but I find it closer to 4-5 hours. It's still a great machine. The 160 GB hard drive allows me to download hundreds of large size files.
Do yourself a favor when shopping for a netbook, give the Asus series of Netbooks a good looking over.

I bought this for using as a DJ computer, works great with virtual dj.
even youtube works perfect, vimeo works in HD mode with like 20 per second frame rate or something.
Pros:
-looks great, works fast.
-easy upgradeable (2gb memory and harddrive.)
-stays 4-5 hours without the ac plug
-nice screen
-good price
-nice keyboard
-nice touch pad, I like the two finger scrolling, 3 finger right click.
cons:
-keyboard is shaking when you push buttons on left top corner, maybe I got the defective one but I am not going to return it for this error.
-speakers are too quite, internal sound card is not so great, if you want to use it as a music player get a 25 dollars usb sound card.
-a little heavy, but lighter then all the other laptops I even seen, even vaio z1
Asus 1000ha vs Asus 1000he July 1, 2009

I have the Asus 1000he myself and love it. The Asus 1000he was sold out at our local store for the father's day sale and so we got the Asus 1000ha instead.
The screen, camera, touchpad mouse, ports and overall size are exactly the same.
The differences are:
Finish: 1000ha Matte, 1000he Glossy
Processor: 1000ha n270, 1000he n280
Bluetooth: 1000ha No, 1000he Yes
Wireless:1000ha b/g, 1000he n
Battery Life: 1000ha 7-hrs, 1000he 9.5-hrs
Keyboard: key-style and scroll-key layout slightly different.
The most immediate difference is that the matte finish of the ha is not as much of a fingerprint magnet as the he's glossy finish and the layout of the Page UP/DOWN scroll keys on the lower right hand corner. I prefer the traditional upside down "T" shape of the he's rather than the modified version of the ha's. I found that I had to relearn where the scroll buttons were on the ha while the he was pretty much the same as a regular keyboard. The he also has a chiclet style keyboard that I preferred but my dad didn't. So that part is personal. The spacing of the keys is otherwise the same. The processor speed of the n280 over the n270 isn't noticeable even when watching hulu or youtube.
For casual Starbucks-type use, the wireless band doesnt make a difference, although the n is backwards compatible with b/g so why not? My he's 9.5 is currently only pushing 7hrs (I get 8 to 8.5hrs back home, internet radio and BT on) because it constantly has to reconnect as the signal keeps dropping at my dad's house (seems dad needs a new router too). The ha also doesn't have BT and cost-wise a BT would make up for the $40 price difference in the ha and the he.
The conclusion? The he is better value for money, although the ha is a solid investment for something light and portable for someone who doesn't need the extra 2-hrs battery life, the BT or the wireless n. The price difference is so minimal that it mainly boils down to how much you like or dislike the position of the scroll buttons on ha. The size of the screen means you will be using these button a lot.
UPDATE Sept 27,2009:
I just saw the Canadian keyboard layout (for Amazon.ca shoppers that read the reviews on the US site) of the Asus1000ha and it has some slightly different keys mainly an Alt-char function key to switch into French, and most importantly the arrow keys are the same layout (upside-down T) as the 1000he. The Alt-char functions are printed on each key in green and while clearly visible and very useful, seem to make the keyboard look rather busy.
The body of the ha seems to be the same shiny finish as the he. Perhaps this is the latest shipment of the ha model? Or maybe it's just the Canadian version of the ha that has the shiny exterior.
I don't know why people compare this to $1000 laptops June 17, 2009

Portable, plenty of storage for netbook, good battery life.
I'm not sure why people insist on comparing the $300 netbook to a $1000 mac. This is less than 1/3 of the price. No pun intended, but let's compare apples to apples.
This is fine for web surfing, emails, and ms office on the go. More functional than a PDA, but less powerful compared to a laptop.
