I was attracted by the 2 gigs of RAM that were included, allowing a full version of Windows 7 to run. It is light, easy to tote around, and full featured -- right down to the webcam. The tracker pad is comfy and responsive. Display is not sharp and gorgeous like bigger computers, but it is more than adequate for my portable computing purposes. This is not a desktop replacement, but how great for business trips and vacation -- can't wait to use it for offloading photos while traveling using the built-in SD card slot! <br /> <br />The design is lovely -- the brown is classy looking and not *too* attention-grabbing, and all the slots and inputs are hidden away under discreet covers. I am enjoying this computer after a month and will update as some more time passes. Rating: 5 / 5 I did a good deal of reading and research before purchasing this ASUS Eee.

Considering price and free shiping it is a bargain!

I waited for this model because it has Windows 7 Home Premium instead of 7 Starter. I've taking it on a trip and it was perfect. I've only encountered one problem which really concerns me: I haven't figured out a way to install the Canon program I need in order to view Canon RAW photos. The problem is that there is insufficient screen resolution for the Canon program to even properly load. If anyone has a solution to this problem, PLEASE reply.

We have purchased ASUS netbooks before but this one (unlike the others) has a very sturdy and well built feel to it while the others feel flimsy. The only complaint I have is the bottom of the netbook gets so hot that it burns to have on your lap. I've owned several laptops/netbooks and have never had a machine cook like this. The netbook would get 5/5 stars if it weren't for the concerns I have with the device overheating easily. Rating: 3 / 5 This netbook was a perfect buy for my wife.

This does not have the adapter for that. Called them to see if they could sell me the additional adapter, but the rep would not give me the time of the day and kept insisting that the only option is to return it.

Reasons I selected this model: the New Intel Atom N450, 2GB of memory (vs. 1 GB factory installed for most Netbooks), Win7 Home Prem. (vs. Starter Ed for other Netbooks), Wireless N, Bluetooth (I use a BT Wireless mouse), 1.3 MP webcam... Etc. Overall it is a very well equipped, very light and portable Netbook. <br />The screen is sharp and easy to read even outside (not under direct sun light). <br />The keyboard is really comfortable and easy to use. <br />Absolutely love the Express Gate, it is a stand-alone operating system from ASUS that boots up in seconds and provides the essential appz such as File Explorer, internet browser, photo viewer... in seconds I am connected to the nearest Wi-Fi hotspot and good to go. <br />The Cons are: <br />1) The most important thing for the Netbook is the battery life; on this one... it sucks! Better explain in numbers, Watching a movie from the Hard Drive with Bluetooth and Wireless both OFF and battery set on power saver: ~3 Hrs, Streaming video online with Wireless ON & BT OFF and battery set on balanced: ~2.5 Hrs, normal internet surfing (No Stream) with Wireless ON & BT OFF and battery set on power saver: ~4 Hrs, Video chat with Wireless ON & BT ON and battery set on balanced: ~2 Hrs, playing light games (like Luxor 3) full screen with BT and Wireless both OFF and battery set on power saver: ~2 Hrs. I haven't yet tried to run it on High Performance battery setting for a long time!! The battery never lasted for 4.5 Hrs or more no matter what I turn off and on which settings the battery is; the 6 Hrs battery life is inaccurately advertised! <br />2) Surprisingly it is not very responsive, I was expecting way better than that! I understand that it is designed for web surfing and light applications and this is exactly what I'm using it for, if I stream a video on YouTube and I have 3 more tabs open in IE for email, news, blogs... the video breaks up really bad! Close a couple of tabs and it works fine! I mean for a 1.66 GHz dual core CPU and 2 Gigs of RAM you think it can do better. Now the performance significantly improve when it's connected to AC power and set the battery to high performance but the Netbook should be a portable device, if I have to stay plugged to AC power, I would rather prefer to use my 17" laptop! <br />3) The 1024x600 resolution is not compatible with a lot of websites and applications, seriously... the manufactures has to get out of this box, 1280x720 is totally doable in this screen size! <br /> <br />I would still recommend this Netbook but purchasing an additional battery is a must, which by the way I wasn't able to get an extra battery, I've been looking since the day I placed the order till the time I'm writing this review, I have searched the internet without luck and contacted ASUS several times regarding this and they keep telling me that it will be available in Amazon and some other websites in the near future... I'm still waiting. Rating: 4 / 5 I did a lot of research and waited a long time before buying this Netbook; I totally love the gorgeous look and finish, the ports are hidden under covers.

The screen is sharp and easy to read even outside (not under direct sun light).

The keyboard is really comfortable and easy to use.

Absolutely love the Express Gate, it is a stand-alone operating system from ASUS that boots up in seconds and provides the essential appz such as File Explorer, internet browser, photo viewer… in seconds I am connected to the nearest Wi-Fi hotspot and good to go.

The Cons are:

1) The most important thing for the Netbook is the battery life; on this one… it sucks! Better explain in numbers, Watching a movie from the Hard Drive with Bluetooth and Wireless both OFF and battery set on power saver: ~3 Hrs, Streaming video online with Wireless ON & BT OFF and battery set on balanced: ~2.5 Hrs, normal internet surfing (No Stream) with Wireless ON & BT OFF and battery set on power saver: ~4 Hrs, Video chat with Wireless ON & BT ON and battery set on balanced: ~2 Hrs, playing light games (like Luxor 3) full screen with BT and Wireless both OFF and battery set on power saver: ~2 Hrs.

Now the performance significantly improve when it’s connected to AC power and set the battery to high performance but the Netbook should be a portable device, if I have to stay plugged to AC power, I would rather prefer to use my 17″ laptop!

3) The 1024×600 resolution is not compatible with a lot of websites and applications, seriously… the manufactures has to get out of this box, 1280×720 is totally doable in this screen size!

I would still recommend this Netbook but purchasing an additional battery is a must, which by the way I wasn’t able to get an extra battery, I’ve been looking since the day I placed the order till the time I’m writing this review, I have searched the internet without luck and contacted ASUS several times regarding this and they keep telling me that it will be available in Amazon and some other websites in the near future… I’m still waiting.

ASUS is listed specifically in the list of products, but this doesn't fit an ASUS Eee PC 1005HA. I've kept it as a backup charger for an HP laptop, but the original intended use was not possible.
