Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good things come in small packages!
I can only add a few things to the many good things already said.

This is a sweet laptop. But if you are used to large screens - for instance I have a 24" LCD monitor for my desktop, and a 17" LCD screen on my (heavy! and large!) laptop, both with 1920x1200 pixels - the 1024x600 resolution will seem mighty cramped at first. I wish it were just a tad larger, say 1280x800, but...I'd have to get a 12.1" for that, and none seem to have the combination of features that this little jewel ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Eee PC 100HA = Perfect
I was looking for a small and light laptop. I could use my mother in law eee pc 901 for 2 weeks and I realized that an eee pc was what I need.

Pros:
-The 10 inch screen is the perfect size for an ultra portable PC. It really make a difference when you compare the 1000HA with the 901.
-The keyboard is bigger and better than the 901, but the right Shift Key is still painful.
-Getting the Hard drive with 160 Gb is really a plus, you don't run out of space. You lost a little ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Rocks with Linux
I first purchased a Eee PC 900 w/Linux. The hardware was impressive but the versions of the software was dated. That didn't matter too much for a part time use as a portable web browser, email, IM and writing machine. But I'm a developer so I need more in every way for it to be a full time machine.

This led me to the Eee PC 1000HA. Its a very nice hardware. The specs at Asus describe the machine well. Beyond that: the graphics card pushes a 1680x1050 external monitor nicely. The CPU is dual ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very satisfied!!!
I bought this for an upcoming trip. So far have loaded all my software on to this compact netbook and everything is running fine (Outlook, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Skype, MSN, Yahoo, Live Mail).

This computer boots up and shuts down FAST. 160GB is plenty so far. The keyboard is very compact which is good since this netbook is very portable. I'd recommend an external mouse since it is difficult for larger hands to hit the touchpad buttons easily.

Would recommend this product!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous machine!
If you want a do-it-all package that is very portable, then get this machine. It is a must.

I bought this machine because I needed a new laptop and wanted something that was very portable. I opted for the 10" screen and the 6 cell battery because of recommendations from other reviews. I am not regretting the choices.

This thing is fabulous! It does everything they claim and more. The size does not get in the way, and the keyboard is hardly smaller than normal so it is very easy to ... Read More
