yes, you can do all this with a netbook but you might wanna wait until the new generation comes out by the end of this year. it will offer you more performance
You can run windows 7 on it. 1gb of Ram works fine. I'm not sure where you are getting your information from, but Win7 runs like it was made specifically for netbooks!
need to tell you that this is a myth. Vista supports the onboard graphic card and hyperthreading way better than XP. We even measured more battery time under Vista
I was waiting for the review of this new machine recently. Thanks for quick update. I'm exciting that many guys come to Taiwan for the COMPUTEX 2009, so that we can see lots of innovations. Welcome to Taiwan.. (I'm living here as a foreigner. lol..)
Hey, im trying to decide between the 1005 ha and the 1008 ha, what are the main reasons that you seem to pick the 1005 over the 1008? From my own understanding, the 1005 ha is slightly less slim, but with a much better battery, correct? is there any other differences that im failing to see?
sorry but only because most of the new laptops have a glare display, it doesn't mean that this is good. A glossy display is just an epic fail when you wanna use your device while being mobile. I have about 10 Netbooks i bought this year with a non-glossy display. And yes, you are completely wrong, just take a look at the new HP Mini netbooks! HP changed the new versions from a glossy to a non glossy display cause they understood the usage scenario of netbooks. No need to swear btw!
aha, the explains alot ;) I could not understand why the upgrade to 1008 should have a bader webcam. Thanks :D but how is the sound from the fan ? do it make alot of noise? I need to have it as quite as posible ;)
For gaming I would recommend an Ion Netbook. If you are really buying it for gaming, the HP 311 is a good deal. Just because it can run it doesn't mean it will run it well. WOW is a serious game, you'll want an Nvidia Ion platform.
I love Win 7 on my netbooks, you might see a slight increase in battery life if you did stick with Ubuntu, the graphics in Win 7 are a little harder on your battery.
are any of the speakers at the bottom of the netbook? because i got a gateway netbook and the speakers are located at the bottom, which i think it not a good place because they are not loud and clear when placed on a bed or table. by the way .. . how does it perform? thanks alot.
Win7 flies on Netbooks! Just did an install on a ASUS 1000HA and it boots 11sec faster. Win7 is lighter and faster then XP, everything about it is designed for a netbook, why would an almost 10 year old O/S be a better fit for a device that has only been around for under 2 years?
hmm.. im almost ready to buy this.. but i theres only one thing im not sure of... which one is faster? the blue version of 1005ha or the black version 1005ha? >_>
I'm trying to decide whether to get this or the Acer Asipire One AOD250. Most of it just for World of Warcraft. I've read reviews of the Acer, where people have said it runs the game fine, can the Asus do the same? It's $30 lower than the Acer right now at Best Buy.
i just ordered this last last night. and now i'm thinking of returning it when it comes, and getting the Dell Mini10 in purple (my favorite color) .... bad idea? which do you think is better?
Hello. my laptop just went dark and lost light but i can tell from the shadows on the screen that it works but dont know which button can increase light , thank u
Does anyone know if upgrading the hard drive will cause any issue with the warranty since we have to open the case? I lost track if it was Asus or Acer who officially said upgrades would not void the warranty.
But it's because you gor a 3 cell battery pack, here in my town you can find 6 cell battery they last from 8 to 10 hours :D By the way, how much video memory does this notebook have?
The white one is the Asus 1008HA. It's main difference is that it has the slimmer design and has less battery life (about 6 hours...spec. But its more like 5 hours with real world use. Oh...and its about $370...$10-$20 more expensive than the 1005HA. The black one (reviewed) is the Asus 1005HA which is selling for around $360 U.S. has more battery life (10.5 hours..spec. Real world is more like 8.5 hours). Its a little bulkier/heavier than the 1008HA but you get more battery life.
any reason why get the 1005? I was looking to chose between those 2 for christmas. N120 is 299$, and 1005 is 329$ ( in canadian dollar ). n120 has bluetooth and 1005 does not.
would this work great for listening to music and watching video in planes (mp4 file and mostly movies and shows)? im asking if the video lags while it plays and does the screen does a great job of showing pic and photos?
Elevationary ought to show us how it's done. Clearly he/she is the expert on quite a fair few things, including accents. Other than that, thank you for the review minipcpro for showing the prodcut before I go and make a purchase. Provided a fair bit of insight (and not blabber). Unfortunately there are a few people out there with a skull at least ten times thicker than a german helmet. Cheers.
one is on the left side toward the back and the other is bottom front right. They're decent for what they are but far from high fidelity. The podcast I listened to last night sounded tinny, but definitely listenable. I didn't crank the volume, but I was working between two rooms in my house and it was loud enough.
If you get the 1005HA-P you can get it with the new 6-cell battery that has 10.5 possible hours (up 2 hours from the previous 6-cell 1005HA models). You do give up a 1.3MP camera for a .3MP camera. I'd like to see a comparison on the camera differences :D. Also at least some of the new 1005HA-P have 250GB hard drives up from 160GB.
Hey. I'm realy not sure on which I'm going to buy. Since the 1005ha only have 0.3 mp web camera i think thats to bad. And the 1000He makes to much noise. The 1008ha I dont se anything wrong with but what would you recomend ? It dont have to be an Asus. I going to us eit fore skype, msn, Surf the net and music, but im also going to use it on school. Im realy no expert on pc so I realy nedd your help. Sorry if my english is bad- Norwegian ;)
guys i got acer aspire one 751h 11.6´´ for x-mas but i am seriously thinking of exchanging it with this one asus 1005HA 10.1´´ ... what would u do???? which one is better?
It's not really worth the upgrade unless you're just dying for the newer model with the massive 10.5 hour battery life. As for heat, it really doesn't put out any more than my friend's 1000HE, couldn't tell you about the H model, though.
@nhticoke gimme some real words and i might cosider it. This is a hands on with all the information you need about it. This is no review like your comment is no... well, comment! There must me something wrong (besides your spelling)with your "!" key. You might wanna let a technician look into that ;)
yes, you can do all this with a netbook but you might wanna wait until the new generation comes out by the end of this year. it will offer you more performance
yes, the 1005HA-M comes with a non glossy display, which is a big plus when you wanna be mobile.
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I am living in Taiwan since february. It's the netbook paradise and of course i had to get over here asap ;)
thanks a lot for this fantastic feedback Gunnar and cheers to Sweden.
thanks a lot for your motivating comment. Yes, they include an XP Home installation dvd.
thanks a lot for this nice feedback and compliment! :)
@littlevenk it needs to be attached to the netbook of course
great build quality and the best eee pc keyboard so far
oh yes for sure. The N110 comes with a glossy display which i don't like for mobile usage
battery life, keyboard and non glossy display. Watch out cause the N120 is just the N110 in the enclosure of the NC20, which was made for 12 inch.
When he mentions the 3G slot on the bottom, are there cards available for that purpose already?
found this on our backyard i might try to open it lol
hehe it has porn0s nice
it will be released in the next couple of weeks. Worldwide!
of course you can upgrade the hdd.
i can't comment the noisy fan at all. mine was just fine. If you wanna use your netbook outside i would recommend the 1000HE for sure
You can run windows 7 on it. 1gb of Ram works fine.
I'm not sure where you are getting your information from, but Win7 runs like it was made specifically for netbooks!
this is the 1005HA which is platformwise pretty much the same (N270/N280)
need to tell you that this is a myth. Vista supports the onboard graphic card and hyperthreading way better than XP. We even measured more battery time under Vista
I was waiting for the review of this new machine recently. Thanks for quick update.
I'm exciting that many guys come to Taiwan for the COMPUTEX 2009, so that we can see lots of innovations.
Welcome to Taiwan.. (I'm living here as a foreigner. lol..)
@Trazor2k0 yes you could. just search for "wow on eee pc"
For netbooks, the start up looks the same as Vista (for now) but it is Win7
The most impressive feature is the BURP at 3 minutes & 50 seconds into the review, Burptastic baby!!
well it will come to the market with 3G. I dunno when though. But you will definitely see them by the end of the year
yes it bends like all the others
Which do you prefer, the 1005HA or the 1008HA? I plan on getting a netbook when I go to college, and I'm stuck between the 2
yes, the webcam is offering a decent image quality.
Hey, im trying to decide between the 1005 ha and the 1008 ha,
what are the main reasons that you seem to pick the 1005 over the 1008?

HP changed the new versions from a glossy to a non glossy display cause they understood the usage scenario of netbooks. No need to swear btw!
i guess i can't follow you. What is the issue with this hands on (it's not a review)? Of course i know that this is a seashell, too
aha, the explains alot ;) I could not understand why the upgrade to 1008 should have a bader webcam. Thanks :D but how is the sound from the fan ? do it make alot of noise? I need to have it as quite as posible ;)

I love Win 7 on my netbooks, you might see a slight increase in battery life if you did stick with Ubuntu, the graphics in Win 7 are a little harder on your battery.
i would prefer the 1005ha because of it's exchangeable battery.
are any of the speakers at the bottom of the netbook? because i got a gateway netbook and the speakers are located at the bottom, which i think it not a good place because they are not loud and clear when placed on a bed or table.
by the way .. . how does it perform? thanks alot.

Sascha gets to touch all the newest gear before anybody else. That's because he tells the world about them better than most anybody else.
no thermal issues at all and of course no noisy fans :)
@satainkara it's an eee pc 1008ha
this one! maybe you wanna take a look at the 1005PE with the new N450 cpu! In general the build quality and keyboard is better than the aod250
hmm.. im almost ready to buy this.. but i theres only one thing im not sure of... which one is faster? the blue version of 1005ha or the black version 1005ha? >_>

Yes. But I would recommend upgrading the RAM to 2G.
i just ordered this last last night. and now i'm thinking of returning it when it comes, and getting the Dell Mini10 in purple (my favorite color) .... bad idea?
which do you think is better?
Hello. my laptop just went dark and lost light but i can tell from the shadows on the screen that it works but dont know which button can increase light , thank u
yes, this is 10.1-inch
would you even pick the Samsung NC10 instead of the new Samsung N110? thanks
@lovelyliz31 can you please tell me where are the speakers are located? are they loud and clear? thanks.
Does anyone know if upgrading the hard drive will cause any issue with the warranty since we have to open the case? I lost track if it was Asus or Acer who officially said upgrades would not void the warranty.
but my one only has a memory slot on in, if i wanted to change the hard drive whould i have to take the whole bock panel off?
But it's because you gor a 3 cell battery pack, here in my town you can find 6 cell battery they last from 8 to 10 hours :D
By the way, how much video memory does this notebook have?

wait.. Amazon says the 1005HA lasts 10 hours, while the 1000HE lasts only 9. is this correct?
would this work great for listening to music and watching video in planes (mp4 file and mostly movies and shows)? im asking if the video lags while it plays and does the screen does a great job of showing pic and photos?
many people say it has a noisy fan. the only thing stopping me from buying it is that and the fact that it runs on linux. What is linux exactly??
i have to say i would still go for the Samsung NC10
Does the 1008HA worth the $100 difference? Do you suggest to get the 1005HA or 1008HA?
is the fan loud? will it disturb in a silent class?
Elevationary ought to show us how it's done.
Clearly he/she is the expert on quite a fair few things, including accents.

Cheers.
let me know about your experiences and thanks a lot for your great feedback
it should hit the western stores in the next 2 months... maybe even earlier
Pretty slow, no?
The white one is cutter but both seems cool definitely to travel for instance
@minipcpro just curious, because i didnt hear anything about charging.
could you do a hard drive upgrade on the asus eee pc1005ha?
@lrm130 yes, that's the one
hit f5 and try to start it in the safe mode
how is the build quality on this device? How does typing feel?
one is on the left side toward the back and the other is bottom front right. They're decent for what they are but far from high fidelity. The podcast I listened to last night sounded tinny, but definitely listenable. I didn't crank the volume, but I was working between two rooms in my house and it was loud enough.
can anyone tell me where are the speakers are located? and if the the speakers are loud and clear. thanks.

i would prefer if over the 1000HE. Better keyboard and longer battery life.
how does this compare to the Eee PC 1000HE
How far back can the screen swing ?
just saying what ive heard ;-)
but why do the netbooks get selled with xp/linux and not 7? :s
@malayrojak Anytime! ;)
@oddha theres no cd rom how are u planing install ur os?....
guys i got acer aspire one 751h 11.6´´ for x-mas but i am seriously thinking of exchanging it with this one asus 1005HA 10.1´´ ...
what would u do???? which one is better?
does the battery charge in the netbook or by itself? please awnser.
you just can't hear it. I had no problem with it at all.
@minipcpro so you plug in a cable like a normal laptop and then it charges you don't have to send it in?
what the name of white notebook ????????????????
Great netbook. Not a huge fan of the glossy screen, wish the "v" version offered the same specs in matte screen.
Is there any way to upgrade the HDD?
nope. You won't hear the fan at all
@batthatisbat go for the new 1005PE
IS THE COLOR MIDNIGHT BLUE??
this will be the new standard eee pc. Eee PC 1000H and 1000HE won't be produced anymore
hi everyone,i cannot decide between 1008ha and 1005ha..please help me by telliing me which one is a better buy and why..many thankss !!!
of course you could
you have to deassemble the case!
It's not really worth the upgrade unless you're just dying for the newer model with the massive 10.5 hour battery life. As for heat, it really doesn't put out any more than my friend's 1000HE, couldn't tell you about the H model, though.
is it a good deal to get the 1005HA for 350 dollars?
@nhticoke gimme some real words and i might cosider it. This is a hands on with all the information you need about it. This is no review like your comment is no... well, comment! There must me something wrong (besides your spelling)with your "!" key. You might wanna let a technician look into that ;)
is it worth 100 dollars?
which generation? is it the 1008H???
just one dimm slot. the chipset can't take more than 2GB anyways
the first one was the 1008HA?
there are 3 versions: One 3 cell and two 6 cell versions.
it's f5. Seems like your Windows installation just crashed
