Windows Vista is everything consumers asked for in a new Windows, which was stability and security enhancements. However, in order to get those promises, Microsoft killed performance badly. Even on...
Say what you will about Microsoft, but Windows Vista is all right. I replaced XP Professional with Vista Business on my MacBook (soon thereafter, I replaced OS X Tiger with Leopard), and I have to...
I am amazed that MS has a system out there for business that to date does not do one thing faster or better than the previous OS (XP). I've yet to find an advantage over XP from a business...
It's been five years in the making. Hundreds of thousands of man hours have gone into its development. Millions of words have already been written about it. Some have already written it off, others...
Don't buy this one if your intent is to install and run WIN XP PRO SP/2. It's a nice little Linux computer but I needed to run some Windows-only compatible programs and I installed WIN XP PRO SP/2...
I short, I love it. The folks who don't love it are trying to make it do something other than what it intended to do. I love the fact that it's light. I love the fact that the keyboard is just big...
+ easy to use default Xandros system, wireless network working out of the box (though I've replaced it w/ Ubuntu already) + pretty OK keyboard and display size + battery feels like it...
The Eee PC 1000 is a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between netbook and ultraportable, but it's well equipped, well designed and great for anyone requiring a highly portable...
Pros: Size Cons: Price Why would you want to pay a price like that for a unit like this? I have some with larger hard drives priced lower. Keep shopping!
Pros: size Cons: battery life This is not a laptop, it is a netbook, built for portability and convienence. It does that very well, has built in Wi-Fi and it works well you also have no problems...
For years the laptop market was trained to believe that small equalled expensive. Then Asus launched the original Eee PC and some things turned upside down -- at least for cutdown UMPC-type...
I bought this computer as a light weight, highly portable, mini notebook for my wife to use primarily for surfing the web. It fits this purpose very well. With Windows XP, it has an operating...
Purchased it for my daughter and ended up using more than her. Will of course have to get one for myself. It takes getting used to, as far as I'm concerned. The wireless feature is great. I can...
This product is unbelievably fast, has excellent handling, perfect wi-fi, camera is nice, sound is excellent. It has it all. The nasty snag is that Windows XP is installed in a *4Gb partition*. If...
I was happy with it for less than two months, and then the keyboard failed. When I press a key, several characters come out. I was on hold for customer support for more than 20 minutes once, and...
The Asus Eee PC 900 is the new update to the original Eee PC ... the affordable mini notebook that shook up the notebook market in 2007. Is this $550 mobile companion the best choice for your next...
I bought ASUS online last summer. I travel a lot and I found it to be very convenient: light, quick Internet. However, with only 16 GB Hard Drive memory one cannot do much.
The title says it all: Tech Support / Warranty Return sucks. It took several calls and all of a day to finally get an RMA. Asus has had the unit (PC 900 XP)in their hands now for two weeks -- I've...
Purchased my EEE 900 for 369. Happy with its size. Easy to carry. Disappointed with its speed. Seems quite slow compared to my desktop. If you're used to faster than 900 speed you'll be...
I had mine for a week and sent it back to Amazon, but it was my fault for buying the wrong computer. It was perfect for email and surfing the net, but I needed a laptop suitable for all-day...
Actually, I returned this product. I bought it for the purpose to use SKYPE. I was disappointed because the video was behind the voice about 3 or more seconds. Since SKYPE comes loaded on it, I...
SOME KEYS DONT WORK,LIKE F8F9 FOR VOLUME,PRINT SCREEN,4 SWITCHES ON THE LEFT HAND ABOVE THE KEY BOARD DONT WORK AND LOT OF THINGS,OVERALL I DONT RATE THIS AS A GOOD PRODUCT.
As a International Business Traveler, I want a notebook that is small, lightweight and simple to use ! This machine has 2 drives, C: & D: and as a relative novice, I do not have the time,...
After I first got this set up I really wanted to return it. The screen gives me a headache. It is too grainy. iPhone has a much better screen for viewing small things on. I spent 2 days optimizing...

Editors' note, October 27, 2008: We have revised the rating of this product to reflect the changing competitive Netbook landscape. Editors' note: On July 16, 2008, we updated this review to correct...
Why have these options built-in when you can't even take advantage of the features. There's not that many express card options in the market. HDMI without a Blu-Ray player built in? What's the...
Almost every Netbook we've seen to date has featured the same basic setup: the Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and Windows XP. We're even seeing less difference in screen size, as most vendors...
There are obviously problems with 1) the machine and 2) Asus as a company, since they've had a defective product for over one month and can not tell me when they may get around to fixing the...
If there’s one problem plaguing just about every netbook out on the market right now, it’s that cheap, toy-like feel. Manufacturers just can’t seem to escape it when they’re having their...
The netbook market has certainly graduated from the realm of novelty and the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA clearly exemplifies this notion. While the early Eee PC had a tiny seven-inch display and a barely...
I've owned four netbooks, including the first Eee Pc. This one is, easily, my favorite. It's about as small as these things get. It's priced right and it's the quickest netbook I've used....
This is a great little computer got it 3 days ago (arrived in 2 days- WELL DONE buy.com)so far it has been working pretty well. Today, however, the battery charger died. The computer is under...
Overall this is a great, reasonably priced netbook. Unlike others who think netbooks are laptops, to me they really are just something to take along when my full powered, much larger HP laptop is...
"Quick, small (but not too small), solid, fully featured"
This netbook delivers. I chose the Intel Atom processor N280 over the N270 for additional processing power. I also chose to have installed 2 Gig of RAM instead of the base 1 Gig. Both choices are...
Though notebook manufacturers have managed to make netbooks ultra portable by shrinking down just about everything and doing away with nonessentials like optical drives, one aspect of being small...
"Good size, excellent battery, very good performance"
After the 2GB RAM upgrade, this is quite an excellent machine. I chose this over all the others for the battery life, and it doesn't disappoint. Maybe it's just me, but I've always had difficulty...

The ASUS EeePC 1000HA BLK026 is exactly the type of computer I expected when paying ~$300. If you're expecting the 1000HA to handle large Excel spreadsheets or if you're doing major research while...
I had my doubts about buying a net book but my mind changed when I bought this one. Much better then the dell i have at home, amazing wireless and battery life. Hopefully 7 works on it, if not its...

I love this netbook and am still eagerly looking forward to carrying it everywhere with me when I finally get a new power supply. But you can't buy a power supply from Asus, or Amazon. I've...
I bought this machine for law school- I needed something ultra-light with a nice keyboard. My fiance likes it so much that now she wants one too! I usually run on battery and turn the screen...
I'd love to see a review from someone who actually owns this netbook. I previously baught an Eee PC 1000H for mhy daughter, but she didn't like the lack of an optical drive and tho 600 line screen...
Editors' Note (June 25, 2009): Anyone interested in the 1008HA reviewed here is advised to check out the Asus Eee PC 1005HA (released after this review was written). It offers a very similar...
It's a usefull for a start user. It's quite havy though. I regretted that it the mouse is not included Overall, it' great product for the price paid for.
When I first received it, half of the keyboard pops up. I brought it to Asus to repair and it was fine for about a week. Then, it pops up again and I brought it back for repair again. After...
We were very fond of the previous version of Asus' Eee PC, the 1008HA, which represented a radical design change from the boxy Eee PCs of the past. But its high-end (for a Netbook) price, at $429,...

Bottom line, I've only had this for one month, and I'll need to keep this machine for a long time due to funds. Looks like I'm in for a frustrating few years.
great pc. since netbooks are new its hard to find a offbrand powersupply, got one on ebay. Once i test the new off brand power supply I'll update my review. That being said its a great netbook....
I'm loving my netbook. It performs very nicely with the right software installed. UTorrent delivers very well for my downloads, Google Chrome ensures speedy web-surfing, and AVG protects your...

Bought one of these units from memory express. Motherboard-USB ports were flaky, it locked up the laptop as soon a USB device was plugged in. Exchanged it for another one, replacement had bad LCD...
