 Good things come in small packages! December 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 has. I am learning to pop up just one screen up at a time, and to maximize them. This has not proved to be a serious deficiency yet for business and programming use.
The overall construction, fit and finish is great. The LCD screen although small is very viewable with much less fading out from an angle than many other laptops. The built-in camera and microphone work well (Oovoo is great for 3-way or more teleconferences). Sound quality is better than what you'd expect for a netbook this size. The two-finger control for the pad for scrolling and re-sizing is very useful although I still pack a mouse. The buttons on the pad work well when one presses them from the front where your thumb naturally lies when using the pad, rather than trying to press them from above. And the misplacement of the shift key on the right is not an issue for me as I always have used only the left shift key. Battery life is consistently reported at near 5 hours, not the 7 hours they claim, but I have yet to try it out for even that long.
Overall this is a great value for the money, if you can live with the small, limited resolution screen. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat if anything happened to mine, but I wish they'd make a just slightly larger 12.1" version!
 Eee PC 100HA = Perfect December 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 of speed when you compare it with the 901 and her 20 Gb solid state disk, but the extra space worth it.
-I don't need the 802.11n and the bluetooth, so I prefer to get this model than the the one that have this features.
-It is really easy to upgrade the memory.
Cons:
-The Right shift Key
Other thoughts:
If you really need a DVD Drive, you have 3 options:
1) Buy an external one. Cons: You lost in mobility.
2) If you have a network in your house or work place, just share your Desktop DVD drive. Cons: almost anyone in the network could access your DVD drive.
3) Install a Virtual DVD Drive emulator on your eee pc (there are a couple free on the internet), and now you can open an ISO image of your DVD. Cons: you have to make an ISO copy of any DVD that you want to open and copy it to your eee pc.
Rocks with Linux November 29, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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 core. The drive is the same speed as the bigger desk top models. The only hardware drawback is that I was spoiled by the preceeding machine's memory speeds, an XPC with AMD's super fast 64-bit bus.
Asus doesn't offer the 1000HA with Linux. I don't know what they're thinking here. I'm forced to buy yet another Windows license that will never be used. I've installed Gentoo Linux. It works very well.
The XPC becomes a server, the Eee PC 900 sold quickly and the Eee PC 1000HA becomes my every day development machine that I transport with ease. My development tasks require Postgres, MySQL, XMPP, C++, PHP, Javascript, XSLT, Apache.
I like the machine enough that I've purchased two more for my wife and two kids. They tell me Firefox, Flash games, Thunderbird and Jabber run well. They're only requirement was to remove Windows.
Lastly, my power bill is reduced because they sip electricity compared to a desktop machine.
Very satisfied!!! November 29, 2008

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!!
Fabulous machine! November 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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 use. The screen is big enough, but I must confess when I go back to my 15" Dell, I hear the theme from 2001 A Space Odyssey in my head. ;)
Speed in booting is very good. Conectivity is very good too. It can automatically connect to any wifi it has been connected to in the past as it is in range. In other words, it can and does hand off to the strongest signal it can find as you move. A handy feature when you are a passenger in a car and there are lots of hotspots along the way. I bought an external antenna for use with my larger laptop and it worked well, however this mini-laptop has better ability to bring in the signals. Case in point: I am using a wifi signal that the other machine - external antenna and all - cannot even detect.
As for the lack of bluetooth I use the USB device I have had for some time so no loss there over the other model. If I ever find I need wirelss N, I can get the external USB card too - so no worries.
I thought I would miss a drive on this thing but so far I don't - surprisingly. Anything I need I transfer with an USB drive or download from the 'net and all is fine. (With the exception of not being able to play movies well, so far... I just need to find better playback software.)
It works well with Skype and can multitask well. It is a good all-round portable machine.
The SD card adapter is more convenient than I ever thought it would be. The USB ports are fast and handy as heck. I no longer have to bring a hub with me. It is virtually an all inclusive machine for me, just what I wanted, it has enough built-ins and ports to do everything I need on the go without lugging a rat's nest of add-ons.
Now for the negatives;(I have to nit-pick to find any) I find it stutters a bit playing back movies recorded in AVI format. I suppose it must be the player software as my older, much slower machine plays them effortlessly. I'll post a comment if I find out what works for them. I watch Netflix movies on it daily, and that works beautifully! The idea is that I like to take DVD movies with me sometimes and without an internal DVD drive, I need to record them in digital memory to play them back on this machine. I have to find a good, smooth playing format, that won't eat-up the entire hard disk if I am going to do that. I simply hate jittery video. Also, the speakers are sometimes hard to hear with lower sound levels, but that is what headphones are for. Besides, what do you expect from tiny little speakers on a laptop? Well, these sound pretty good, just not all that loud sometimes (depending on source levels).
Also, the disk drive shows two partions at 80g and 60g that does not add up to 160 so I am wondering. Nothing to be alarmed about there is plenty of space. Also, the screen is a little short: as in it has less vertical space than I would like. Too many bars on the web browser and you need to scroll down just to see anything. A minor annoyance, but I suppose one must compromise somewhere. The case (in ebony) is a fingerprint magnet. I don't mind, I just clean it a lot then. Also, the buttons on the mouse pad are a lot stiffer than any others I have ever used, but one can get used to it. As usual for me, there are too many features on the mouse pad and the keyboard: one fumble and you've done something weird. I wish I could turn off a feature or two on that mouse pad, but that's just the way I look at things. I want it to do what I am telling it rather than what it thinks I want it to do.
Conclusion:
All in all I can't really fault the machine. I've been using it for about a month now, every day, and it has never disappointed me. I've never been able to say that before, in my 33 years of computer use. Hence the five stars.
