I purchased this netbook approximately 3 weeks ago. I absolutely love it. The keyboard is big enough for your hands and the screen is bright and allows you to see all the work you are doing. I must admit, I usually use it to browse the web, check email, write in word and so on. So it is just perfect for what I do. I also like to work with the photographs I take but as of yet I haven't put a program on here to do that. I purchased the extra RAM and may I say that is a MUST buy. Just let me say buyer beware if you are buying it for another netbook....be sure to check the type of RAM your netbook uses. We have a desktop and a laptop but I wanted something I could take with me on trips, in the car, just about anywhere. This netbook fits neatly into my purse and will be welcome to such boring long trips out of town. If you are thinking about a netbook research but this one is a great one....and you can expand the RAM to put more stuff on it. I even have a MMORPG on here and it runs fine. Hoping to put another one on it soon. I would highly suggest this netbook..

NETbook NOT NOTEbook

Let's remember that this machine (as are all in the category) is not designed to be a replacement for a full-featured notebook computer. It is better to think of it as a large iPod Touch, Zune, or Archos internet-connected device. In that role, this netbook succeeds completely. Many people deride the touchpad but I have to say that it's one of the things I like best. So many people don't bother to delve deeper into Control Panel settings or research the functionality instructions of electronics and thus do not enjoy their full benefits. Entering and adjusting the trackpad settings yields a multitude of special functions such as 2-finger scrolling (both vertical and horizontal), image size enlargement and reduction and other terrific navigation shortcuts. It almost makes the trackpad work like a touch-screen iPod. As far as I'm concerned, the only alteration to the basic hardware configuration needed is to upgrade to the maximum 2GB memory allowed ($35-$40). Doing so definitely improves functionality. Some also bemoan the lack of Bluetooth but that is easily corrected with a USB dongle for about $5 these days. External USB, external monitor, headphone and other jacks are wonderful and can be increased with the use of a USB hub. The camera has not, and probably will not be used by me so I cannot comment. The keyboard has a nice responsive feel and while small, is perfectly usable. Battery life is acceptable based on the designed function of this NETbook. It is more than adequate when used to check e-mail, web-surf or shop and do light work or play. Anything longer than the 3-hour limit can easily be accomplished by plugging it in. However, choosing the same model with a larger 6-cell battery would not be out of line, if desired. Wireless set-up was easy and flawless and, with the included Windows XP Home, software installation and other familar functions are successful. Build quality seems very good and I expect this machine to last quite a while with careful use. It's small size and portability doesn't negate the need for care. I've read some mentions of this unit getting hot during use. I have not experienced this as my unit has only remained reasonabley warm. If one buys this netbook as a supplement to a desktop or notebook computer he or she will not be disappointed. Trying to make this a replacement for a professional, work-level computer will only lead to frustration. I highly recommend this netbook as a fun, casual-use adjunct to your electronics arsenal.

I only wish I'd bought my Asus sooner. I'm so in love with this netbook. The portability, 10.1 inch screen, convenience and light weight. It is performing well and even got some added features not originally stated. Decided to purchase skin so I would not have to fuss with the fingerprint issue on the case, etc. All professional reviews score this 1005HA high. That and some word of mouth among friends convinced me to buy this and I highly recommend to anyone who needs to stay on top of emails and still want to have some fun with games. I'm doing fine with a 4/5 hour battery runtime. I don't see myself ever needing more than that. This recharges quickly. My unit stays cool and as much as I love my larger laptop for home use I absolutely love when I switch over to the Asus because I don't have all the extra weight of a padded lap tray and fan system.

I really enjoy my new netbook! It stays with me at work and at home (we have Wi-Fi at both places). I currently use it for tracking my diet and exercise, building my Ning social network, and playing games.
