User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars The bigger version of the original ASUS netbook
Bigger and heavier than my original ASUS netbook but has the additional memory that lets me download my normal work programs and can be used as a normal machine (bigger keyboard) if I need to do some writing.
2 Stars Worthless tech support
I had this item for 1.5 days. It charged fine the first time and worked very well. I was happy with it for the price for sure. But then my power cord failed. I called tech support and they answered promptly with an almost working english accent. But they then wanted me to ship my power cord to them for repair. Forget that, I will RMA it back and get my money back. They could ship me a cord and have me ship the defective one back. How hard is it to troubleshoot a bad power cord??? Not very.
4 Stars Overly glossy case – but a great value
The case is extremely glossy and is always getting fingerprint smudges. Overall, it seems to be a great value though. The battery life is not necessarily as long as advertised. Certain settings have to be adjusted to obtain the extra long life.
3 Stars Screen too Small
I found the unit easy to connect to the internet but difficult to use. I had to disable the touch pad because just moving the cursor over a link instantly opened a window without so much as a light tap.
Small 10″ screen was annoying…much worse that I expected after using a desktop all these years.
4 Stars A g0od product
I bought the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 2 months ago and use it extensively on the train to and from work. Its great with the 2GB upgrade and works well for single applications and web browsing. It works well whenm you don’t need a full size laptop. The touch pad takers some getting used to, but overall its a great product.
