Asus Eee PC 1008HA Review Roundup

Now that the Asus Eee PC 1008HA is made available in pink (currently available in Amazon.com for $417), I have made some analysis on this netbook. Below are the summary of good and bad for this netbook after reading several reviews across the web.


Asus Eee PC 1008HA is one of the thinnest 10-inch netbook around. It has a 10.1-inch LED Backlight WSVGA Screen with 1024 x 600 resolution, an Intel Atom N270/ N280 CPU, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 10GB complimentary online Eee Storage, and a battery that last for 6 hours usage. The most outstanding features of this netbook is its slim and stylish design. It's just 1-inch thick and weight only 2.2 pounds. And under such thin and light design, this netbook still maintain a decent performance that's comparable to other bigger-size netbook. While the spec claims that the battery can last for 6 hours, most reviews that have done stress test on the battery are seeing 4 to 5 hours of battery life, which is still consider good.

The biggest drawback of the Eee PC 1008HA is however the non user replaceable battery -- you couldn't change to a backup battery yourself when the original one run flat. This could be a big disadvantage for those who need to travel long distance. And another drawback would be the price which is more expensive than most other competing nebooks.

Here are the summary pros and cons for the Eee PC 1008HA:

Pros

• Extremely thin, light design
• Spacious keyboard
• Speedy hard drive
• More than five hours of battery lif
  

Cons

• More expensive than competing netbooks
• Battery not user replaceable
• VGA port requires adapter
