Amazon have a good deal on the ASUS Eee 1005HA netbook running Windows 7 Starter. The processor running in this particular Eee 1005HA is the slightly older Intel Atom N270 that was super-ceded about a month ago by the Intel Atom N450 processor, but for doing web browsing and checking emails and such the N270 works very well. If you want an Intel Atom N450 processor then a comparison can be found over here.
The ASUS Eee 1005HA has an 8.5 hour battery capacity which almost provides a day of work under less strenuous usage. The screen measures 10.1 inches and the keyboard measures a decent size compared to a full sized keyboard (usually 92% - 95% on the ASUS models. [click to continue…]
ASUS had a number of new netbooks on display at CES this year that included the ASUS Eee 1005PE model. What makes this model stand out is it's impressive 14 hour battery life. The reason for the increase is down to the new Intel Atom N450 processor that the 1005PE uses that requires less power to run, thus allowing for longer usage between charges.
The ASUS 1005PE follows on from the excellent selling 1005HA model. It has a 10.1 inch LCD screen that can display 1024x600 pixels. The Intel Atom N450 processor runs at 1.66GHz and the netbook has 1GB of DDR2 memory installed that can be upgraded to 2GB if desired. [click to continue…]

A lot of this is due to it being a good all-round netbook that has a fantastic battery life, good sized screen and looks great.

A new ASUS Eee 1005HA netbook is launching this week, and it's not the Windows 7 version we mentioned last night. This new version will still run Windows XP but rather than the traditional Home version of the OS that we see running on many netbooks, the business edition will run Windows XP Professional.
Along with using the older pro version of the XP operating system the netbook will also get a bump up in RAM taking it to a capacity of 2GB as standard. The XP Pro will not be supplied as is, but instead will be supplied as a Windows Vista downgrade. [click to continue…]
With the launch of Windows 7 being right around the corner, ie, this Thursday, Amazon is quickly building up a list of netbooks that will run the new operating system when launched. Each of the 28 (28 are featured, but there are more listed on the site) netbooks can be pre-ordered now. Included in the list are some of the best netbooks that are currently selling with Windows XP including the Asus Eee 1005HA that we reviewed a few weeks ago. That particular Eee PC is to be made available this Thursday costing $399 and will run Windows 7 Starter.
Other netbooks included in the list are the Acer Aspire One, Sony Vaio, HP Mini and Toshiba models to name a few. Prices range from $299 for the cheapest (the Gateway 10.1" netbook) up to $499 for the most expensive. [click to continue…]
The Asus Eee 1005HA has been top of the best netbooks list for a few months now. For this reason we decided to take a look at the netbook to see exactly why it sits up the top there on Amazon's list and what makes it such a good seller.
The Asus 1005HA comes with a 10.1" LED backlit screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, it has 1GB of RAM, a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 processor and a 160GB hard drive. It's most impressive feature is the 6 cell 63Wh battery that is capable of keeping the 1005HA powered for 10.5 hours on a full charge.
The netbook measures 1.4 inches at the thickest point and shrinks down a fair bit up to the front of the device. The reason that the netbook is larger at the back is due to the high capacity battery that has been included. However, on the whole, the netbook isn't badly proportioned at all and the extra size at the back really isn't noticed. On the back of the device you'll find a similar hinge to what Dell uses on their Mini series of netbooks where the screen slides back behind the device giving you a little extra space.
