ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10.1-Inch Pearl White Netbook - 7 Hour Battery Life Review

ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10.1-Inch Pearl White Netbook - 7 Hour Battery Life
Although this netbook seems to be the oddball of the Eee PC line (seems it was more or less a quick pitstop between the darlings of the series - the 901 and the 1000HE/1005HA), it has performed more than admirably for my uses. I adopted this netbook after my wife “acquired” (read: borrowed and never gave back) my Eee PC 901 running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04. If you are a fan of F/LOSS, I think you will be quite pleased with this netbook. For the price, enough time has passed that the most recent kernels will fully support the hardware on this netbook in the majority of cases. I have run Crunchbang, Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 and 9.10, as well as the recent Fedora 12 Xfce Spin on this netbook with little to no hand configuration required. And although Pearl White might be considered a less “masculine” color, it is also a less fingerprint prone color as well so you don’t end up feeling the need to wipe it down with your microfiber cloth every five minutes. Bottom line is that it is the same sturdy, reliable hardware and build that you have come to know and love with the Eee PC series coupled with the maturity and reliability to run most modern Linux distributions with confidence, if you choose to do so. Very happy with mine and have not even considered shopping around for a new netbook despite new advances and my usual propensity to hop on the latest and greatest technology. Highly recommended if you are a GNU/Linux fan.

ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell 10.1-Inch Pearl White Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life Review

ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell 10.1-Inch Pearl White Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life
Have had this for a few weeks now and I’m reasonably happy with it. It’s a great little machine for everyday basic web surfing and word processing. Very light and very portable, but powerful enough to do more than the older netbooks.

Pros:

- Extremely light
- Sleek and easy on the eyes
- 92% full size keyboard, very easy to type on.
- shift keys are full size, ctrl key is in the right spot like normal keyboard.
- good battery life.

Cons:

I bought this small, portable PC for my wife. She absolutely loves it. It suites all her needs and doesn’t slow her down with its easy travel dimensions. The stylish design also fits her lifestyle and makes all her friends envious.

ASUS 7″ Eee 8GB PC Netbook Computer with Windows XP - Galaxy Black Review

ASUS 7" Eee 8GB PC Netbook Computer with Windows XP - Galaxy Black
This little ‘netbook’ is very small. I liken it too a poor man’s OQO but it does its intended job: To get on the Internet. One cannot play WoW on it and expect it to mimic their home PC. Also it having a Celeron is something to hamper the expected performance of it. However, it comes underclocked! A good thing and a bad one too. That’s to save energy and extend the life of the machine. I was blessed to get a version w/ Windows XP on it for a reasonable price. The first thing I did was to bump up the SO-DIMM RAM to 2GB and that seemed to help. The auto update (which I disabled) stuck me with XP Service Pack 3, so that ate up the already small HD. Getting rid of the swapfiles freed up over 5% of the HD, which is a lot for just an 8GB hard drive. The 701 SD possesses a SD card reader (hence its name) so one can save the solid-state drive some room. It seems to run a little hot when it’s used for a while. The battery charges relatively quick compared to my Compaq V6444US.
