Killer Netbook., July 17, 2009 By Warren Z. – ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X-BK
This is the laptop for everyone who never wanted a laptop before. It’s small with a very clear screen. The keyboard, though slightly smaller than standard, is a pleasure to use. It worked with my home network instantly.
It comes preloaded with 60 day trials for Norton Internet Security and Microsoft Works. It took a minute or two to upgrade the 1gb of RAM to 2gb (I bought the Crucial 667mhz memory suggested by Amazon).
The 10.5 hour battery is the real deal – I had my unit on for 10 hours and it was still running with just over 10% battery capacity remaining. I’ve had the 1005HA-PU1X for a week now – on and running applications continuously – without a single crash, blue screen, or hangup.
The only complaint I have is that the installed camera doesn’t capture video – or at least doesn’t capture video with the provided driver. I am very pleased with this purchase and feel that this Asus has exceeded my expectations for what a small laptop could do.
