Asus Eee PC 1005HA Netbook - The Latest 10-inch Model From ASUS

Specifications: I just can't remember the last I was so exciting over anything. I think the best netbook of 2009 has just been released! When I heard that the Asus Eee PC 1005HA netbook was released, I wasted no time in getting my hands on one of those. Asus netbooks has always been my favorite but I had always wished that they had a more stylish design. Then they released the 1008HA, which was very stylish but somehow expensive. The Asus Eee PC 1005HA netbook is not only cheaper but sports the almost identical stylish design of the 1008HA!

The 1005HA has the specs of the latest netbooks in the market. It runs on Intel's Atom N280 1.66GHz processor and comes with 1GB of RAM. It has a 160GB (5400 rpm) hard drive and a 10.1-inch LED back-lit screen. You can also use its built in 1.3MP web-cam for video conferences. It is Bluetooth 2.1 and wi-fi enabled (802.11b/g/n).

Design: Due to the 6-cell battery, the Asus Eee PC 1005HA netbook is a little heavier than usual, but nevertheless still very portable. It weighs at just 2.8 pounds and measures at 10.3 x 7 x 1.5 inches. It sports the same tapered 'seashell' design as the 1008HA, with a glossy surface. The Asus Eee PC 1005HA netbook now looks just as stylish, if not more, than Acer and Samsung models.

Features & Performance: The keyboard Asus Eee PC 1005HA netbook is extremely easy to use, with a full sized Shift key. The 1005HA fared very well in terms of performance too. Its multitasking speed, and iTunes encoding speed was pretty impressive. The most amazing feature of this netbook is its battery lifespan. Asus claims that it can lasts up to 10.5 hours on a single charged. To test its battery life, I play the movie Transformers on it over and over again till the battery drained. It lasted almost 7 hours of non-stop video playback. I think if you were just to use it to surf the net, chat, music or word processing, it can easily reach 9 or 10 hours.
