I am definitely biases towards Asus netbooks, having tested out several 900x models and now owning a 1000HE. The thing I love most is the light weight and ultra portability of Asus netbooks. Of course every other notebook company today have come out with their own version of a netbook.
Here’s yet another model from Asus – the 1005HA.
The technology is still the same using the latest Atom N280 which only gives an estimated 4% CPU boost compared to the older N270. At first look, it is suprisingly similiar to the Acer netbooks. Probably the biggest differentiator this time is the battery life. My 1000HE is advertised to be 9.5 hours (but practical use is about 6 hours). You can probably reach 9.5 hours if you turn down LCD screen brightness, turn off WiFi and lower the CPU speed to power saving mode ::)
The 1005HA is said to have a longer battery life running for 10.5 hours!
The design is said to be nicer now with an “Seashell” look.
