Asus EEE PC 1000 XP Laptop Review - PC World: PCWorld

It's funny, really: Many makers of high-end notebooks don't even bother--simply tossing a PDF in the box--and yet this well-laid-out book covers all the bases. *

refined keyboard

ASUS Asus EEE PC 1005HA Laptop Review - PC World: PCWorld

The other big features in play here come in the form of the power toggle mode (accessible through holding the function button and tapping the space bar) and a software suite that sits on your desktop. *

brilliant performance

Asus Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X-BK Netbook - Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz, 1GB DDR2, 160GB HDD + 10GB Eee Storage, 10.1" WSVGA, Windows XP Home, Black: tigerdirect

Black is elegant, especially when you’re out on the town with your new Asus Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X-BK Netbook. *

ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-P Seashell Netbook: MobileTechReview

The Eee PC 1005HA-P is available in black and blue and both have a gloss finish lid that looks lovely but attracts fingerprints like mad. The Eee PC 1005HA-P hit the top position in PCMark among several recent netbooks we've reviewed but that margin is slim since there's relatively little variation in CPU, RAM and hard drives used in these machines. The charger is very compact and though there have been some reports on the Net of the charger running very hot and doing a temporary thermal shutoff, ours remained quite cool when the notebook was off and only moderately warm (in the range of average for an AC adapter) when the netbook was turned on and charging. *

keyboard

CNet

The flat, wide keyboard, similar to what we saw on the Eee PC 1008HA, is among the better Netbook keyboards we've used, and the full-size right Shift key is one of those things you don't realize is very important until it goes missing."

Amazing battery.."

efficient 6-cell lithium battery"

MobileTechReview

	"	The netbook is attractive and the 10.5 hour battery means you really can go all day away from AC."
	"	The design is more unified than the battery hump sticking out the back approach used by Lenovo on the S10-2 and the Toshiba mini NB205 ."
	"	The battery is removable unlike the first seashell 1008 that had a sealed battery."
