'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.'
'Black is elegant, especially when you’re out on the town with your new Asus Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X-BK Netbook.'
'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 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.'
'For the reviewer at Laptop Magazine the best thing about the notebook is its LED-backlit XBrite-DuraView screen which turned out to be extremely vibrant and and had excellent viewing angles.'
'performance serious road warriors demand'
'Excellent screen colour and vibrancy • Keyboard is excellent to type on • Stamina/Speed modes let you choose between performance or battery power.'
