5.0 out of 5 stars Works Awesome!!!, July 11, 2009

By	Mikey (NC, USA) - See all my reviews

First day with it but I love it. At first I was going to install my own XP so I didnt have to deal with all the extra's Asus put in XP. But if I did that I would loose the original XP that came with it since they do not give you a full version XP CD but just a recover CD. So I just typed msconfig under START/RUN, went to startup, unchecked all the marks. Then uninstalled all the programs I did not want in the control panel. Wow does it haul now. Zero lag. Feels like I'm using my desktop and I havent even installed the 2GB's of RAM yet. The fit and finish is A+. I LOVE the white as there is NO finger prints. Oh and the recover CD and/or the F9 key does work perfectly as I have tested it. It puts it back as if you just took it out of the box. So you really do not need the external CD drive. Battery life is great. I've been working on the netbook all night with full brightness on and its still at 3 hours left. AMAZING! The keyboard/mouse works great also. I see why this new ASUS model and the one above it is getting high marks. Theres none better.. I've had others.. this is it. I would also like to add and this is a HUGE plus over the glossy screen of the 1005HA-PU1X-BK model, this model has a MATTE screen.. which means no glare!! Others are buying the 1005HA-PU1X-BK but I just cant stand the glossy screen along with the glossy black finger print hungry finish. I will take the lesser option one because just the little things make a huge difference. What good is a laptop if you cant ever go outside in the light because the screen has so much glare. Stick with this one.. its FAST and still does what the other models do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible !!!, July 23, 2009

By	Robert Logue "rlogue" (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Wow where do I start. I ordered this net book yesterday after much deliberation from Amazon and paid for the next day shipping as it was only 24.00 dollars.The unit arrived promptly at 2:30 the next day and I live in the boonies so kudos to Amazon. I waited for six months until they worked out the kinks with the net books before I finally pulled the trigger and I'm glad I did.

I narrowed my choices down to This one (the ASUS 1005 HA-V), The Acer Asper, The Sanyo, HP, And several others. I spent two days reading all the reviews on Amazon and I finally landed on this one. The Acer scared me because the screens were breaking and the others just seem a few months behind.

The first thing I did was charge it before turning it on. There were a few scary reviews about the screen of death and not working because of shipping issues so I turned it on with baited breath. It started up and went through the setup process. I had read were XP was over bloated with useless software so I anticipated removing much of which was preloaded. To my surprise I deleted nothing. I added AVAST Anti Virus Software and Firefox. I ran the system scan and did the windows update. After I restarted I expected delays but was shocked at how fast this thing turns on. I surfed the internet (which by the way was picked up in seconds by the unit. If it is encrypted, as mine is you, can do it after your initial setup.)with lightning fast speed. I was contemplating buying the 2GB of RAM but truly there is no need for it as I can see.

This unit is the perfect size and after reading about the Glossy display on other units I am glad I chose this one. There were complaints about the thin pin from the power cord breaking and I can see that happening if you are careless but I plan on charging the unit at night as the battery life will suffice for the entire day the way I use it.

I will be buying another unit for my wife within the next few days so I guess you can say I am extremely pleased.

Ok It is September 09 2009 and I am updating my review. I am typing this on my EEE HA-V so it is still working. After a few months not much has cahnged from my initial review. I am purchasing the 2gb memory as some websites take a little longer than I would like such as Yahoo, Facebook and even Amazon. Other than that it is Awesome. No Problems. I just got back from six flags and I took the laptop with me. It picked the internet up in the Hotel, and I never even need the battery charger.

Still Pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!!, August 6, 2009

By	F. L. OKelley (Arkansas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A week after my sister-in-law saw my Asus Eee Pc 900, she decided she wanted one. That was about the time I decided I wanted this one. Being a touch typist for umpteen years, I found it very difficult to do anything productive on the other's itty bitty keyboard. I sold her my 900 one day and bought this one the next. NOW this is more like it! The size of the screen is nice. The keyboard is large enough for me to type with ease. It is a sharp looking computer, and I get asked about it everywhere I go. "Is that one of the netbooks? How do you like it?" It is, and I love it!

I think quite honestly if I were recommending a netbook for ease of use, comfort, size and weight, I would without reservations recommend this netbook to anyone, anytime, anywhere. You simply cannot go wrong! Reasonable screen size, comfortable keyboard size, best track pad I've ever used (and you can even turn it off when you use a mouse), LONG battery life, large hard drive, full-size right shift key... What's not to love! You will hardly even notice the half-size up and down keys. These people honestly got the keyboard right, condensed all the right keys, and kept all the needed ones large. The screen is bright, and the computer looks sleek and sharp!

The one and only concern I have is the size of the pin on the power supply. It is tiny, and I could potentially see that would be the one thing I might break. But at a true six-hour battery life, you can surf off and on all day and never need another charge until you plug it in at night.

Don't wait another day to get yourself this notebook, I mean netbook! You'll wish you'd done it sooner! At least, I wished I hadn't waited as long as I did!
