Works Awesome!!! Jul 12, 2009
By Mikey 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.

Incredible !!! Jul 23, 2009
By Robert Logue

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.

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!! Aug 07, 2009
By F. L. OKelley 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!
(April 19, 2010) I have had this netbook for 8 months now, and I still love it as much as the first days I used it. The keyboard is the right size for typing; the battery life is amazingly long, and I have no problems whatsoever getting hooked up at wi-fi locations. The boot up time is short, so I'm off and running on my applications very quickly. I can't say enough good things about this netbook. It isn't meant to be a person's primary computer, but it could function as one if you needed it only for internet, email, and word-processing applications. Still to this day, its best feature is that is will easily fit in a briefcase or large handbag. You can get the convenience and portability of a small computer with the capability of doing most things a large computer can do. It's still one of my favorite toys and still a great investment! No regrets here!

Great netbook for the money Jul 27, 2009
By Alice Berry I've had my eee for about a week, and although there are a few things that irk me, I still think it's a great purchase. I also purchased the 2GB memory and installed it as soon as the eee arrived.
Here's my two cents:
Pros:
-The matte screen is great outdoors. Very easy to see even on a sunny day.
-The mouse is easy to use. I love that it has left click, right click, and scroll built in. It's pretty cool that it blends right in, too.
-The keyboard is a great size. I've worked with a 10 inch acer aspire,which might have the same size keyboard, but I found the eee to have a better feel.
Cons:
-The first thing I noticed (I'm a bit of a nut with the "look" of my purchases) was the space bar wasn't even with the rest of the keyboard. Although this isn't a big deal, it was a little annoying that my brand new netbook had a slight defect.
-The 8.5 hour battery isn't really 8.5 hours when using the internet. I did some research before I bought the 1005HA-V, and I saw that the 10.5 hour 1005 HA-V's reviews said the same thing about its battery. Expect about 7- 7 1/2 hours when using the internet with the HA-V.
-The battery also makes the netbook a little heavier than I had hoped. It's not bad though, but when buying a netbook with a better battery life, I suppose you'll have some extra weight.
All in all, I'd buy the HA-V again. It is great for word processing and net surfing, which is exactly what I was looking for in a netbook.

This is the one you're looking for... Aug 21, 2009
By Daniel Wilson If you're reading this, you're either at the beginning of a long, review-ridden journey to find the perfect netbook, or you've already read hundreds of reviews. I spent two weeks poring over reviews and spec sheets, looking for the right balance of cost and performance. And this is it.
The Asus 1005HA-VU1X is everything it claims to be: a sleek little netbook with solid (not premium) features, exceptional battery life, and a very simple out-of-the-box setup. The HDD read times are fast, as are the network components. The keyboard is surprisingly comfortable, even for a hard-line touch typist. Included software is decent (though I did end up uninstalling MS Office, Works, and IE in favor of OpenOffice and Firefox), and there really isn't too much bloatware. The screen is perfect for everyday use, and I frequently use it to stream Netflix movies. The design is very handsome, and the whole package is very light. Finally, the battery: I've gotten seven hours out of every charge since this little guy arrived. Seven hours!!!
I have made some mods that improve performance, though none of them is so drastic that they should be considered necessary. To begin with, I uninstalled much of the included software (for personal preference reasons). I used the second partition (the 160GB drive is split into two 80GB partitions upon delivery) for Linux Mint 7. On the Windows side, I installed VirtuaWin (virtual desktops), xplorer2 (file management), and VLC (media player). As a devout Mac user, I can be very picky; these small tweaks left me very happy with the look and performance of the XP Home-based 1005HA.
There were a few concerns that kept me from giving this guy a five-star rating, but not from loving it. The first was Bluetooth: apparently there are a few different configurations sold under the same part number, and some don't include Bluetooth. The model I got had no BT, which was confusing; however, since I don't care for that technology at all, I wasn't the least bit upset. The second was the included online storage: this little feature was the victim of the same poor planning as Bluetooth. Again, I just don't care that much.
The bottom line on the Asus 1005HA-VU1X: a fast, power-friendly, and attractive little netbook that's perfect for moderate use (read homework, email, word/document processing), as well as light multimedia functions. The netbook is extremely portable, and I can tether to my iPhone for on-the-go internet access in under a minute. This is a GREAT product!
