ASUS Parts wear out fast! Aug 18, 2010 After only 8 months of occasional use, the keyboard malfunctioned. In order to repair it, I must pay for shipping (to and from), the keyboard and labor. All of this is more than 50% of what the original unit cost. Buyer beware. You are getting what you pay for,only it won't last very long.
Eee PC 1008Ha Jul 11, 2010 + nice design
+ good keyboard
+ good life time
+ ubuntu 10 works well
- hard drive quite heated during work. It makes sense to replace it to ssd.
- strange arrow buttons
Just love it May 27, 2010 Although the battery of the 1008HA is not removable, but I still got it rather the 1005.
It is thinner, lighter than 1005.
Eee pc1008HA ia my best assistant for jotting notes in class. I like to brought it to school, it's lighter than a textbook!
Update on Warranty Service & WiFi May 21, 2010 NOTE: This is not a complete review, just some information on my recent experience with warranty service.
I quickly got an RMA number via email from ASUS after reinstalling Windows failed to restore my netbook. The repaired computer was returned to me with a new hard drive within a week. I live in CA, and I sent it to a CA service center, so your results may vary if you live elsewhere.
I and others who bought this computer experienced WiFi connection problems that a BIOS update didn't fix,nor were there any other updates on the ASUS site to address this problem. After I booted up my "new" computer for the first time, it detected my home network (draft-N) and quickly connected. Out of the box last year the only WiFi that it would connect to was G.
I'm pleased with my first experience with ASUS warranty service.
A final comment on aesthetics. The Pearl black finish looks good unless you touch it. I saw a newer version of black last week, sort of a matte finish graphite, and it doesn't show fingerprints, unless of course you're eating pizza at the same time as you're typing.
Modified my asus EEE pc 1008ha to SSD & 2GB RAM Apr 28, 2010 I just modified my Asus EEE pc 1008ha, placed a 60GB SSD kingston drive, upgraded my RAM to 2GB from crucial and installed windows 7 32 bit (64bit is not supported by the processor). The gig now rocks and is really fast even with high end programs like photoshop. Anyone interested email me so i can guide you the whole process, you will lose warranty if you attempt this but if careful it is well worth the effort and risk
