Works as intended Feb 28, 2010 The portability of this computer is amazing. The keyboard does take some getting used to but slowly I am making fewer mistakes with it. I like the screen brightness, even on low-power it is still plenty bright. I've been using it with a mobile wireless broadband USB stick from Virgin which uses the same network as Sprint. I'm able to do video Skype and everything with it from anywhere. Also comes in very handy on the bus and airplanes, where it can be whipped out in a few seconds and used to check e-mail and such. The lightweight is also a big added bonus, really helps your shoulders if you carry it in a backpack. The case it comes with is also very useful, keeps scratches and dings off of it. I bought mine refurbished for just $250, so really can't complain about anything. It is just like new plus has a three month warranty.
Great Great buy!! Feb 16, 2010 I've had my Asus Eee pc 900HA since last May (10 months now) and this has definitely been one of the best purchase decisions I've made! A classmate had one and I was instantly intrigued by the size, convenience and portability so asked his opinion and I did a little research of my own. Because I was preparing for lots of travel during the summer and a regular laptop would be very inconvenient to carry (it's amazing how much difference 10 pounds when making packing decisions) and only needed the basics (office, internet, skype, picture storage, etc.) I gave it a try. Wonderful!! Yes, the keyboard is small but, I find it to be more than just a step up from a cell phone. Runs just as fast, if not faster than my desktop, is very light, and great for multitasking. I upgraded the RAM to 2 gigs, very easy to do.
The main reason I give it a 4 out of 5 is that when i tried to install photoshop the resolution had to be changed, which makes it strange when the screen shifts around. But, i can still run other programs, even movies when I plug in an external cd drive. The speakers could be louder too. Also, I ordered the 1000HA for my mom a few months later, it's a 10 inch, and that actually makes getting used the keyboard a little easier. She loves it. I backup all my files to my desktop, but have never had any problems with losing anything. The price is very reasonable and I can take it anywhere. I definitely recommend one.
ASUS EEE 900HA Feb 12, 2010 I have had this netbook for over a year now. And it handles just about everything I throw at it.
I bought it because I was tired of carrying my heavy notebook on the road, especially thru airports.
However after about a year the battery is starting to fail, it is only charging to 41% of capacity.
That said I would buy it again.
Seems to be good if good.... Feb 01, 2010 Mine came with a battery that does not charge, so I had to purchase another one for $70,oo
Space bar does not work if you do not press it just in the center.
Other than that, I think this is a good product when not defective.
Mine was a refurbished unit.

fun, portable, perfect Jan 31, 2010 Pros
-Quiet
-Small, very portable, lightweight, goes and fits anywhere (yes, even in a cargo pocket. I've tried.)
-Windows media player 9
-Starts up quickly, ~30 s
-Small keyboard
Cons
-Does not come with Microsoft Office, comes with Microsoft Works (an oxymoron)
-Keys occasionally stick, random double letters. Be sure to proofread.
-No disc drive (but, there's no space for one, either)
My Eee PC is very fast; it only takes 30-40 seconds to boot up and about 15 seconds to shut down.
It's very small and light. You can take this thing anywhere. I have to add that, as a consequence of being less than 9 inches wide, this computer has a small keyboard. The width of just the letters on my desktop's full size split keyboard at the narrowest point is about a foot. Of course the keyboard on my 9 inch Eee PC is small. I like it this way. Invariably, when I sit down to write a paper at a desktop in the winter, my hands get cold. But on this mini-computer, my fingers are close together and warmed by the computer itself. After I had been using this wonderful computer for three days, the desktop computer seemed like an oversized monster. Everything was huge. I feel that I've adjusted very well to the small size of this computer. On the note of the keyboard, however, I feel I should note that some keys on the keyboard seem to stick slightly. This causes random double letters, though I should point out that this may be due to operator error (though, the double letters are usually A's or E's. Makes me want to comment about the extra E's: this computer is very enthusiastic about its name).
Reviewers have commented that battery life on this computer is only around 3 hours, but they don't say how much they're doing when they use the computer. I'd like to point out that the battery is advertised to last UP TO 5 hours. Turn off the music, disable the internet, stop multitasking, and turn the brightness down a little. These changes allow me to get nearly 5 hours of battery time. I'd like to point out that the battery does charge very quickly. While I was writing a paper, the battery charged 80% in about an hour. Granted, I had the brightness down, the internet disabled, and I was using my iPod, not the laptop, to play music.
I think there are two ways that this machine could be improved: 1. A bent or split keyboard. This change, however, would make the computer larger and more expensive, which would detract from its appeal. 2. Microsoft Office. All other computers I use have Microsoft Office. Sure, Microsoft Works has some nifty features, but every time I save a file, I have to save it as a different type of file so another computer can read it.

The rest of this review is written after a year of use.
I still love this thing. I have installed Microsoft Office, thus removing my biggest complaint. I also bought an external disc drive, which turns out to be bigger than my Eee PC. I love that this computer came with Microsoft XP, not Vista, though Vista was the newest OS. This computer has been filled with music, movies, and the word and excel files that every student makes. Filling up so much of its memory has slowed it down slightly, but not much. It's still faster than the old desktop. I haven't tested the battery life in a long time and have no reason to do so, but it hasn't died when I needed it to keep going. This computer is perfect for me. Except for a few months (when the computer forgot it had wireless), I've only ever had trouble accessing a wireless internet network in Japan. For a while, this wonderful computer wasn't accessing WiFi networks. That was my fault. Note: disconnect the internet, as disabling it will make the computer forget it can access wireless internet. This computer still boots up in about 40 seconds (including the time it takes for itunes to open, as it's programmed to do automatically), and still shuts off in about 15 seconds.
There are only two things wrong with it now: the random double letters, and I had to install a program to let me type in Japanese. However, me moving to Japan is not Asus's problem.
I should probably note that I am not a computer gamer. I can't tell you how this computer handles games more complex than solitaire.
I didn't give the cover time to gather fingerprints. I got one of the decal stickers, which arrived before the computer. A blue picture of the sun merely helps this mini laptop get attention.
