Discount ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell 10.1-Inch Pearl Black Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life

I've had this netbook about 3 weeks and I think it's great. It is not my main computer, and I don't have the expectation of it doing everything to the same degree. I am running Office on it, Word and Excel with no problem. I understand if you have s copy of office already you can just load your serial NO (key) into the trial version to open it up without having to reload another version.

Occasionally gets hung up on a webpage on the internet, but mostly everything loads fast. This one does not have easily accessible memory to upgrade to 2MB, which would make the internet work like a champ all the time. Need to tweak settings to get maximum viewing. (Auto hide bottom bar, hide as many toolbars as possible, adjust to small icons, set in control panel for screen to give you best performance not auto.)

The mousepad took a little getting used to, need to use a light touch, my only complaint is the right/left click bar is a little hard to push.

I went with this model because it is about 1 pound lighter than the 1000HE. I was more concerned with weight than having 9 hour battery life(I get about 5 hours on this one).

I really don't think not having a CD/DVD rom drive is a big issue. Between, downloading, flashdrives and/or external hard drives you are covered. I would put my money into a large flash drive and an external hard drive before I spent money on an external CD/DVD.

Overall great little machine.Get more detail about ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell 10.1-Inch Pearl Black Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life.
