Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this netbook for close to a year now and I have not been disappointed. I primarily use my ASUS for browsing the internet, watching movies and managing my library of music, photos and eBooks. For people looking to play graphic-intense PC games, edit digital video and audio or cannot live without a built-in optical drive: this is not the computer for you. The 1008ha-PU17 has a 1.66 GHz processor and 2GB RAM, so while it isn't the fastest machine out there, it still wins in terms of being super lightweight with an aesthetically pleasing design and the functionality to keep the average laptop user entertained.
Battery life is excellent. I previously had a Toshiba Satellite which I could only use for about 2 hours before I needed to plug in the adapter to recharge it. The ASUS does not have this problem as I was able to browse the internet (via my Wi-Fi connection) and watch an entire movie while only burning through a couple hours with at least 3 more to spare. I'd say it has at least 6 hours total of use on the "Balanced" power setting.
There are only a few things I was not pleased with in regards to this netbook. The screen is super glossy making it nearly impossible to use outside on a very sunny day. Also, the speakers are not some of the best even compared to other laptops. At times, I had to turn the volume up to the very maximum just to hear things comfortably. I purchased this particular netbook in white, which looks fantastic, but if you aren't careful it will get scuffed easily.
All in all, no real complaints. I love the 1008HA for all my day to day computer needs. It weighs next to nothing so I take it everywhere. For the price and the functionality, I'd say this netbook is one of the best.
