The display is bright and luminous and there are absolutely no bad pixels.It boots up and shuts down very quickly.In any event: we’ve owned it for two months. It’s used every day. I’ve traveled with it twice. It rocks… 60 days later:

Asus eee pc hacking upgrade#
I didn’t spend months agonizing over this decision. I may have a touch of OCD, but I’m not completely crazy. I read a bunch of reviews, looked at a couple of units in electronic stores, and settled on the Asus by virtue of its 10″ display, reasonably large hard drive (160GB) AND the fact that it came with XP. I resisted my strong and quintessentially idiotic urge to upgrade the RAM right off the bat (in a lucid moment I realized the Asus would be used for web surfing 95% of the time) and ordered it from Amazon. My landed cost was $341 by virtue of a couple of award certificates thanks to my Amazon Prime membership, I ordered it Friday morning and it showed up at 9:15AM on Saturday. This quick post is a follow up to my earlier First Take: Asus Eee PC 1000HA review published on January 21st of this year if you’re not familiar with that earlier post and are in the netbook market, you might want to refer to my initial thoughts on this product.Ī brief bit of background: when our DELL Inspiron 5100 laptop began to show its age and started acting about as cooperative as an AIG executive appearing before a Senate sub-committee, I began thinking about potential replacements. I’ve mentioned before on these pages how much I hate traveling with my company-issue ThinkPad and its relatively heavy power brick and so, unable to con and coerce my company into buying a netbook, I naturally started looking for one myself.
