The Asus Eee PC 1005HA netbook features an excellent balance of size and battery life. At a glance, the netbook looks virtually identical to the Eee PC 1008HA, but it’s both thicker and heavier. The added depth gives the 1005HA room for a full sized VGA port, and a high capacity removable battery, both of which are missing from the 1008HA. Yet the Eee PC 1005HA is still thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the Eee PC 1000HE which Asus will soon phase out.
But does the Eee PC 1005HA offer enough advantages over the 1000HE for existing users to upgrade? Read on to find out.
The unit featured in this review has a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, and a 6 cell, 63Whr battery. It’s available from Amazon for $390 or less. There’s also a version with a lower capacity “8.5 hour” battery that typically goes for between $310 and $350.

For the price, the ASUS 1005HA offers a lot of very unique and interesting features that you won't find on other netbooks including support for 802.11n networking and Bluetooth 2.1 + AD2P support for wireless audio streaming. Not only that, but it has a sexy seashell design (hence the name of course) and great battery life (though not up to the 10 hours quoted by ASUS exactly) for a price under $400. There were a couple of drawbacks, notably the trackpad and overall system performance, but in terms of best in class netbook devices, this is one of the top with a test freak score as high as 9.6.
