Asus Eee PC 1005HA unboxing

[robinjanse44]

afther 2 years this thing is useless i use it on school 2 years now and it sucks the only game you can play on this thing is counter strike -.-

[Taskiran92]

@robinjanse44 as u know it's a 'net'book not gamer-notebook

[robinjanse44]

@Taskiran92 i know but still it sucks

[uniqueNfabulous12345]

does it have a built-in mic?

[TheoneFreeCakePro]

wheres the reset button

[ean7]

niiice. could you let me know how far back the screen can bend back please. thank you

[JREAMdesign]

cool mustache in the reflection :P

[510METROID]

aawww my eee pc screen isnt glossy :(

[TheRunning4life]

would this work great for listening to music and watching video in planes? and i know that the battery sucks im asking if the video lags while it plays and does the screen does a great job of showing pic and photos?

[510METROID]

@TheRunning4life just so u knoe i have one and when i try to play videos in itunes it lags alot my older pc plays better videos than this and it does show nice pics but not like omg is so cool not like that and afvter a while they get slow :D

[roblox84]

Which one do you prefer since you have experience with multiple net books, the asus on this video or the 1008ha?

[721069]

why do they send that cd if there's no cd drive?

[travers114]

@721069 Rofl I never thought of that.

[721069]

@travers114

yea it's a good question?

[wistals2deniks]

@721069

You can buy an external optical drive... I have always wondered why they do not promote those things.

[721069]

@wistals2deniks

i see. they should come standard with the purchase!!

[clubcar98]

@721069 Agreed....you can use a external....but why bother. They should have packed that software on a small usb flash drive and shipped it that way.

[721069]

@clubcar98

Yep but they want you to buy the drive instead of the flash... go figure!!

[TheStrong360]

@721069 do you know ''portable cd-drives like the thing in the backround'' ?

[721069]

@TheStrong360

Say the USB is not set to run first on start up.... and it crashes..... your screwed!!!

[TheStrong360]

@721069 do you know BIOS?!

[unraveledtree]

@721069 you can buy a dvd rom drive that plugs into a usb port

[Zimba9810]

are the 1005ha and 1008ha whisper quiet? i had a old acer aspire one and it was quiet loud when the fan kicks in .

[gokhanca]

go for the asus hp sucks

[RenegadeFury]

ASOOOOOOS

[MrGuitarguy99]

the hp mini 110 is better than this. it has some more cool features

[tylbobulldog]

does it have good wifi

please anwser

[MrGuitarguy99]

it has wireless board b/g/n

[lovelyliz31]

Yep. It does. I'm actually on one right now. It's quite fast, really.

[sheerforpleasure]

something i forgot to add. the asus 1005 has a 6cell battery which is much smaller than those of hp

[xMandalorex]

i've search for a 9-cell is there a 9-cell out there?

[sheerforpleasure]

I strongly believe that a 9 cell battery doesnt exist yet in the laptop market/especially in netbook. I know that there is either 3 cell battery or a six cell battery for this type

[xMandalorex]

WEll There is a 9-cell netbook battery in the Lenovo Ideapads, as for this asus 1005 yes the max is a 6-cell.... but damn !!! asus should make a 9-cell for it...

[xMandalorex]

Hmm im back again lol,

I, think asus should make a 9-cell for this imagine it 15 hrs battery life .... wow lol

[GHxx1]

Only idiots walk around with a heavy, clumsy and ugly looking 9 cell. Smart people use an extra cell or an extra external power cell if they really need it. They only take them with them if they actually need more than 10 hours, which is seldom, unless they don't have a life like you who obviously stares more than 10 hours at his tiny 10 netbook screen all day...sigh

[xMandalorex]

like i said before we need to be onthe move i'll prefer a 9-cell in a 1005ha... but they dont make one heh

[kylerocks122333]

@xMandalorex ebay search : 9 cell asus 1005ha and there are lots! Just got mine today and I am getting 14 hours

[xMandalorex]

OMFG! finally they are made and released! yup just seen them on ebay 9-cell battery.... wow cheers man !!!

[sheerforpleasure]

I would recommend 1005ha since the hp mini only last for 3-4hrs thus its heavier. Most reviews on the net clarify that this machine can go continously for 7-8hrs which is twice as much as the hp mini 110. Plus its thicker. The only thing that sucks about this computer is that it is prone to fingerprints if it is black/hp mini doesnt pick up fingerprints lol. I also believe that the power brick for hp 110 is larger than that of 1005ha

[00Pfeife00]

SSAMSUNG N 140 FTW!

[cactus815]

does this thing really run for 10 hours straight?

[MKMASTERS]

depends what battery you got or buy

[m1dnightshow]

yeah with the 6 cell battery.

[xMandalorex]

10.5 hrs to be exact lol yes if your doing word or web surfing lol

[sheerforpleasure]

would this suit as a college notebook for listening to lectures/taking notes?

[msteyrah]

I purchased a few Asus 1005ha netbooks, 3.5 months ago from Best Buy, along with an LG portable DVD-RW. I love it. I take it everywhere; connect it to my LCD TV, and only wish it had an S-Video connection so that I could use it in my training facility. I find the keyboard comfortable to use; although I do not use the arrow keys. My sister owns the Toshiba N205, but prefers to work with the Asus for its speed and sound quality.

[LollyDent]

hi everyone

i was thinking of getting this for christmas. but on the argos website it doesnt say whether it has wifi or not, could anyone help please?

[5thray]

I got this netbook, and it has the best wireless network connection ever if compared to previous netbooks.

It is really fun to own one... i also use both windows xp and windows 7... dual boot. It is excellent. Also battery charge is amazing... i keep the charger at home when leaving in the morning for studies at school. I enjoyed every moment of it, owning 1005ha netbook. It mainly depends on your needs, remember it is not graphics pc, and not for gaming. Any thing else is fine.

[LollyDent]

thanks for the reply. i think you have persuaded me to get it now :D thanks again x

[karedward]

it has. most laptop today has a wifi..

[18masterkyle]

There is wifi (b/g/n). Very well worth it!

[mattpoulton1]

i need the opinon of a asus 1005ha user. I had the laptop and sent it back. One thing that i thought was that the keyboard felt very cheap. Keys round the outside area of the keyboard sounded normal however keys in the middle area just about all the letters, sounded funny. Like they werent linked into there sockets properly. Can someone tell me if this normal with them/ would really like to know. Thanks

[bribabeX100]

whats better? 1008ha or 100ha?!?!?

[5thray]

1005ha is better i think... 10.5hrs battery life per charge.

[iSaintFieldmonkey]

i have one & the battery wouldn't last two hours....not even that...is a good unit but very fiddley..

[18masterkyle]

Defective? Mine lasts more than 8 hours

[reevu1]

its bulky

[amarth23]

haha i just love to watching people trying to fit the battery into this netbook.

[ZeFreaky]

Thx a lot for the video, it helped me a lot...

[BlazinBonezH2X]

I love this version but i want to put a 256GB SSD in it i guess its going to be a pain, wonder if i can order one with a 256GB SSD in it already and make sure it has an Atom N280.

[atg2007]

I'll receive mine next week with upgraded RAM to 2 Gb... I can't sleep..

[ZeroKelvin]

I know I'm getting a seashell but I'm having trouble deciding between the 1005 and the 1008. Any suggestions?

[Naoufalitos24]

u should know that the 1008 has a dedicated battery (not removable) i guess you should go for the 1005 but you should consider other brands (hp) hp mini 110 or the new hp mini 311

[sahatnow]

Get the 1005HA. The 10.5 hours of battery is worth it. Get the P version.

[pangabovetoot]

1005 has longer battery life :)

[lsvtec]

i will receive mines friday

[qwertyomen]

My brother just got one of these and being he got grounded from it, it is my turn to play with it... so yeah the touch pad can be tricky sometimes, but if you do it right you can make it scroll by sliding your finger down the edge of the touchpad. the keys are slightly smaller, but it is easy to get used to. Overal it is a really good cheap netbook. personally I think it would be better than an hp (at same price comes with stupid linux not ubuntu) or a dell from what I just read :)

[qwertyomen]

also forgot to mention that you can easily upgrade the ram to 2GB and the speakers are crap.

[joric70]

this or dell mini 10? help me decide.. :)

[tollerarsch]

this,dell mini tocuhpad is shit.

[josgomez15]

Well i just unboxed my Asus in blue, and has a problem in the screen :S (I was soo exited that now i just want it to be ok) The background has a white color with pink dots and where the blue is, theres navy blue dots....

[igonnagetfsx]

I just orderd mine! I'll get it tomorrow! :D I'm soo exited!

[habs798693]

Hey, does the 1005ha come with an XP back-up disk? Do they allow you to back-up XP using an external writer?

[Perho92]

Maybe because of money, batterylife and size? :D They are in different categories, this one is cheap and portable, and M17x is expensive and powerful.

Sorry my bad english ;(

[BB0YMatty]

because this is not for gaming, freak.

[HemiSync101]

Asus Eee PC 1005HA vs Alienware M17x

Apples meet Oranges.

[Dominoes282]

more like little red ryding hood vs. monster truck

[K31th3n]

Thanks to your review I am officially buying one outright :) thanks mister!

[themastersb]

Awsoose

[GeneLightt]

Is this good for uploading and creating (Movie maker) youtube videos?

[stlaurent75006]

which do you prefer betwen the 1000HE and the 1000HE? they have the same autonomy?

[Podginater23]

there exactly the same thing lol

[Majrek]

1000HE and 1000HE is kinda same model so they should have the same autonomy :>

[bcta302]

Did you meant 1000HA and 1000HE...

[cutiezonia]

this is awesome...

i want this ONE!

BTW dOes this have in Philippines now???

[vivalaGratz]

you treat it very badly

[WithTheDmeister]

asking for someones opinion:should i buy the lenovo s10 with the 6-cell or the eee pc 1005ha with the 6-cell?

[vivalaGratz]

i would go for the asus. lasts longer

[dewan05]

could you play pc games on this laptop?

[xKatz90]

old games should work fine seeing this has the same graphics as my 4 year old macbook

[LEXPIX]

Nice vid. I just upgraded from the 901.

[bondage2012]

did you mean significantly smaller than the 1008ha? you said large.

[BradLinder]

Nope, I meant larger. It's smaller than the Eee PC 1000H. But much thicker than the Eee PC 1008HA.

[gmax876]

Did anyone else notice that this thing comes with a restore disc but it doesn't have an optical drive.

[Dominoes282]

you need an external CD/DVD drive

[gainrage]

You can also copy the files to a flash drive

[uniboyskiier1]

yep i thought that was hilarious

[genuinexheart]

this is supposed to last longer than the 1000he, right?

[Web285]

The 1005ha has about 8 hrs. of battery life

[Dominoes282]

10.5 now

[Web285]

yes the 1005ha has about 8 hrs

[RainyRaven]

I was wondering the same thing..

[Web285]

is the 1000h yours

[basslover352]

also which one do u recommend im deciding between these two

[basslover352]

which one has better speakers?

[raseam]

Hi Brad,

Do you happen to know whether the Asus Eee 1005HA has a built-in UMTS module? In a YouTube report from a Germain fair they said that it was SIM-ready, but nothing in the internet, not even the Asus product page, seems to confirm this.

Thank you for your remarkable vids.

[BradLinder]

There is a SIM card slot. On the demo unit shown in this video, it's not used for anything. There's no 3G support. But it will be an option on some units in the future. That's all I know about it for now.

[wolfrider910]

oh please! thicker that thicker! you should see my old IBM Pentium one. You could knock someone out with that!

[wolfrider910]

how many computers do you have???

[jalyoy]

When is it going to be available in spain?

[Portablemonkey]

Any warranty stickers (on the inside or..) opening up the device to say, access the hard drive?

[crazyintellect]

great review...more vids of this please. would like to see how it handles hd video. hopefully test 720p and 1080p vid for us.

cheers

[jedimaster0103]

My predictions:

720p: Watchable, but below average.

1080p: Don't even try.

[brandon20904]

1024 x 600

[Santiagosony]

1080p on a netbook? hahahahahah

maybe one based on ion, but not these netbooks with the crappy intel on board graphics!!

[slade307]

Laptop Magazine claimed they had no trouble with a 720p file in their review of this netbook.

[G0T3NKS29]

cool video a was waiting a review between asus 1000he and the asus 1005ha.

did you know when exactly this netbook will be available?

[slade307]

Amazon has July 1 listed as the date.

[xwicked7]

could you do a battery life test? i heard it was similar to the 1000HE's.
