The Asus Eee PC 1002HA is a classy looking netbook thanks to its brushed metal finish and nice wide keyboard and touchpad. But I get the sense that it’s high price tag was holding it back a bit, and the cheaper Eee PC 1000HE, 1005HA, and other more plasticky netbooks from Asus have probably been […]

Asus Eee PC 1002HAE: It’s like the 1002HA with another letter (and a few other tweaks)
Asus CEO Jonney Shih may have admitted that Asus introduced too many Eee PC models in 2008. But that doesn’t appear to be stopping the company from slapping extra letters onto the names of existing netbooks and offering slightly upgraded specs. The latest victim recipient: The Asus Eee PC 1002HA. Next week Asus will release […]
Eee PC S101, S101H, 1002HA compared, contrasted
Over the last year, a bunch of companies have relased a bunch of mini-laptops with incredibly similar specs. You don’t know how tired I’ve grown of typing “1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 10 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1GB of RAM, and Windows XP Home.” But when the main specs are so similar, you can […]
Asus Ee PC S101H shipping in Japan
Asus will begin shipping the Asus Eee PC 1002HA and Eee PC S101H in Japan this weekend. The Eee PC 1002HA is already available in the US for around $430, but the company currently has no plans to release the Eee PC S101H in the US. The Eee PC S101H is virtually identical to the […]
Asus may be preparing a new Eee PC keyboard layout
One of the main complaints I hear about Asus netbook keyboards is the awkward placement of the right shift key. On the Asus Eee PC 700, 900, and 1000 series of netbooks, the shift key on the right side of the keyboard is located to the right of the up-arrow, making it difficult for touch […]
Asus Eee PC 1002HA review
The Asus Eee PC 1002HA one of the best looking netbooks Asus has released since creating the category of low cost mini-laptops just over a year ago. The machine has a professional looking brushed metal exterior and it weighs less than its predecessor the Eee PC 1000H. But on the inside, it’s basically the same […]
First look at the Asus Eee PC 1002HA
The nice folks at Asus just sent me an Eee PC 1002HA to review for the next few days. The Eee PC 1002HA is something of a cross between the Eee PC 1000H and the Eee PC S101. It has a brushed aluminum case like the S101, but it’s just about as thick as the […]
Asus Eee PC 1002HA unboxed (from a fancypants box)
You’ve seen the pictures, you’ve seen the reviews. Now it’s time to see the Asus Eee PC 1002HA get unboxed. YouTube user Zeavott has posted a video showing an Eee PC 1002HA netbook emerging from what appears to be a very nice looking case. Unlike previous Eee PC cases, the 1002HA box is sheer black, […]
Asus Eee PC 1002HA now available at Amazon
The Asus Eee PC 1002HA is now available at Amazon for $499. The netbook is the company’s follow-up to the popular Eee PC 1000H. Like its predecessor, the 1002HA has a 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, and runs Windows XP. But it’s thinner, lighter, and has a more attractive […]
Roundup of recent netbook reviews
I’m sitting at a coffee shop right now typing away on the HP Mini 1000 so that I can get a feel for the netbook’s real world performance for a review I plan to write before giving the computer away in a contest set to start next week. And what am I doing with my […]
