Asus Eee PC 1008HA (Windows 7 version) review

Brad Linder — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:28:19 +0000

The Asus Eee PC 1008HA is one of the thinnest and lightest 10 inch netbooks available. It measures just 1 inch thick and weighs just 2.4 pounds. The netbook is a grand departure from early Asus netbooks including the Eee PC 1000HE which was one of the largest and heaviest 10 inch netbooks around. Asus has been selling the Eee...

Windows 7 + netbooks = lower battery life?

Brad Linder — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:19:00 +0000

Last week Chris Guthrie at netbook Reviews ran a battery test on two virtually identical netbooks: An Asus Eee PC 1008HA with Windows 7 and one with Windows XP. He found that the Windows 7 model ran for an hour longer than the Windows XP model, which made it look like the operating system actually helped improve battery life on...

A tale of three notebook sizes

Brad Linder — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:59:00 +0000

Over the past few months, the low cost ultraportable notebook space has expanded to include a new class of device. While 10 inch and smaller netbooks are still playing an important role in the field, there's been a new crop of devices with 11 to 12 inch displays selling for $600 or less. While these laptops including the Acer Aspire...

Windows 7 + Asus Eee PC 1008HA = improved battery life

Brad Linder — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:58:16 +0000

Update: It looks like these results may have been inaccurate, or at least misleading. I've run several other tests that seem to indicate that Windows 7 actually hurts battery life on at least two netbook models, including the Eee PC 1008HA. One nice feature in Windows 7 is that it gives users a bit more control over their power settings....

Brad Linder — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:33:14 +0000

It looks like the PC vendors (and Microsoft) have spoken, and the vast majority of Intel Atom powered netbooks with 10 inch displays are going to ship with Windows 7 Starter Edition. But there is at least one model that stands out from the crowd. Asus will begin offering two versions of the Asus Eee PC 1008HA tomorrow: One with...

Asus Eee PC netbooks with Windows 7 up for pre-order in Italy

Brad Linder — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:47:03 +0000

[/caption] Italian retailer fnac has started taking pre-orders for three Asus Eee PC models with Windows 7. The interesting thing is that while some of the models run the stripped-down Windows 7 Starter Edition, all three models get spec bumps. This is likely due to the fact that Microsoft has changed its hardware restrictions for cheap Windows licenses. To qualify...

Netbooks compared: HP Mini 1000 v 110, Asus Eee PC 1008HA v 1005HA

Brad Linder — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:35:41 +0000

The HP Mini 1000 and HP Mini 110 may look a lot alike at first glance. But the newer Mini 110 is a bit thicker and heavier than the Mini 1000.And if you don't beleive me, you can check out a series of photos posted by JMacalinao over at the MyHPMini forums comparing the two. It's worth pointing out that...

The Asus Eee PC 1008HA may have a super thin and light frame, but there's something else it has too: A screen which may be prone to cracking. DigiTimes reports that the company purchased some display panels from a secondary supplier due to high demand, and that these screens are more likely to crack.

Brad Linder — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:05:10 +0000

Most Asus netbooks have one or more access panels on the bottom that make it easy to upgrade the RAM or hard drive without dissecting the computer. The Asus Eee PC 1008HA does not. The 1008HA is the company's thinnest and lightest netbook with a 10 inch display, but in order to keep the laptop slim, Asus used a non...
