This netbook is everything I thought it would be and I love everything about it. I purchased mine through Newegg for 20 bucks cheaper, free shipping and a free notebook mouse. They've since deactivated this netbook on their site, so I decided to review on here rather than let my opinion go to waste.
Right out of the box it's very snappy and processes everything super quick. Even with 1gb of ram it's runs most everything very well, (Firefox, OpenOffice, Pidgin and AVG to name a few.) Youtube videos stream well, but HD quality can be choppy (I'm not picky.)
The keyboard is intuitive and is easy to type on with even for someone with larger hands. As far as wireless signal, I've had absolutely no trouble picking up or maintaining strong signals. The screen is bright and the colors are vibrant. Probably the biggest surpirse from owning this is that it took no time at all to adjust from a 22" LCD to this little 10" screen.
Battery? I didn't expect to pull the advertised 7 hours, however, I can usually do a sweet 4.5-5 hours with regular use. I have not tested the built-in web-cam thoroughly, so I can't pass judgement on that.
I have only found two cons and they're, in my opinion, minor. As other reviewers here have said, there is no light for caps lock. Super minor, I know - but if you're typing in a password it can be frustrating. Keeping in mind that I've never owned a laptop before, the other "con" I've found is the trackpad. You could chalk it up that I'm not used to it yet, but it can be a little sporadic and is super sensitive. I use a mouse the majority of the time anyway, so it doesn't really bother me.
Overall, I give it 5 stars. I have no regrets buying this netbook and I would recommend it.Get more detail about ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10.1-Inch Pearl White Netbook - 7 Hour Battery Life.
