ASUS Eee PC 1002HA 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 10 GB Eee Storage, XP Home) Brushed Aluminized

Posted on April 8th, 2010 in Asus | No Comments »


i recieved my asus 1002h, been using it for 2 days and i am simply in love with it. It beats my hp mini 110 in ways i cannot explain

yes mine came with a defective speaker witch will be replaced but the rest just amazing first of all the shift key is in its proper place, i have a island keyboard since this model has 2 type of keyboards. The 2 cell battery managed to get 4h out of its charge witch beats my hp mini 110 3 cell 2h 30 min use. as for performance it does everything very well i even can play Sim 3 without problems

I can say the overall design great the screen amazing and very bright.

the only con is the ugly glossy bezel that should of been aluminim brushed and thiner it looks so fat appart that nothing to complain i give it a 5 star
and the speakers could sound better but that a small detail


i work mainly with a motorola ML 900 rugged device so for me this unit is very business feel, People around me all comment on how sexy it looks.

Asus 1002HA netbook, my emergency backup PC
I bought this 1002HA about 14 months ago, just to have on hand as an emergency backup PC, something to plug into my monitor and use for net shopping parts and whatnot to get my desktop back up and running, should that desktop ever blow a gasket. All I do is haul it out of the carry case once per week, turn on my MS bluetooth mouse, plug in the LAN cable (I'm not a wireless net guy), top up the charge on it and my Plextor PX-610U slimline burner, update the minimal software I have installed (McAfee Security Suite, Firefox, Thunderbird), then put it back in the case. Easy duty for a netbook, so I don't have any complaints. The N330 is now available, so I'd get that instead if I was buying now.


Eee PC 1002HA
Nice compact Netbook..StarOffice is pretty much worthless. You really need the Microsoft Office packages in order to use documents imported to the Netbook..The RAM was upgraded to 2GB but it only reads 1GB.


Great
This netbook has worked out fine. The keyboard is surprisingly adequate, the track pad works fine (though I often use an external mouse), the screen is fine... Of course it's a very slow computer, but that's expected.

The packaging was unusually nice too -- I almost felt like it was an Apple product. The package includes a nice carrying sleeve, and the power cords have nice Velcro ties.

It is small enough to fit in a tote. I can take it to my home visits and type everything right up in the home and then download it at work. It is easy to use (once you get use to the small keyboard) I absolutely would recommend it to anyone who was looking for something handy and easy and small.

ASUS Eee PC 900HA 8.9-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel ATOM N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 10 GB Eee Storage, XP Home) Black

Posted on January 20th, 2010 in Asus | No Comments »


I had this 900HA Asus eee pc for about a year now. I wanted to wait for sometime before I gave a review. I bought this pc from Amazon. The shipment and packaging were great. It was free shipping. I bought it for 0. By the time I received the package, the price dropped to 0. About two or three years ago, this small little machine would have cost 00-00. As soon as Asus came out , I bought this brand new machine for dirt cheap. I am very happy with this machine. I can live with a few bad things:

1. The texts were very small. Elderly please be aware. I am constantly hit Shift + to increase text size then zoom back out.
2. When I first turned it on, it worked great. Surfing the web is pretty fast.
But as soon as I installed anti-virus software, it slow down to a crawl.
Forget about multi-tasking.
I used Symantec anti-virus, but it was slowing down the machine.
I then used microsoft free anti-virus. It was a little better, but microsoft anti-virus wasn't performed very well. It was constantly upgrading or freezing, ect.
I then used Online-armor antivirus. If I turned on all the features, the machine will slow down and a lot of popup. I only turned on anti-virus and fire-wall feature only. Now, surfing the web and using Microsoft office are enjoyable. Once in awhile the machine freeze. I don't know why. I just pressed on/off button to restart window.
3.Watching movies or YouTube were very jerky. I don't remember exactly what I did, but I remembered to turn everything to normal (not maximum.) Video and audio stop jerking.

But, for the price of 0 I am very happy with this machine. I am also appreciate that Asus put the XP-OS on the protected hard drive. One time this machine got infected with a serious virus. I just reinstalled from scratch. I worked fine after that. Great machine. I am very happy with it.

Asus EeeBox EBXB202-BLK-X0081 Desktop PC (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home) Black

Posted on January 4th, 2010 in Asus | No Comments »


I use this more as a home theater component then a desktop pc. If used as a computer, it would be a very basic one. It comes loaded with Windows XP, IE and Adobe Reader.

I had problems with connecting devises to my home theater using a Linksys router so I thought I would give this a try. I have it placed behind my LCD and it is quiet enough to run 24/7 (I will find out next electric bill if the low energy usage claims are accurate). I love all the convenience this unit provides but please note that it requires a wireless keyboard and mouse for the pc options to be used when connected to a home theater.

I can now listen to downloaded music through my home theater system (Onkyo) instead of my pc speakers. Love the difference! I also love being able to watch downloaded videos on my LCD (with HDMI cables). The best part? This EeeBox doesn't care about the source of the videos like other devices (Apple TV for one).

The Eeebox does stick sometimes which is annoying. Only 4 USB ports are provided and they go fast. Although port hubs are inexpensive and an easy fix, I don't like adding yet another device. Hopefully this will be addressed in later versions. I am thinking of trading this in for a Cisco-Valet Plus Wireless Hotspot which doesn't provide the same options but will allow me use the wireless devices I already own at a lower cost.

Dandy machine at a great price
I purchased this to replace my dad's aging homebuilt PC. I had such a good experience I will do the same for my sister in law's machine with one.

Pros: comes with XP home, which is a good enough version of XP. Not much crapware on it. The 1.6GHz atom is quite sufficient for web surfing and office work; the 1GB ram is enough, as is the 160GB disk. The machine is really quiet and produces little heat. It comes with a VESA mount so you can hook it onto the back of your flat screen.

Cons: disk layout is odd; a 40GB C drive and a 100GB D drive, plus a restore partition - the problem is that your average PC user won't know what to do with a D drive, it would have been better laid out with a big C drive. No built in CDROM, you can buy a USB CDRom for , but it doesn't seem to want to boot from the CD, so you can't replace the OS easily. 4 USB ports is also rather limiting.

I really like this machine, and being a cheap PC aficionado, it gave me a warm feeling to buy something cheaper than I could build it.


Great small factor pc, runs ubuntu out of the box
I was able to install ubuntu 10.04 lucid using the live cd iso and unetbootin. to create a bootable sdcard. Everything works fine with the default install, including wireless, ethernet , sound and video. 1 GB RAM is more than enough for running ubuntu.

The keyboard and mouse included are lowest quality. not comparable to HP or Dell keyboards. The mouse is sold as laptop travel size in the market.

One annoying feature(!) I have realized in asus mainboards is that they do not cut the power to usb port when you turn the pc off, the support response is that this is a feature to charge your i**d etc without the need of a wall charger..

The pc is very quiet and the fan is inaudible even though running boinc to crunch grid computing projects..

I would give it a 5 star if it came with a better keyboard and mouse.



This is a great little computer
We now have two of these little machines in the office. First bought one to use as the "bookkeeping server". It turned out so well that we replaced an aging computer with a second EeeBox.
What we like is:
1. Windows XP (albeit Home version).
2. Almost no "hijacking free soft ware".
3. Quiet, just about no sound at all.
4. Low power consumption, no heat (these computers are running 24/7).
5. Baby foot print; we have them mounted on the back of their monitors.
We have both a wired and a wireless network in the office and are using both. The "bookkeeping server" is also the server for the SqueezeBox that plays our music.
We upgraded the RAM to 2 GB. Looking at the EeeBox it looks like Mission Impossible to open it. Type "eeebox memory upgrade" into Google and you will find that it is not.


Great low cost PC
I bought this device as I am development some Excel templates. I am a big MAC user and found that the templates I generated in Office 2008 for the MAC looked different than on a PC using Excel 2007. But when the templates are developed on Excel 2007 for the PC they look fine on a MAC with 2008. So I had to break down and buy a PC, but I did not want to spend a lot of money. I also have a big monitor (HDMI 1920 x 1200) with great resolution that I did not what to degrade the view when using my PC. So this product turned out to be perfect for my needs.

It does not run at "breakneck" speeds but it does have a digital DVI monitor output. I bought it for $[...] delivered on Amazon with a $[...] rebate. Hard to beat getting a PC with Windows XP for only $[...]!!

It has it own OS that is not Windows XP that you have to work around in the beginning to get it to boot Windows XP. Their OS is focused on using the PC to watch Internet TV, that is the reason for the DVI port.

I could not be happier!!

Easy to hook up, tiny, and fast enough for the usual tasks - browsing, running Outlook Express, word processing and the like. I like the less-than-25W power consumption. It's very quiet, and did I mention how SMALL it is?

The much talked-about "Express Gate" boot up feature doesn't seem very worthwhile to me, but it might be to someone else. Booting into XP with this box is not much slower.

I don't think this machine will run demanding games, and with 1G of memory it won't do fifteen things at once. But if you need the basics, 160G of space, and don't want to weep over your electric bill if it gets left on overnight, then this is a great choice.

And it's not running Vista. That's a selling point.

Addendum: Now I have 2 - my wife continues to use the first one happily, and the second is my print, music, and home automation server. I rarely say this about Microsoft, and maybe Asus gets some of the credit, but this machine was a dream to set up.

Handy backup computer
I bought this because my good computer with Windows XP crashed for the last time, could not be revived, and my expensive laser color printer would only run on XP. When I looked for another one with XP, they were hard to find since most have newer Windows versions. It is small and slim, smaller than my notebook, comes with lightweight, full size keyboard and mini mouse, and it started right up with my flat screen monitor. I bought a Belkin USB external dialup modem for about since this comes without a modem, and it connected right up to the internet. It looks like it is set up for wireless, but I can only get dialup where I am. It runs my Photoshop, scanner, and color laser printer and everything else I had on my big computer. You will need a multi port USB connector if you want to run many things at once, since it has only 4 USB ports and the monitor, mouse, keyboard, and modem take up 4. I also added an external USB CD drive that I already had that takes up a port. The only drawback I can see is that it slows way down if you try to scan or print when the Norton Internet Security scan comes on. It is quite a bargain for the price.


great!
a great little computer. It is so small it was perfect for what we needed.


Well thought, well designed, sub-par on-line performance
As much as I regret it, I have no choice but to return this machine because of its unacceptable online performance. But, let me first provide a brief account of my experience with the EeeBox... Desktop PC.

Setup:
------
Very easy. The machine comes in a nice little box that hosts its body, the USB keyboard, USB mouse, desktop stand, mounting bracket if it is to be attached to a monitor, Wi-Fi antenna, DVI to VGA adapter, power adapter, manuals, disks, etc. Everything is very tightly and securely packed.

For the physical setup you may need a flat and a Phillips screwdriver if the PC is to be mounted on the back of a monitor. I didn't even notice until the Asus came that certain monitors allow for the installation of a mounting bracket on their back - apparently this is a standard - and the little Asus can be made to sit there - 4 screws to attach the bracket to the monitor and the bracket itself has ONE thumb screw that's sufficient to attach the PC's body to it.

There is only a DVI interface for the video but the supplied DVI-VGA adapter takes care of those monitors that do not support DVI.

The Wi-Fi antenna is easily attached (screwed in) to the body. To my surprise, my white box came with a black antenna but, since I decided to keep it hanging on the back of the monitor, the color mismatch did not bother me.

Once the keyboard and mouse are plugged in and the machine is powered up Windows XP installs itself. It's as easy as providing the user's name.

The manual explains exactly how to set up the Wi-Fi and/or the wired network connection.

The entire setup, physical and software can be completed in less than one hour and it presents no major challenges.

A BIG plus about the setup is that practically there is ZERO bloatware. No AOL, Norton Whatever or software that's set to expire in 30 days appears to be running. In fact, the only thing that you see on the desktop, once the XP installs is the Explorer icon, the trash can and, I believe, the Adobe reader.

Features and performance:
------------------------
On the PC's sides there are 4 USB ports of which 2 are taken by the keyboard and the mouse, an Ethernet port, DVI port and, I believe, a media card slot - didn't check exactly which standards are supported.

The optical mouse, while small, appears to be working well. The small keyboard is not 'typist quality' but it's usable. Of course, keyboards and mice are easy to replace.

The machine, as expected, is very quiet and it stays cool while running.

There are no speakers but audio in and out ports are present to allow for headphones/speakers and a microphone or some other audio source.

There is no CD/DVD/BD drive but one could be easily attached via the USB.

As far as running installed sapplications, performance appears to be good. However, any application that involved an on-line component had trouble running. My Wi-Fi router is providing for several computers, a PS3, an online printer and a PSP prior to EeeBox's arrival and performance was always adequate for each unit. The EeeBox, while properly configured - and the Wi-Fi monitor did show near-100% signal strength - was barely communicating with the outside world. It was consistently slow while its other fellow machines on the network were as happy and as fast as ever. It took me a couple of hours and several tries simply to install Google's Chrome browser. The Asus 'upgrades' site seemed to take its time to the extent that, several hours later, a 10MB upgrade received about one third of the data over HTTP and FTP failed altogether. The Adobe Flash player installed itself in about 20 minutes that that's how long it took for a Java update. Amazon's site was slow and so were Yahoo, CNN, Google News. All of the above was within the context of other of our computers whizzing along without any problems whatsoever. I did not test a 'wired' connection.

Conclusion and recommendation:
------------------------------
When ordering this machine I was aware of its lacking a CD/DVD drive and speakers and its CPU, graphics and memory limitations and I accepted those limitations. But, as I stated from the beginning, I am returning it because of its unacceptably poor online performance over Wi-Fi. It is possible that there was something not quite right with this particular box so everyone should be aware that I am evaluating ONE specific machine here, the one that I received.

It is possible that the performance is better over a wired connection but I did not test that.

Had this machine performed better online, it would have been an easy 5-stars for design, ease of setup and functionality.

ASUS Eee PC 1000H 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home) Sakura Pink

ASUS Eee PC 1000H 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home) Sakura Pink


After owning this netbook for half a year now, I can confidently say this is a quality, sturdy laptop. It's been tossed, dropped, and thrown up on, and yet it operates fine and without a glitch or scratch.

I guess part of the reason so much has happened is that it's small and easy to carry around, and as a student I use it outside a lot. One day I came home holding groceries in one hand, and the netbook and a textbook in the other. Mistaking it for my textbook due to their equally small size, I carelessly tossed the netbook onto to the floor. It wasn't until I saw a flash of pink flying through the air that I realized I had made a horrible mistake. Thankfully there wasn't even a scratch because the floor was carpeted. Another time, it fell off my table when I tripped on the power cord (okay, maybe I'm just clumsy), there was a nasty, flap sound of spat. Once again the laptop survived; all that came of it was that the keyboard was cleaned as all the debris fell out.

What really impressed me was the last incident, when a drunk friend threw up all over it. And I don't mean some of her vomit splashed onto the netbook, I mean she had it in her lap when she threw up and the poor thing got a full dousing. The USB drives, etc were filled, and the keyboard was just nasty... After thoroughly sanitizing it with Lysol and rubbing alcohol 6-7 times, and airing it out over night, it is once again good as new. Miraculously I think. Although a long time will pass before I can get over the fact that she threw up all over it...

Stories aside, I love everything about it. It took me a week to get used to its keyboard though, so the tiny right shift key doesn't bother me anymore. The touchpad is centered to the laptop, not the keyboard. It used to get annoying when I type because I would accidentally touch it. To fix this, I cut out a strip of screen protector and aligned it to the right corner of the touch pad. I wish I can post a picture to show everyone what it looks like. But anyway, it hasn't bothered me since.

Review after 18 months
I bought this model in December 2008, along with the memory upgrade, thinking "Red", and found it "Pink" on arrival. I didn't mind, but the wife looked it and said "Pink!! = Mine!!", and so it's mostly hers. We've had it for over 18 months and have had absolutely zero problems with it. We use it with a Logitech Traveller Mouse because we both prefer mice to any touch-pads, but the pad and buttons work fine. Everyone complains about the small Shift key, but I'd prefer to emphasize that the left-hand keys (Ctrl, Fn, Win, Alt) are correctly arranged, unlike a lot of systems these days, including the eeeBox, which have Fn, Ctrl, Win, Alt, meaning problems cutting and pasting!

Like one of the other reviewers, it's been dropped - one time while open and running off a hospital bed and onto the iron feet of a table that patients eat off. After that we had some vertical coloured lines on the screen for about a month and looked into replacing the screen ... but the screen repaired itself - nice feature!

I use it for ripping cassettes and records and then burning CDs, and find that it is a little slow writing large (e.g. 1.5 GB) WAVe files to disc, but that is literally the only complaint I can think of! We're looking at buying another.


the best you'll ever get
the best you'll ever get i got this for my little girl she needing one to help in school and this is a perfect thing for any thing it has a built in wireless LAN and camera very good speakers to talk and safe and really fun to work .... she loves it.she has hired her grads at home ..


Great little computer!
I highly recommend this Netbook. It has the best features for the money that I've been able to find. It's cute too, but that's just a bonus. The size is perfect and I have had no problems with the size of the keyboard. I was able to load Office 2007 with no problem. I am very glad to be able to find a computer with XP too! I think if you look you will find this is the best for the money.

ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9.5 Hour Battery Life


Now I certainly have forgotten to post a review about this netbook when I first got it back in April 2009. I honestly have to say that after a year and some months have passed on by, this little guy is still going on strong. I have dropped it about 2 times since I got it and it still works in perfect condition. No regrets on having this product. I feel bad for the those that have had bad luck with theirs, but I haven't had any issues with mine.

    I Love this Product! Add RAM before Using!
    More RAM is the key for usability/speed! Fast and reliable ... I even took out the 300 Gig drive and replaced with a 500 Gig drive. Well made and reliable.


    The on that started it all
    I would give this baby 5 stars. i wont bore you into a long detailed review as there are plenty on here. But what I will do is tell you the ONLY problem you will run into this thing.

    Buggy software for their wireless b/g card. It is on conflict with the asus eeepc software. Sometime you have to restart it to get it to run. Otherwise the best netbook of its time.

    ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - 9.5 Hour Battery Life

    ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - 9.5 Hour Battery Life


    Now I certainly have forgotten to post a review about this netbook when I first got it back in April 2009. I honestly have to say that after a year and some months have passed on by, this little guy is still going on strong. I have dropped it about 2 times since I got it and it still works in perfect condition. No regrets on having this product. I feel bad for the those that have had bad luck with theirs, but I haven't had any issues with mine.

    I Love this Product! Add RAM before Using!
    More RAM is the key for usability/speed! Fast and reliable ... I even took out the 300 Gig drive and replaced with a 500 Gig drive. Well made and reliable.


    The on that started it all
    I would give this baby 5 stars. i wont bore you into a long detailed review as there are plenty on here. But what I will do is tell you the ONLY problem you will run into this thing.

    Buggy software for their wireless b/g card. It is on conflict with the asus eeepc software. Sometime you have to restart it to get it to run. Otherwise the best netbook of its time.

    ASUS Eee PC 1000HD 10-Inch Netbook (900 MHz Intel Celeron M 353 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, Linux, 6 Cell Battery) Fine Ebony


    I bought this to replace a stolen laptop - my husband jokes that I lucked out, because this netbook is so much better than what was stolen from me.

    Pluses: Windows XP (not the dreadful Vista - and no charge for "downgrading to XP" as you would pay at Dell). Full-sized reasonably intuitive keyboard to which it is easy to adjust. Very light weight - 3.2 lbs. fits in my briefcase and purse. Fits on the tray table in the airplane, even if some evil person reclines into your space! Long battery life; I've got about 5 hours with normal computing. My previous laptop was good for only less than 2 hours. It's incredibly inexpensive for all these features - great as an adjunct to a regular standalone computer. It doesn't have a disk or CD drive, but does come with several USB ports, so it's easy to hook up outside drives and - get this - there's even an SD-card reader for your camera when you're on the road.

    My happiest purchase of 2008. I hate the geeky EEE logo on the front, but solved that problem by taping my business card over it.

    Did I mention it's 0 cheaper than the laptop that was stolen from me?

The Eee PC 1000HD also features a 900 MHz Ultra Low Voltage Intel Celeron M processor for a good blend of power and battery management, an 80 GB hard disk drive (HDD), 1 GB of RAM, 1.3-megapixel webcam integrated into the bezel above the LCD, 54g Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g/n), integrated Bluetooth connectivity, Secure Digital memory card slot, multiple USB ports, a VGA output for connecting to a monitor.

This netbook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks.

It offers a choice of performance and power consumption modes for easy adjustments according to your computing needs. The Super Hybrid Engine toggles between the following three modes:

    • High Performance Mode (high performance with some power savings)
    • Super Performance Mode (maximum performance)
    • Power Saving Mode (maximum power savings and minimum noise)
    Designed specifically for mobile computing, the Celeron M 353 has a 900 MHz speed that's complemented by a 400 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and a 512 KB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

    Online Storage from ASUS
    With this Eee PC, ASUS also provides 10 GB of online storage (easily accessible via a desktop icon), which enables you to download up to 5 GB of data per day.

    Great Portable Computer
    Pros: Fast, portable (small footprint), easy to use, ready to go right out of the box. I love it!

    Cons: None that I've found


    nice product...and you do not need Microsoft anymore
    I needed this small machine for my work travels and I wanted to get away from the Microsoft trap. I use Apple at home, MS for work, but thought it was time to try Linux. I am very satisfied so far. Don be afraid to use this operating system, and this Asus netbook. Very nice!


    Great Mobility!
    Kickass battery. Very compact and light. Ample ports: USB, VGA, SD card, ethernet, audio. The built-in camera is not the greatest - but it is there and useful. The operating system looks a lot like windows, but you don't get Microsoft Office. Bluetooth and wi-fi are useful, but it's really slow at connecting to the wi-fi networks (it has taken me up to 10 minutes to get a glimpse of a connection). And oh, there are weird keyboard shortcuts to switch between languages and stuff that get in the way when you're typing.
    Overall, the purchase is well worth it's modest price!
