Purchase ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10.1-Inch Pearl White Netbook - 7 Hour Battery Life

I purchased this computer as my primary machine and I couldn't be happier. It can handle every task I need (although a touch slower than my previous ginormous laptop with Core 2 Duo Processor and Wireless N) the portable size definitely makes up for the difference!

I especially love the built in SD card that hides flush inside the unit - I have a very large capacity card inside and use it as a daily back up to my most precious data. The battery life is incredible and really lasts nearly as long as advertised! I find the screen size perfect...any less would be too small. My only gripe is the feet on the bottom make it so much thicker than it needs to be.

If using this as a primary computer, there are a couple accessories I would highly recommend - portable keyboard (I have the silicone roll-up style), optical travel mouse (I use a Microsoft cordless optical), and an external DVD drive. I am very petite with tiny hands and I even sometimes find typing a lot to be a challenge so the portable keyboard I found is very compact, inexpensive and does the trick when I have a lot of typing. The keyboard really is nearly full size of a standard keyboard but since I type all day on a standard size keyboard at work, using this one throws me off for fast typing. The portable mouse speaks for itself. And although I've had my Eee for 5 months now I just this week purchased an external DVD drive and only wish I'd done it sooner. It is a total pain to transfer installation CDs (Quickbooks, Roxio Media Creator, Office 2007, etc.) from their CDs onto an SD card...you get the idea. Oh, I also did the 2GB upgrade the day I bought it - super easy & cheap, definitely recommend this as well.

Bottom Line: fabulous deal on a great machine and everywhere you go people will marvel and be jealous of your teeny machine amazed that it can do everything their big monster can do! Everyone in my house is jealous and wants one of their own. My lucky 10 year old daughter will be getting one for Christmas this year (shh-don't tell her, it's a surprise!).
