They should drop the glossy black though...]]>Mar 4th 2009 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 4th 2009 6:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_vga

It's not common, but not completely unheard of, especially since it was used quite a bit in the pre-Intel Apple days.]]>Mar 4th 2009 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/
Dell Mini 10 vs ASUS EEE PC HA1008?


EEE PC HA10008
+smaller and slimmer in every dimension than little bulkier Mini 10
+sexy black look
+possible better screen quality than DELL (I owned 3 DELLs so I know :-)
+a lot lighter (1.1 vs 1.3 kg)
+sexy small for a 10inch (did I mentioned that already? ;-)


Mini 10
+HDMI port (not only plain obscure mini VGA on ASUS)
+new "Z" generation of ATOM processor and new chipset indicate it may be faster
+keyboard looks better on DELL
+"possibly" better screen resolution, rumored 720p is comming
+doesn't look so shiny and doesn't have the _horror_horrible_horrenous EEE logo on lid
+battery life may be better on DELL (1008HA just looks like it only have 3 cell in)
+may be cheaper (I don't care actually, just a reference, S101 was too expensive in UK)

thanks for oppinions]]>Mar 4th 2009 6:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/
The other thing is, that Dell Mini 10 is using 2,5'' factor of HD, which makes it possible to add any cheap SSD or Scorpio Black if you wish later (if they won't be fixed to last "forever" like its memory is).
I don't know what ASUS is using but if it is 1,8'' factor HD than it isn't big win as these drives are very hard to get with decent specs. If that is the case is no go for ASUS as I am planning to use Vista which is HD intesive, but much faster than XP if defined properly.

The 2nd question remain, screen resolution and factor (16:10? 16:9?). No go for "only" 600 vertical points these days.]]>Mar 4th 2009 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 4th 2009 6:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 4th 2009 6:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 4th 2009 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 4th 2009 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/

I'm really getting sick of the 4000 different Eee related products coming out from Asus. To me this resembles a much more stylish laptop and I cannot understand why Asus would put Eee on it instead of their own name? Yeah sure we gadget geeks know what Eee is but regular non tech savvy people don't and to me Eee just makes it look like some kind of cheap Chinese knock off. I wouldn't buy this now because I don't want to keep explaining to people that Eee is "part of Asus" just to add value to it so that they see it as something worth more than what that cheap and tacky Eee brand name makes it seem. This laptop in particular was surely worthy of an "Asus" branding. Better luck next time Asus.]]>Mar 4th 2009 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 4th 2009 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 8th 2009 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 4th 2009 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 4th 2009 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 4th 2009 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 4th 2009 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/the Eee logo is shittEee...

They updated the keyboard, put in the 280 atom and added a cell to the battery. Other than that everything looks to be the same.

As a side note, my 1002HA has a 2 cell Li-Pol battery and I'm getting 3.5 to 4 hours of use with Win7. So their 5 hour claim with a 3 cell is probably right.]]>Mar 4th 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 4th 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/Mar 4th 2009 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_vga There is no excuse for not using Mini-DVI!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-DVI

- HP Mini 2140 is very small and light (1.1kg), but poor battery life (3 cell included, 6 cell costs £80 extra) and expensive for a netbook (£450+), looks awesome if you're that sort tho. Also has a strange resolution.

- Eee 1000HE, still small but bigger than HP, bit heavier (1.5kg) as it comes with 6 cell battery giving 9.5hrs (seriously... http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/03/20/review_netbook_asus_eee_pc_1000he/page5.html) and about £300

I'd be very interested in this though if it has user-changeable battery and a 6 cell unit is available.
But I reckon the 1000HE will be the one I go for.]]>May 1st 2009 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.trustedreviews.com/laptops/review/2009/05/07/Asus-Eee-PC-1008HA-Seashell---World-Exclusive/p1]]>May 7th 2009 6:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/That being said it's a nicely built unit and heals solidly constructed... ]]>May 26th 2009 2:52PM
