Netbook Reviews : Best Price : Best Buy

I received the Asus 1005HA net book 1 week ago. I am completely satisfied with it. It is everything it was hyped up to be. After getting rid of the bloatware I installed MS Office, using a small portable external CD/DVD drive. I then upgraded the ram to 2 gigs.

There is an application on the Asus website that allows you to change the wallpaper on Windows7 Starter. It is called System Setting Start-Up that allows you to use your own pictures as wallpaper.

UPDATE…IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS READING ALL THESE REVIEWS: This ASUS model has only been out since the end of October. Many negative reviews of this product mention owning it for much longer and so must not be about this exact machine.

Relevant context for this review: This is my first netbook and I have been a strong Mac OS convert for the past 2 and 1/2 years. I swore I would never purchase anything with a Windows OS again, but bought this because the price, size, and battery life were what I needed. I have the Blue one.

BOTTOM LINE: I have been playing with my netbook for three weeks (as of this Nov 23rd update to this review) and can say that it is everything I expected.
