Asus Eee PC 1005HA

Introduced soon after the launch of the 1008HA, the 1005HA is a similar netbook device which consists of two distinct models: the 1005HA-M and the 1005HA-H. Based on the same MacBook Air-esque body as the 1008HA, the 1005HA is slightly thicker, allowing for access to the ports not found on the 1008HA. Similarly, it eliminates the other major annoyance of the 1008HA model, its non user-replacable battery issue. Replacing the lackluster 5-hour battery on the 1008HA, the 1005HA includes longer lasting 10 or 8-hour batteries, which also can be replaced. The device models will also cost somewhat less than the 1008HA. Their differences will be highlighted below:

Will ASUS honor warranty? After 3 months of gentle use, my screen turned into an abstract painting! The non-English speaking/e-mailing reps at ASUS say it is probably damage and will not honor warranty. I have had to ship it to them at my own cost to find out. More to come as to whether or not their warranty is any good!
