ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell 10.1-Inch Pearl White Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life Review

I bought this for my husband and we both love using it around the house and taking it on trips. I love that it has bluetooth. Printing from his laptop was such a pain because it didn’t have bluetooth-definitely a feature to look for, especially if you have a bluetooth printer. The battery lasts ~5-6 hours, or less if it’s been sitting around unplugged for awhile, but I don’t really need a computer for longer than a couple of hours at a time when I’m somewhere without a plug. Even if you go to a coffee shop or library, you can usually wait around for an hour or so and someone near an outlet will move. I guess it might not be ideal for long flights if you were planning to work the whole time. In my opinion, the only thing that could make it better was if it was a Mac, but I can bear a PC for the added convenience and the fact that it was SO cheap.

Better than expected. The keyboard is great. I don’t have any problems with the screen as some other users commented. Battery life seems sufficient although I don’t use it for long periods of time. Great size and weight. And, I love the blue color of the netbook.
