I owned so many difference brands laptop. HP, DELL, ACER, Lenovo. and recently i purchased this Asus Netbook. it's looks great, and working fine too. I did so many research and comparision before purchases. Most user likes it cuz the size and compact, also the price. and most complaint were saying it break down easily, and once it has the problem, warranty and customer service from the Asus is a hassle.
So finally i bought this HA1008 Netbook, with a very good price after promotion discount. and i love it after it received it. but after 3 months using it. problem started. First the swival got lost. so it wont hold the screen tightly. but it's ok. i can live with that. later on, the charger stoped working, so i call Asus. they say charger is not within the warranty. so i purchased a charger out my own pocket. another month later, the charging port is not working anymore. so i called ASUS, and it take me forever to get to them. everytime i call them take more than 30 minutes waiting on the line. finally they saying i can send it back for the warranty repair. but i have to pay for the shipping. so it cost me $15 to send it to them, took them 2 weeks to repair it and send it back to me. after i got it. i found out they did 'repaired' the problem only thing now everytime i have to hold my hand on the charger to charge it. and i call them back again to have it fix. they say it could be my charger problem. so i purchased another charger. its samething. i still have to hold the hand on the charger to charge it. so finally now i can send it back to them again to have it repair. but samething. i still have to pay for the shipping.
I regret that i should have purchased a Dell. so far Dell having the best customer service. and i wont have to pay the shipping.

just bought this red ASUS Eee 1015PED-PU17(-RD).
BLUF:
goods - so far unbeatable battery life, good size and light weight, blutooth ready
bads - horrible speaker (cannot overcome with earphone), awkward keyboard positions (prone to typos), poor at picking up weak wifi signals....
detail:
i bought it for travel purpose and not been happy carrying larger laptop (recently been using HP and macpro 15") due to carrying weight.
much happier about this little guys weight and size. i'm also nicely surprized about battery life. most of times reviews focus so much on technical aspects that combined use (heavy video playing>> web surf, and word processing) dont typically give practical info on "true" battery life. however i'm totally happy about battery life which i havent gone <50% battery life on typical 6 hours of heavy use.
i'm disappointed about audio problem. i read previous review about poor audio but i thought i could overcome by using earphone like my other laptops but i couldnt (even adjusting audio control to various recommended environment without a hope). just cant get loud enough. so bad enough for me to consider not buying ASUS again since i would have to carry an additional amplified speakers so that i can hear the media.
i would imagine keyboard issue is similar to using other netbooks - i'm keeping missing the shift key on right side and pushing arrow keys due to their proximity.
also i often work in areas with weak signals and often i would have hard time picking up signals when other laptops have lesser of an issue. since other netbook brands are not having similar problem (or lesser maybe), i think it's ASUS issue just like audio.

It's ok for surfing but if u want to load it up with programs as microsoft office and photoshop you are going to run slow. Other than that its fine for internet traffic.
