In the world of Netbook computers, it can be difficult to tell one from another. In the world of netbook computing, there is often not a lot separating one device from another. Such is not the case with the Asus Eee PC 1005HA which distinguishes itself in a number of ways. The exceptional battery is likely the single best reason to choose this netbook but all in all it offers a package that can’t be beaten.

My ASUS Eee PC is over a month old. This means it’s ready to be reviewed by yours truly. As usual, let’s first look at the stats. Also, this comes with a partitioned hard drive. It has the main partition with the OS, as well as a secondary partition to store files on. The reason it’s setup this way is because there is an automated recovery service that will clear the first hard drive if necessary. This Eee PC has a built-in install for Windows XP. There are also several other partitions, but they’re not visible to the user — and you won’t need to touch them unless you plan on making additional partitions for Linux or other operating systems.

For a company that delivers so many great innovations, Asus seems to be stuck in a rut when it comes to the design and names of its netbooks. It's hard to find fault with the Eee PC 1005HA Seashell. Sure, it's not as impressive as the larger, slightly more powerful Acer Ferrari One, but it's a great all-rounder and comfortable to use, and it also offers fantastic battery life. As such, it's up there with the best of the netbook bunch.

As one of the most popular, and critically hailed Netbooks to ever hit store shelves, the Asus 1005HA has been a go-to choice for many shoppers for what seems like forever (but in computer industry terms, is actually about six months). The Asus 1005HA remains one of the best overall Netbooks available, but this model, even with a 3G antenna, is starting to feel a bit long in the tooth.

Physically, this netbook looks beautiful. It’s like a laptop had a big baby and this was the result. Fortunately, it isn’t THAT small (do not think that this netbook is big though, it’s very portable!). I say fortunately because this means the keyboard is pretty big (92% of a full sized keyboard and it’s ergonomic). Something to note about the keyboard.

ASUS - Eee PC 1005HA SeaShell review
Source: IT Reviews Archive.org version
ASUS made the idea of the netbook fashionable with its Eee PC range and since then the Eee production line has been in overdrive. The company's relatively new SeaShell collection will probably turn out to be its most popular yet, thanks to a mixture of portability, chic good looks and exceptional battery life. Probably ASUS's finest Eee PC to date, the 1005HA boasts much of the style and performance of its predecessor but with an enviably enhanced battery life, user-friendly keyboard and unobtrusive touchpad.

Asus Eee PC 1005HA, solid battery life and reasonable value
Source: PC Authority Archive.org version
In the final reckoning, it's easy to overlook the 1005HA's less-than-stellar display. It's a good-looking, incredibly well-featured netbook at a price that leaves many of the pricier models on test looking distinctly out of touch with reality. Samsung's N110 noses ahead at the final furlong, but Asus deserves hearty congratulations for keeping the low-cost netbook dream alive.

Asus vs Acer Netbooks
Source: Bright Hub Archive.org version
To summarize: The hardware and pricing are a toss up. All models are available online but selection is limited in stores, so look at where they are available. The Asus has a better form with their flatter, wider keys and new innovative touchpad and better portability if you are willing to shell out the extra $100 for the better battery up front. The Acer has had less durability issues and has a form that some would prefer to the Asus, particularly if you are going to use a usb mouse and bypass the touchpad altogether.

80% ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-P Seashell Netbook
Source: Mobile Tech Review Archive.org version
Take the Eee PC 1005HA-P for a test drive and it's easy to understand why ASUS is still at the top of the market. The low price for a feature-rich (if one can say that about a netbook) machine, fantastic keyboard, fast performance, good driver support and on-board utilities make the 10005HA-P a top pick. The netbook is attractive and the 10.5 hour battery means you really can go all day away from AC. We only wish that it were easier to access the hard drive-- open up the netbook and it's a cramped mess of cables, circuit boards, ribbon cables and double-sided sticky tape holding the keyboard that doesn't smack of high quality build methods. That said, it isn't plastered with tape on the inside as is the Eee PC 1008 and most folks will never open up their machine to appreciate (or not) the internal aesthetic.

Does yet another Eee PC do the brand proud? When Asus' original Eee PC Seashell 1008HA appeared, we were bowled over by the machine's incredible size and usability. Asus has now created an even more portable model, by producing the 1005HA which features a slightly bulkier chassis, but also a better 6-cell battery. Despite the slightly larger chassis, the extra battery power offered by the Asus Eee PC Seashell 1005HA will certainly appeal to those after all-day usability from their netbook. This is a great product and one that offers a valid alternative to other 6-cell carrying machines.

The Asus Eee PC range of netbooks has undergone a design and a name change recently, which we’ve been told will be carried throughout all the upcoming family of Eee PCs. This "Seashell" design reflects exactly that, a seashell, with its curved lid and glossy exterior that’s really highlighted in the white version of these netbooks. The 1005HA is slightly marred by the lower powered CPU and battery life in our netbook, although the shipping unit has been confirmed to last up to 8.5 hours. The new clamshell design we first saw in the 11.6-inch screen 1101HA was a welcomed change, as they all look now much more like a laptop and less like a budget portable device.

Asus Eee PC 1005HA – probably the best 10″ netbook on the market

All the above are backed up by the reviews given by the current owners of this device. If you look on the forums you’ll mostly get but good things about it. And also, if you check on Amazon, you’ll see that the black and blue EEE PCs 1005HA are the best sold netbooks on that store, with a mark of 4.3 out of 5 from actual buyers. And that’s something other similar devices just can’t beat.

ASUS has introduced a large number of netbooks and the Eee PC 1005HA is an incremental improvement that makes for a very affordable netbook with extremely long running times. The downside to this is the larger battery pack that provides such long running times also gives this one of the thickest profiles in the netbook market. Still, those looking for long run times and great networking should really check out the new seashell design from ASUS.

Over in Cupertino, the Apple MacBook Air has a characteristic teardrop-like profile, being a little chubbier in the back and tapering to a point in the front. Although the guys in Taiwan may not completely acknowledge it, I’m thinking that they derived a little bit of design inspiration from Apple on this front. At least it isn’t quite as blatant as what MSI came up with at CES 2009 with their effort dubbed as the “MacBook Air Clone“. I don’t have the older Eee PC on hand for a side-by-side comparison, but the profile does appear to be slightly tapered on the 1005HA. The overall thickness has been marginally reduced, but this is pretty marginal based on my memory.

If we were forced to chose between the two, we’d pick the 1005HA. Although the Li-Polymer battery in the 1008HA provides a perfect weight-to-battery-life ratio, the fact is that even at 1.27kg, the lower-end model isn’t going to be an uncomfortable burden. The extra USB port makes a big difference if you like to plug in, say, a mouse, a USB storage device and a 3G dongle all at the same time. The extra couple of hours of battery may seem like overkill if you’ve been struggling on with only a couple of hours of battery from an early netbook generation, but to be able to rely on your battery for a full day is a real game changer.

The Eee PC 1005HA is ultimately lined up to replace the 1000HE that continues to sell well. To follow in its shoes, Asus has taken the unusual step of releasing two 1005HA models to cater for different price points. The cheaper N270 Atom-based version that we reviewed doesn’t match the 1000HE in terms of specs and battery life, but does come with a nicer lightweight design. We enjoyed our time with the Asus Eee PC 1005HA (N270). It offers a contemporary design, crisp matte display, good build quality and decent battery life compared to the majority of netbooks out there.

For the price, the ASUS 1005HA offers a lot of very unique and interesting features that you won't find on other netbooks including support for 802.11n networking and Bluetooth 2.1 + AD2P support for wireless audio streaming.  Not only that, but it has a sexy seashell design (hence the name of course) and great battery life (though not up to the 10 hours quoted by ASUS exactly) for a price under $400.  There were a couple of drawbacks, notably the trackpad and overall system performance, but in terms of best in class netbook devices, this is one of the top.

Overall, the Eee PC 1101HA is the best Eee PC yet. It maintains the light weight and thin design of the earlier Seashell models, while adding a screen that makes working with it feel much more like using a full-size notebook, all at a price not much higher than its smaller brothers'. Add unmatched battery life, and you have the best netbook value running. If we were to buy a netbook today, the 1101HA would be our choice.

Hey, it's only fair. At this point, Asus releases more netbooks than M&S has pants. I won't recap all the versions we've reviewed - or are about to review - but the netbook maker continues making nips and tucks with designs, making just enough variations to warrant a separate take of the same micromachine. Is the Asus Eee PC 1005HA Seashell for you, though? The Asus Eee PC 1005HA Seashell is a compromise. Granted, it's a good one for those that liked the sleek style of the Eee PC 1008HA, but wanted either to see less flash or to spend less cash. That said, you're seeing netbook prices driving down into the £300 range. So take a look for yourself to see if this fits your netbook needs.

The ASUS Seashell 1005HA netbook is the latest iteration of the Eee PC line that takes in a specification which we've become accustomed to in the last year or so. Shipping with a 10in screen (1,024x600 resolution); the now-ubiquitous Atom N270 chip; Intel i945GSE chipset; GMA950 graphics; 1GB RAM; 802.11b/g/n WiFi, SIM-card slot; 160GB mechanical HDD, and Windows XP Home, the competition is fierce because there are many clones that litter the market.

  We're very fond of the previous Asus Eee PC netbook, the 1008HA Seashell, which represents a radical design change from the boxy Eee PCs of the past. But its high-end price puts it out of reach for many, and its non-removable battery isn't as long-lasting as those we've seen in other Eee PCs. Asus' Eee PC 1005HA Seashell is a great netbook. While its performance is par for the netbook course, a great keyboard, attractive design and fantastic battery life help it to stand out from the crowd.

  It should also be noted that the Eee PC 1000HE is still a viable option over both "Seashell" netbooks. The specs list is largely the same, it packs the same great battery life (7 minutes more, actually) as found on the 1005HA and it's a tad less expensive in some outlets. You'll be sacrificing the heralded "Seashell" design and buying a netbook that pretty much looks like every other one, but if glitz and pizzazz don't matter much to you, we'd argue that the 1000HE could serve your needs for a little less, depending on the deals you find out there. The $389.99 1005HA is still crafted for those willing to pay a small premium for style. The difference between the value proposition of this netbook versus the 1008HA is that Asus sprinkles in a bit more utility with that style on the 1005HA. For us, it's a stellar mix of style and substance, and it's hard to not recommend if you're in the market for a netbook.

  The new ASUS Eee PC 1005HA Seashell might seem like "just another Eee PC" at first glance, but upon closer examination it's clear that ASUS has refined their popular line of netbooks with every variation. The Eee PC 1005A is one of the best eveolutions of the Eee PC line so far. Yes, on paper there's not much to get excited about with the latest Eee PC since it features the same processor, integrated graphics, and standard 10-inch display seen in almost every netbook, but in this case the whole may indeed be greater than the sum of its parts.

Asus hits nearly all the marks in the 1005HA, the latest version of its iconic Eee PC, highlighted by a 6-plus hour battery.

The latest Eee PC boasts the longest runtime of any netbook to date at a very good price.

An attractive design, comfortable keyboard with appropriately placed keys, and almost nine hours of runtime make the ASUS’ Eee PC 1005HA the most well rounded Eee PC to date. And at $389, it’s also one of the most affordable netbooks with its feature set. Those lusting after a thinner netbook will be better suited by the Eee PC 1008HA, but will have to pay $40 more and expect three hours’ less battery life. Though we still prefer the $399 Toshiba mini NB205’s more premium build and island–style keyboard, the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA is a very close second.

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).

N270:

Power efficient, cheap and slow Netbook single core CPU. Because of the in-order execution, the performance per MHz is worse than Core Solo or Celeron M processors.

10.10":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.

81.27%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
