A new generation of low cost, lightweight laptops is rapidly becoming a global sensation. For many people around the world, owning a personal computer has long been considered a luxury. In the last couple years, manufacturers of mini laptops (also referred to as mini notebooks or mini notes) have managed to strip down a lot of the bells and whistles that come automatically with standard laptops, to make a lite version that fits in more peoples’ hands…and pocketbooks. Unlike previous computer products that aimed at reducing size and cost, these mini machines have powerful processors, substantial memory and come with all the basic software, entertainment options and Internet most people need.

I always thought of a netbook to take to campus and take notice of general academics, but my plans were accelerated when my desktop HP Pavilion has taken a turn for the worse.
I ordered VU1X specifications for the opaque screen, and the boy that was a good decision. I have no way had any problems viewing the screen in any lighting condition - including the nature.

I will try to keep this short and sweet.
Overall I'm very pleased with this netbook. I have a little 'time to study the various netbooks available today and thought the 1005HA-P had a nice mix of style, battery life, ergonomics and performance (which is basically the same for all the netbooks currently ).

I got my Asus netbook a month ago to save my MacBook for heavy things like Photoshop Elements. I have now relegated to a lighter duty as my friend at Starbucks.
It 'a good value, but do not respond as backup for my 13-inch-size keyboard of the MacBook. The difference in spacing between the keys that makes the difference. There is also a curiosity about it that makes anticipate my movements, how to change pages or e-mail sent before I'm ready. However, it will be the balance of the page if I read the New York Times on-line at Starbucks or checking my email.
