First of all, this is an absolutely awesome netbook. It delivers whatever it promised ! The only three things about the netbook itself that I would want to change br /1.Would like a backlit keyboard.br /2.Improve the trackpad sensitivity, it takes getting used to and often zooms without the pinch.br /3.Make it less of a fingerprint magnet. br /br /Here's the bad experience I had. Within less than 2 weeks of purchase the battery power adapter/charger stopped working. The blue light on the power adapter would not come on. I called ASUS and after 20 minutes on the phone they issued me an RMA number to ship the adapter to them (I paid shipping). They said they would ship me a new adapter after verifying that this one did not work. It's been more than 10 days since they received my adapter and yesterday told me that they were waiting on some parts and it would be another 3 days till they could send me a new one. All this when I am about to hit the road, the reason I bought the netbook. I bought a ASUS compatible adapter online for which has allowed me to use the netbook, which I would not have been able to otherwise. So much for ASUS service !br /br /Make sure you order an extra power adapter/charger from somewhere else if you buy this product.

Customer Reviews

1005ha Poorly Built - Milford Josephs - Suwanee, GA USA
I bought this PC based on the overwhemingly positive reviews I have seen here, however I have had it for seven months now and except for the battery life, and I do have a very different experience. Listed below are the issues that I have with unit.br /br /1) The rubber pads at the bottom of the unit that is supposed to keep it from slipping, fell off within two months. (cheap glue, I guess)br /2) Screen too glarybr /3) Power adapter died and had to be replaced ( luckily Asus honored the warranty and sent a replacement) I however had to bear the cost of shipping.br /4) The design of the screen/lid is such that if you push it too far back,(sometimes you need to do this to get rid of glare on the screen) it kicks up the front and in order to type on the keyboard you need to hold down the unit,,,tough to hold down the unit and type at the same time.br /5) And the big one,,,, I had to send the unit back to be repaired because the ethernet port quit working, (wireless worked OK but ethernet port just would not work),,,,, this one cost me two days of my life working with tech support, and of course shipping. The repair that they did was to replace the motherboard. ,,,, OH and yeah,, I had to back up my data on an external drive. When I received the virgin PC back I had to reload all my programs. Remember the rubber pads I mentioned in item (1)? they sent me the PC back minus those, they chose not to fix it.br /In contrast, I have been using Dell PCs fo years now and I have never had to send one back. I have had this one for less than seven months and it is already falling apart..... NEVER AGAIN

Love the netbook but have battery and customer service issues - S. Shah -
I got this netbook in January (2010) and just over 30 days later, my adapter stopped working while I was traveling. I called Asus a few hours later and the light turned on when they asked me to plug it in again. I figured I was just using an outlet that was faulty. However, yesterday (2 months after initial problem), the same thing happened. It stopped working and then started again and then stopped again. I decided it was too unreliable and called Asus for a replacement. They said that I would have to pay to have it shipped to them (even though this is a known issue with their adapters) and then once they received it, it would normally take 2-3 days processing time before they would ship one out to me. However, they were currently out of stock and didn't know when the next shipment would be arriving from overseas. All they could do was put me on 'high priority' for a replacement. I did not find this acceptable customer service - I'm not risking sending them my adapter (even though it's faulty) when I don't know when I will be getting a replacement. For the principle of it, even if they had adapters in stock, I would not be willing to pay to have it shipped to them when it's under warranty and clearly a bad product. I would expect for a product like a computer, the company would overnight a replacement adapter and then have you send back the faulty one. This is what other companies typically do. I would not purchase another product from a company with such ridiculous customer service policies (the customer service techs were very nice). I will be buying a universal adapter instead of dealing with Asus. All that said, Amazon provided great customer service and was willing to accept the unit for a full refund (shipping on them) or give me a discount for the product.
