I thought this said anus

8/10/2009 2:16:20 PM

anus on the mind huh son?

8/10/2009 2:17:49 PM

it's not bad...i wouldn't do it because i hate white (they get dirtier faster and look dated) and 8.9" is waaaaaaaaaaay too small for me

you're only going to get about 2 hours on the battery, so you may want to spend another $50 on a 10400mAh battery in order to get a more usable 5 hours or so

Yours is on my mind, yeah.

so i have this exact product, but in black, and only with the 16GB drive.

i have absolutely loved it so far. awesome for traveling (hauled mine through NZ with no worries).

8/10/2009 2:24:53 PM

hmmm... except for the white, i'd be all about it

8/10/2009 2:25:54 PM

8/10/2009 2:26:23 PM

yeah im wishing it was black....

for the specs tho, is it a decent deal?

8/10/2009 2:39:02 PM

yes, sans the color i would go for it

8/10/2009 2:41:27 PM

seems to be a ok price

google the model and see what others are saying....

also wrong forum (should be in tech talk)

8/10/2009 2:42:59 PM

I'm using the same one right now (except windows xp). It's a good little machine.

8/10/2009 2:46:09 PM

^^ nah i don't think "is this a good price" threads warrant a tech talk thread

8/10/2009 3:09:13 PM

It's not bad ... but, for $100 more I'd get this:

It's got the atom processor, a 6 cell battery, Windows, and a 160gb hard drive instead of the 20gb ssd ....

8/10/2009 4:21:41 PM

i got the lenovo s10-2 back when the had it on slickdeals for $300, i love it

8/10/2009 4:24:24 PM

Friend has one of these he uses all the time. Good for a web PC, camera is added bonus.

Not a big fan of the tiny keyboard.

8/10/2009 4:34:48 PM

decided to wait on a black one

8/11/2009 8:04:10 AM

^ i think that's a good choice...with the ION platform samsungs coming out in a few weeks (and other manufacturers following closely after that), these old(er) models will keep dropping in price and you'll be able to get a 10" in black for about the same price before thanksgiving (that's my prediction, anyway)

8/11/2009 8:07:45 AM

^ sounds good...it looks like the 9" and 10" models have the same resolution, 1280 X 600...is that extra 1" really that helpful?

all i know is i want black and >=8GB SSD, the rest doesn't matter that much to me at this point. Atom would be nice though...we'll see what deal pops up next.

I picked up the 1005HA this weekend for $299 at Best Buy, actually a decent deal from them for once tax-free, in the dark blue. 10.1" screen, 160 GB standard drive, Atom N270, 1 GB RAM. Like it so far--nice bright screen, keyboard is kinda small but still usable, light and compact, seems well put together. And the dark blue finish is really nice looking actually. It has the smaller 3-cell (4 hour) battery, but crazy battery life isn't a huge deal for me.

I wouldn't want anything smaller than what I got though. I've tried out a couple 8" and 9" netbooks and the keyboard has crossed the line into too small for me to comfortably use, and the extra 1" of screen real estate does help a bit.

8/11/2009 11:11:42 AM

yeah, i can't imagine wanting less than 10", if for no other reason than the keyboard

i'm pretty sure my next laptop will be a 12.1" or 13.3" model...14.1" is great and i'll never have one bigger than that, but i could stand to go a bit smaller
