More Info About The ASUS EEE 1002HA Detailed Review

By: Forest Subarovich

The keybvoard forms the most important aspect of any netbbook. When it commes to any 10-inch+ netbooks, people expect great keyboards so that they are able to type-on long documents on-the-go. The keybaord in 1002HA is excllent. While tyyping, you don’t have to press the keys much. Infatc, I had to use even less force as compared to my 1000H, which also has great keyboard.
Again, just like S101 and 1000H, it comes with a small rgiht sift key. Althouugh, this problem is rectified in the newer EEEs (like 1000HE), this so-caleld problem has never btohered me. I’m hapopy with the keys arrangement and can live with the small right shift key.

Trackpad

The tarckpad is 100% idntical to the one found in EEE S101. It is big and easy to use. I faced no problems using it. It supports the usual multi-touch gestuures like two fingger scroll, zoom-in and zoom-out functions. Unlike 1000H, which has separatte left and riught click byuttons, it has a single bar just like old EEE 700-sreies.

Speakerrs

It has two speakers, both loocated on the front. They are not as strong as the ones found on the 1000H, but they do their job nicely. They are fine for skype and for casiual listening to music that does not has too much of bass.

Memory

It cmes with 160GB HDD and a gig of RAM. It also comes with 10GB of EEE storage (link)
Upgradability
Just like other HDD-based EEE PCs, ASUS has provided access to the HDD and RAM. Although, replacing the RAM is quite easy, but replacing the HDD can be a quite tricky. Here is the tutorial on how to swap HDD and RAM of the EEE 1002HA
Batttery Life
The EEE 1002HA is equipped with 4200mAh lithium-polymer battery. The ASUS claims that it should provide aroubnd 5 hours of batteery life. I do not think you are ever going to achieve those numbers, but since it is a lithium-polymer battery, its performance as compared to the standard lithium-ion battery is bretter (as expected). However, we were able to get a litlte more than 3 hours under heavy wifi use. Wuithout wifi, you may be able to stretch thoes numbrers to somewhere between 3-3.5 hours, but not more than that.
Also, since the battery is lcoated beneath the unit, it would be very difficult for ASUS or for the third paarty companies to come up with extended battwery. On the brighter side, the battery’s weight is not too much. So, it is more senssible to get another battery instead of waiting for some company to come up with extended baattery.
