So let's say that you're in the market for a netbook, and you're willing to spend a decent chunk of money but not so much that you want to break the bank. As a result, you'll likely want a model that came out earlier in the year, and something that has a good number of storehouse (think non-solid state drive) and power for less than 0. Thankfully, the Asus 900Ha is here for you, sporting an Intel Atom 1.6 Ghz processor and Windows Xp Home Operating ideas squeezed into about 2 lbs and 7 oz. Not bad eh?
Design
The 900Ha runs similar to other models of the same line like the Ssd versions. It sports a rather slippery lid, so expect to smudge your fingerprints allover this bad boy. I can empathize, as I gave up cleaning fingerprints on my own laptop a long time ago. One of the most impressive qualities of this particular netbook is the allembracing build. I all the time worry about dropping, banging, or otherwise damaging my electronic equipment, but the 900Ha sports a broad hinge mechanism (I wish smart phones would learn from this) and a rather stoic feel that gives the impression it could take a decent beating...of procedure I haven't given it all that much testing in this regard.
Display
Netbooks are often the prime option for those of us who like to work from anywhere, and as a supervene your netbook's Led display needs to be easy on the eyes. The 900Ha thankfully has some decent anti-glare capabilities that helps to cut down on eyestrain if you're using it for long periods of time. Of procedure anti-glare features produce their own set of problems, and you may notice some graininess if you look at it from the wrong angle.
Keyboard
I've gotten the impression from many ultra-tiny netbooks that they are a one way trip to carpal tunnel. Seriously, you need to be able to type in an ergonomic fashion if you want to use your netbook consistently without needing surgery. In this regard, the 900Ha does have an Elantech touchpad that feels just spread out enough that the keys are not too cramped. My only real complaint here is that the space bar is small..very small. My right thumb has to stretch a bit to reach it...and it does not like to be stretched!
Performance
I often find my netbook execution a lot less prominent than other Pc types. Even my laptop needs to have some multimedia capability, but I expect a netbook to be just enough power to work smoothly. The Atom processor helps to keep all enchanting even if you have a lot of applications running simultaneously. In addition the 900Ha plays right into my hands, as I prefer more storehouse potential over a solid state hard drive.
If battery life is prominent to you, then you'd probably give the 900Ha a "so-so." At 100% radiance and wireless off you'll get about 4 hours and turn for light use, which is contentious in comparison to other laptops, but not exactly the best.
Conclusion
To summarize, the lowest line is that the 900Ha is a great netbook for the price. It has a good display, solid battery life, and hits the execution benchmarks you'd expect from a worthwhile netbook. On the downside, it has a space bar that is much too small, and if thinness is prominent you'll find the 900Ha a bit on the thick side. It also doesn't have any wireless N or Bluetooth capability, and you're stuck with the slippery lid no matter what. Hardly flaws to write home about, don't you think?
