One look at the Asus Eee PC 1002HA netbook, and you will notice this is not an ordinary netbook. For once, Asus has dressed the Asus Eee PC 1002HA in a sleek business attire, rather than the plasticky look that is a norm with the Asus Eee PC range.
Looks good in business environment
Sleek external design
I think most of you will agree with me, Asus Eee PC 1002HA is the best looking netbook in the Asus Eee PC line up in Malaysia. Dare I say, maybe it is the best looking netbook around.

10GB Eee Online Storage

Asus Eee PC 1002HA price at the time of writing: RM1900
The 10″ LCD screen on the Asus Eee PC 1002HA has a matte finish that reduces glare, a break from the normal glossy displays nowadays. With a maximum resolution of 1024 pixels x 600 pixels, the display are will work flawlessly with web surfing and text editing. Integrated into Asus Eee PC 1200HA is a 1.3 megapixel built-in webcam and a digital array microphone.
Most of us will find the keyboard size and layout on the Asus Eee PC 1002HA is comfortable to use for daily task. The keyboard on Asus Eee PC 1002HA is 92% the size of a standard keyboard, which should give users ample space to work with.
One thing about the Asus Eee PC 1002HA keyboard though, the right shift key is in a very weird position on the right side of the up arrow key rather than under the enter key like it should be.
One of the most talk about features of the Asus Eee PC 1002HA is the Track Pad. Asus has made the Asus Eee PC 1002HA trackpad to be as brilliant as they should be. A single finger moves the cursor as you expect it to. Place a second finger on the track pad and you can scroll up and down pages. Tapping the track pad with three fingers acts as a right click.
Hopefully this brilliant track pad will be a standard features on all future Asus notebook, laptop and netbook model. I will not be suprise if other notebook, laptop and netbook manufacturer will follow suit.
On the performance side, Asus Eee PC 1002HA will do its job just like other netbook in the market with a similar specification. Don’t expect the netbook to work like a full fledged notebook or laptop. But for the task that a netbook was designed to do, such as checking email, web surfing and documents editing, the Asus Eee PC 1002HA will perform with satisfaction.
In the end, I find that Asus Eee PC 1002HA is decent netbook with a weird keyboard layout that takes some time to get used to. But throw in the features of the smart track pad on the Asus Eee PC 1002HA, and all is forgiven.
