Score 10.0/10+ Light weight, sleek design, compact, v. good battery life, decent perfomance for the size of the laptop. Excellent purchase, have already recommended to several friends and work colleagues.

Score 10.0/10+ Bought this PC after reading positive reviews; so I was delighted to have it up and running within a very short time of unpacking. It feels, and is solid. Very simple to set up, and felt immediately at home with the keyboard - nice positive feel to it. I use quite a few different keyboards, from full size to standard laptop. Didn't take long to get the fingers tuned to this one. The touchpad isn't bad - but because I do a lot of photo and design work I much prefer a mouse. Peripherals such as external hard drive and DVD all functioned exactly as expected on installation. Nice bright display, even on battery power. Very impressed with the battery life - it's pretty close to the maker's claim, and I guess much will depend on the software you have running and what you're doing. The pre-installed Skype and webcam all fired up perfectly. I haven't installed any additional memory (yet) but I am impressed with the PC's ability to handle Photoshop Elements and InDesign even if you have to allow for the fact that it is a small screen, and the mouse does come in very handy to shuffle the image around in the available area. I used this PC for a week's photo tour travelling on French railways, and its small footprint came in very useful indeed. I might consider upgrading to Windows 7, but I'm a very happy bunny with this one!
- Nothing glaringly obvious to me at all.

Score 9.0/10+ Great battery life. Good design & features.
- With the netbook open it can easily tip back on your lap. Not a real issue but something to be aware of. Stick to only a few open screens as it's not the most pwerful processor as you would expect in a net book.

Expert reviews for Asus Eee PC 1005HA SeaShell N270 (Netbook)
TechRadar expert review
When Asus' original Eee PC Seashell 1008HA appeared, we were bowled over by the machine's incredible size and usability. Asus has now created an even more portable model, by producing the 1005HA which features a slightly bulkier chassis, but also a better 6-cell battery. In our opinion, the extra size has been worth it. The new battery provides 357 minutes of life, meaning true all-day usability. The machine is built from shiny ‚Äì yet durable ‚Äì black plastics, that attract fingerprints and smears instantly. It is a little chunkier than its predecessor, but at 1.3kg adds only minor e…

Pocket Lint expert review
The Asus Eee PC range of netbooks has undergone a design and a name change recently, which we’ve been told will be carried throughout all the upcoming family of Eee PCs. This "Seashell" design reflects exactly that, a seashell, with its curved lid and glossy exterior that’s really highlighted in the white version of these netbooks...

PC Advisor expert review
We can sum up the Asus Eee PC 1005HA in one sentence: it's a slightly thicker, slightly cheaper version of the Eee PC 1008HA.
