Review of the Asus Eee PC 900HA netbook from my dining room table.

The boot time of a minute and a half is the time it takes for a fully loaded Windows installation to become usable. The time it takes for the desktop to appear on a fresh install with no software installed yet and the Quick Boot BIOS option activated is 30 seconds.

There have been reports of “grain” on the screen. This is a result of the anti-glare coating on the screen.

If after adjusting the color correction you still find the screen to be a bit too blue, try setting the red's gamma to 1.1.

I've had the chance to check out the 1000HA in a local store. It's equipped with a bigger screen and keyboard, a 6 cell battery, and some programmable buttons. The remaining components are exactly the same as in the 900HA. It's a worthy candidate for those who find the 900HA a bit too small. But watch out for the price. You could find an end-of-line full sized notebook for the same price.
