Falling Netbook Prices – 7/13/09
Posted by Tom Greer on July 13, 2009 in Acer Netbooks, Asus Netbooks, Falling Prices
Today we have several netbooks where the price has dropped by $5.00 or more.
Let’s start with the Asus Eee PC 1000HA, where BuyDig.com has just trimmed their price to $299.95 for the Black version (which is way lower than anyone else’s price).
Eee PC 1005HA-V vs. 1005HA-P: What’s the Difference?
Posted by Tom Greer on July 6, 2009 in Asus Netbooks
Asus recently began shipping the Eee PC 1005HA in the USA. This model is very similar to the Eee PC 1008HA. The main differences in the 1005HA model are: the battery is removable, there is a VGA port and the unit is slightly thicker.
The confusing thing about the 1005HA is that Asus is shipping two different versions. You may see these referred to as 1005HA-V and 1005HA-P.
The table below shows the differences.
| Feature | 1005HA-V | 1005HA-P |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Atom N270 (1.6GHz) | Intel Atom N280 (1.66GHz) |
| Battery | 48Wh 6-cell | 63Wh 6-cell |
| Bluetooth | No | Yes |
The real significant difference between the two is the battery. While both models have 6-cell batteries, the 1005HA-P battery is more powerful and will last longer. Asus says that the battery in the 1005HA-V will last 8.5 hours, while the 1005HA-P’s battery will last 10.5 hours.
The difference in the CPU will probably not be perceivable to most users. If you need Bluetooth support, you will need to buy the 1005HA-P version.
The other difference is price. Currently, the 1005HA-V is priced around $349 and the 1005HA-P around $389. So, for many buyers the question is “Is an extra 2.5 hours of battery life worth $40?”

Posted by Tom Greer on June 8, 2009 in Asus Netbooks, Falling Prices, HP Netbooks
Today, we have two netbooks where the lowest price today is $5 or more less than yesterday’s lowest price.

The 904HA is a an 9″ netbook. Since 10″ models have become the standard, prices have been dropping on the older 9″ models. However, this is still a quality netbook.
If you are looking for a bargain, here is a good deal.

Immediately after I turned off the camera, Steve reverted to his more-animated normal self. He picked up the 1008HA, spun it around, viewing it from every angle and marveled, “This is awesome!’
Now, if I can only get him to project some of that excitement on screen…
