ASUS (1005HA-MU17-WT) Netbook

I bought this netbook as a more portable alternative to my alienware m17 laptop.  It gets ridiculous battery life, if you are a student you can bring it to all of you classes without having to worry about where the nearest plugin is.  The computer itself is decent for power.  Of course you aren't going to be able to play any high class games but for simple stuff like word processing and internet it works amazing.  I did tons of research before buying this netbook between a couple different ASUS models, the Dell model and a Toshiba one but I found this was the best because for the price it had basically the same processor and it had 250GB HDD in it instead of a 160.  I recommend to all buying this that you get some other kind of windows 7 then starter because it sucks, any other version is better because starter limits you by so much. You can't even change your own background.  Also the RAM should be upgrade to 2gb (which will run you about $40 more but it is totally worth it.
