Mine is the 1005 HA Blu that is the only difference. Battery life is the difference. My new Toshiba lasts 10 hours and is upgradable to 2 GB RAM. Where HP and Dell you can't upgrade to 2 GB of RAM.

Thank you for providing us asus netbook users with this very comprehensive report of the problem that you had the misfortune too experience. Here's the model of the asus netbook that I purchased. It is, Asus e e e Pc 1005 ha, with expandible memory. Is this the model that you are having trouble with? Please, if you would, let me know if this particular model is the one that your refering too, so that if have too return it, I will before I leave too visit my Mother and sister next week in Michigan. Believe me, I very much appreciate any and all of the help and advice and suggestions that you can give me when it comes too resolving any possible future problems that I might encounter with this particular model of netbook from Asus. This is what happens when there is poor quality control on the part of the company. More often then not, companies are far too willing too push there products on the market, without making sure that the quality of the merchandise that there selling is of good quality and of a hirer standard. Maybe if businesses cared less about making high profits, and more about quality rather then quantity, they'd have mor of a satisfied customer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rogelio Terrazas" <rogelio.terra...@gmail.com> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Saturday, August 01, 2009 4:36 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Important Asus Netbook Users > This is what happens.
