Glossy panel
Noisy when a lot of demand put on it
Poor screen
Case prone to scratches and finger smudges
Not really much to hate
Though the small size isn't for everyone
Slightly bigger body and tricksy trackpad

Lid smudges quickly, Somewhat thick for a netbook, Fan can get loud
An attractive design, comfortable keyboard with appropriately placed keys, and almost nine hours of runtime make the ASUS’ Eee PC 1005HA the most well rounded Eee PC to date. And at $389, it’s also one of the most affordable netbooks with its...
Nice build quality, Excellent battery life, Good port layout ... for a netbook
Thick for a modern netbook, Still uses weak integrated graphics, Bad touchpad buttons
