Following Crave.net’s report about the Eee PC 1002HA, our friends from laptopmag were able to get a brief hands-on of the pre-prod model of the said new netbook from Asus.
Joanna Stern noted that the Eee PC 1002HA has a striking resemblance with both the Eee PC S101 and of course the Eee PC 1000H. She also observed that the 1002HA has a thinner profile that the 1000H, almost an inch less thick to be exact.
But like what Crave observed, the 1002HA has a brushed aluminum finish notably on its lid. It also has the same styling as the Eee PC S101.
The Eee PC 1002HA’s keyboard is similar to the 1000H while its trackpad is almost the same as the S101. So, I guess we could say that the Eee PC 1002HA is a hybrid of the 1000H and the S101.

Thanks Avram!

This looks a nice machine with good design – I like the thinness. I’d like to buy a 9″ version (ie a thinner version of 901, but same style as this 1002HA)…
Yes I agree; I am picking my time to buy one of these things and waiting until next Spring for the market to shake down a little more. A primary interest for me is the size and the 9″ is an attractive option since portability is paramount.
On that point it would be useful if the dimensions were reported routinely in your articles; Gbs and USBs and all that geeky stuff is fine and useful, but knowing how much of hassle the thing will be in carry-on luggage is also important!
