Asus seems to have came out with a bestselling Eee PC again. If Amazon’s bestsellers in Computers and PC Hardware is any indication, the Eee PC 1005HA has topped the list occupying both 1 and 2 slot for the black and blue models.
The last time Amazon held this position was when the Eee PC 1000HE was released. And it held the spot for several months. Would the Eee PC 1005HA repeat the same feat for Asus? Only time can tell. But you can certainly make that happen if you buy the Eee PC 1005HA at Amazon.
If you haven’t decided yet, let me refresh you with the key specs of the Eee PC 1005HA – Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Windows XP, and other standard netbook features. But of course the major feature of this netbook has got to be the 10.5 hours battery life. That is enough reason to get this netbook over its competitors.
Alright folks one of Asus Seashell Eee PC is finally arriving on U.S. soil via Amazon. If you’ve pre-ordered this before, expect to receive your Eee PC 1005HA in a couple of days.
But if you fail to pre-order you can still grab this slim Eee PC as Amazon seems to have a stock full in their inventory.
You can choose between two SKUs of the Eee PC 1005HA. First is the 1005HA-P which comes with a 1.66GHz N280 Atom processor, a 6-cell 5600mAH battery, a glossy screen, Bluetooth and 1.3MP webcam and goes for $389.99.
The other SKU, Eee PC 1005HA-V comes with a 1.6GHz N270 Atom procesor, 6-cell 4400mAh battery, 0.3MP webcam, and matte display. This one goes out for $349.99.
So, what’s in going to be for you folksies? 1005HA-P or 1005HA-V?
If you failed to pre-order the Eee PC 1005HA when it was still available at Amazon, here’s another chance for you to grab this new Asus netbook as soon as it comes out. Newegg is now accepting pre-orders for the Eee PC 1005HA with a shipment date set on July 1, 2009.
Interestingly, while Amazon was offering the Eee PC 1005HA for $349.99, Newegg’s list price is a little bit higher at $399. Yeah I know, you must be telling yourself now that you’d rather pre-order from Amazon. Unfortunately, the Amazon pre-order page is no longer active. Searching the netbook on the Amazon site won’t yield any result either.
So, I guess that leaves you with no choice but to get from Newegg instead. Here’s the link if you want to do so. Or if you’re still not convince whether this new netbook is worthy of your bucks, here’s a quick rundown of its specs:
Asus new EEE PC 1005HA is now available for pre-order at Amazon.com for $349.99. You have seen the specifications before, but to refresh your memory here they are again:
