ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 10.5 Hour Battery Life
$389.99
I bought an NC-10 a few months back. I then made the mistake of allowing one of my kids to use it. After a week of wheedling, I surrendered the netbook to him, and so, was in the market for a new machine. After endless dithering I settled on a PU1X and placed the order. My observations are consequently based on the hands-on experience of a single example of each model.

I selected the PU1X over another NC-10 based on hardware variations: the Asus had the slightly faster processor (1.66 v. 1.60 Ghz.), wireless N, and marginally longer battery life. The prices of the two were virtually identical.

Out of the box, the Samsung has the better "finish". The keyboard is "chunkier", with a more certain touch. The overall feel of the NC-10 is closer to that of a high-end notebook than the Asus. The 1005HA is significantly noisier than the Samsung, and runs hotter.

The final deal-breaker was the bloatware on the Asus. It took significantly longer to boot and is overloaded with intrusive software that causes everything to run slower, even after pruning it back. Updating XP from the initial configuration to current took at least twice as long on the Asus, as does opening Firefox, or any other program.

The Asus goes back today; I'll be getting another NC-10.

Decent product however I bought the laptop from BRAVTEK and I got cheated on the deal. He sold me a defective product and refused to fix it. Be careful shopping for laptops and by all means avoid the above vendor.
