    Screen Size

    You didn't mention it, but the display is only 1024x600 - which isn't much use for anything these days.

    screen size

    It's a netbook, not a laptop. That is the standard resolution for a netbook.

    which is actually fine considering the screen size, if the resolution were any higher you would need would need a magnifying glass to read text.

    Although, i would like to be able to increase the resolution when using an external monitor.

    Still Slower than HP dm1z netbok

    I was going to order that until I discovered the HP 11.6" Netbook which is faster than the Asus and it's available with:

    AMD Turion II Neo Dual-Core Processor K625 (1.5GHz)

    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 Graphics

    5Gigs DDR3

    HDMI output

    720P LED screen

    Solid state drive.

    And "13 hours" is a lie

    Or, as they would probably call it, an estimate for marketing purposes.

    Asus eeePC904HA, very big clear sticker about 6 hours battery life, and amazing how my iPhone's clock puts it at 4-4.5 hours even running the eeePC power management, wifi turned off, sitting twiddling its thumbs... (mostly - reading eBooks)

    Obviously faulty iPhone clock, couldn't be Asus being full of it.
