The system's battery life remains a strong point. Asus has always had some of the longest-lived Netbook batteries, and the new 1005HA lasted an impressive 6 hours and 10 minutes in our video playback battery drain test. In our Holiday 2009 Retail Laptop Roundup, only the Toshiba N205 did better, although that was by an impressive 82 minutes.

Asus covers its laptops with a standard, one-year parts-and-labor warranty, and it offers online Web-based help and a toll-free phone number. The company's support Web site is still a bit of a mess, but it has been improved over the past few years, and includes easy to find driver downloads FAQs.
