Great little computer!
I've had my 904HA for about 2 weeks now (I'm typing this review on it). It's my first netbook/laptop, although I am the default techie for my wife's compaq laptop and have used the office laptops periodically. I must say that I am more than happy. I get about 6 hours battery life surfing the net or playing games with the wifi on (brightness at about 75%). I've been able to put a "virtual drive" which allows me to run some old games I have, and I've copied over all the MP3s from my MP3 player to have on the road with me.

The only negative I can report is the oddly placed right shift key, but I really haven't noticed this to be much of an issue (I tend to shift with my left hand 99% of the time anyway).

Since I received the 904HA, I have only used my desktop computer one or two times.

Super fast and easy to use, great little computer!! ;>)
I purchased this from Amazon.com, shipped on monday, received on wednesday, free shipping, how good is that ;>))
I like a couple of others here initially ordered the 900 model and quickly cancelled it and chose the 904HA, mainly because of battery life and also the larger keyboard, my fingers are not small ;>)
First, let me say everything you are reading about this little, no, tiny computer is true, I am amazed at how fast XP loads up, boom, XP is loaded.
Don't worry about not having a CDROM drive, if you have a desktop or notebook and a wireless network, just make that drive shared, right click on the other computers CD/DVD drive and click on SHARE. You may have to shut down your firewire in IE or McAfee or what ever you are using for security software but after that it's easy. I am loading a program from my desktop to "tiny" right now as we speak, couldn't be easier.
The keyboard is really nice, a little larger than the 900 model and so my large fingers are able to type pretty easily. The screen is bright and I'll go to Netflix tomorrow and watch a few movies on the battery to see what kind of battery life I get, I anticipate about 5+ hours though, pretty nice.
I highly recommend this "tiny" notebook, easy to carry, looks great (I have the black glossy model) and is really a fast computer. For the price, you won't be disappointed!

Best laptop I have owned
I have had this laptop for 4 days now and 100% love it. The size is insane.

I have owned 2 laptops over the years...a 15" and 17" and what I hated was lugging it around. I would always have to take the AC adapter with me...now I can leave it at home.

It's so lightweight...this thing weighs like 3 pounds.

It comes with a simple zipper cover and I can actually fit my Logitech track ball mouse inside with the laptop. I no longer need to carry a laptop bag because I don't need the AC adapter.

The battery lasts about 6 hours for me.

I replaced the 1 gb ram with 2 gb and it makes a big difference.
I highly recommend using a software application called Eboostr to further increase performance. You can run a search on google and the site will come up. It uses your flash drive as additional ram. I notice a huge difference with programs like Photoshop or SoundForge. Plus you can get tiny 2 or 4 gb flash drives that you can leave plugged in. Or even better get a SD card and use that instead. It will stay plugged in your laptop using the SD slot and you wont even notice it.

The webcam is great and works perfectly with Google Chat.

Honestly, I have no complaints. Yeah the keyboard is a little smaller but I hunt and peck anyways. Next thing I am getting is one of those tiny bluetooth dongles and a bluetooth trackball mouse to become wire free.

Another great thing is the Bios updater application it comes with...so you can keep this thing up to date.

It also has some great hotkeys...plus ones you can setup for your own applications.

5 stars for sure!
