My wife picked up this little ASUS last weekend when we urgently needed a small, working laptop. Given its size, low cost and what I'd read about netbooks, my expectations were very low, which made the 1101 HA a really pleasant surprise. Setup was minimal and very easy, and it feels very solid and well-built. It performs great for writing Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. I reorganized a 150 MB external drive on it without a hitch, including sorting and consolidating 5000 photos. I've had good experiences with a wide range of audio and video--from Pandora and live video streams, to watching YouTube clips and full screen movie trailers. I was particularly surprised that it was able to stream a live press conference to an external monitor while I worked and did email on the LCD.
This said, there are some limitations to be aware of. While noticeably bigger than 10" netbooks, the screen still seems small and cramped when you're working on big documents or PDFs. And while the keyboard is generally comfortable, the size and positioning of the shift keys is cramped and a little awkward as well.
When it's got a strong wireless signal--which it usually does--internet performance is very good. That said, the weak signal I get in a few places in my house suggests the range on the built-in wireless card may be shorter than in larger notebooks I've used.
The built-in speakers are louder than I expected for a machine this size, but they're rather tinny. The sound through headphones or external speakers is very good.
All in all, this is a great solution for mobile computing. For me, it won't replace a larger, faster laptop, but it came pretty close at a fraction of the weight and cost.Get more detail about ASUS Eee PC 1101HA-MU1X-BK 11.6-Inch Black Netbook - 11 Hour Battery Life.
