Finally, I just wanted to add a note about the keyboard. I have seen four units in stores and in two of these I experienced painful amount of flex. I would consider this it a manufacturing fault, with the keyboard not being properly fixed to the body.

The other two had superb keyboards that were among the best netbook keyboards that I have every used. I would recommend those interested should check the unit you intend to take home before you purchase.

Asus, why do you mare perfection?

What I really want is a 1005HA-P in white (or something that doesn’t attract fingerprints) AND with a matte screen. A glare type screen is in no way a premium option over a matte finish. I have a Dell with a glare type screen and it can be an issue even when sitting inside if you’re under a light or near a window.

Please Asus, introduce a matte screen version in white, a matte screen, and bluetooth at the very least!

The 1005HA-V comes with a matte screen vs. glossy on the 1005HA-P. The ‘V’ series also lacks bluetooth and does not come with a netbook sleeve.

Hi, I really want to buy this netbook, but I want the P version… Do you know if it is going to be available in pink or white?

Amazon is already selling the V version in those colors, but Asus people shouldn’t force potencial buyers to decide between features and their color preferences…

Hey Drew, nothing yet. But I have some contacts over at Asus that I’ll ask to see if I can sneak any info out of them.

I’ll be sure to share when I find out. Most likely will put it in the forum though so be sure you register there.

Any ideas/rumors about when the pink netbook will actually be available for shipping? My wife really wants either a pink or purple netbook for her birthday and if this will not be available for a while still we may end up going with the Dell mini10 instead. Thanks.

Hey Shadi,

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve updated the post.

The differences for the 1005HA-P (390$) models and the 1005HA-V (350$) models are not only in battery life. The 1005HA-V has a slower cpu, an Atom N270 (1.6 Ghz), while the 1005HA-P has an Atom N280 (1.66 Ghz).
