Update on eee PC 1005HA

Checking in on my recent eee PC purchase. So far:

Things that I like:
dedicated button to turn off touchpad
Fn+F1=sleep
keyboard is decent
size/weight good

Things I’m not so crazy about:
Something (touchpad?) gets activated occasionally, and my typing activates — I don’t know what. It acts like I am holding down the Control key or something.
Screen ratio (1024 X 600) is a little squished vertically
Case is super smudge-prone
Battery life, at least with the battery that came with the 1005HA is not nearly as good as I had hoped; right around 3 hours

I have been reasonably diligent about bringing it with me to meetings, et cetera. One use that I have found that works great is placing the eee PC next to my IP phone to take notes during a concall, with the phone on speaker. My IP phone is on a table behind my desk, so doing that on my standard desk computer isn’t an option.

I’ll continue to check in. I ordered a laptop sleeve for it as I am concerned about it getting banged around inside my work bag.
