  The original cord for my 900 series ASUS eee PC was both too short and too delicate. It got severed when it was pinched in my recliner, something that has happened to many power cords over the years but has never actually broken one! When I went to replace it, I saw this one priced about $20 less than the name brand, which was more than enough to make me bite.

  This new cord is more sturdy, longer, and isn’t such a chore to fit in the machine. The original had an “el” shaped head that was often difficult to remove and insert into the slot. This one is straight and slides right in, but doesn’t feel loose, so I don’t worry that it will become too loose in the slot any time soon.

  Adapter is better than the original equipment. The cord is longer and actually seems to fit the EEE 901 slot better. The original power adapter made the battery/AC indicator flash back and forth (wouldn’t stay on AC or battery) and I didn’t think that was very good for the laptop.

  I bought this adapter for a EEE PC 1000HD.
  I’m not sure how but I believe that the wires inside the cable broke, so I found this replacement here. It works fine because it powers and charges the PC as expected, but the plug sticks out about 2 o 3mm.
  I’m not sure if this is the reason why, but the cable tends to slip out from the PC’s female plug :S
  I have to constantly be checking that it is plugged in and plug it back in, which is very annoying.
  This is my second and last ASUS as my first ASUS had the same problem with the ac adapter, and I was very careful with this one…

  I have the Eee PC 900 series and this power adapter matches the electronic specifications of the original adapter for my laptop. As the other reviews stated, the previous power adapter began to wear and the wires were not making proper contact due to coiling the adapter’s cables at least twice a day. The male plug on the adapter cable that plugs into the laptop extends out of the plug approximately 3mm and, like other reviews, has a tendency to to “unplug” itself. This is due to the plug’s exterior circumference being larger than the original adapter. This is not to say that the cable falls out on its own, but if you were to move from desk to couch, expect to have to plug it back in. The adapter’s brick does not have an LED on it which is fine, and does not get too hot or humm loudly like some power adapters might. Of course the cable length is sufficient though bordering on being too long. Overall, the product is a $20 dollar cheaper replacement buy that performs the same functionality as the original adapter. If you have the Eee PC and you need a replacement, grab one of these, they do just fine.

  I have a newer Asus 1005HA netbook and I thought that this power cord would work with it. Just an FYI to others… it *does not* fit properly, different plug size. ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X-BU 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook – 10.5 Hour Battery Life

  I’ve owned this netbook for a couple months now and absolutely love it! However, I am just recently noticing a delay when I type. Sometimes I have to type very slowly in order to produce a word, and retype a letter a couple of times. Of course, as Murphy’s Law will have it, as I type this review I am having no problems at all with the keyboard. Anyway, it hasn’t been the biggest problem…yet. Just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this.

  Pros:
  VERY LIGHT!
  Beautiful design
  Very fast connecting to internet
  Speakers suprisingly good (for a small netbook)
  Am liking Star Office
  Screen very clear

  Cons:
  Possible keyboard issue (will post update in a couple of weeks)
  Fairly slow booting up
  Dust Monster (but you can just purchase a microfiber cloth)

  All and all, I love this netbook. I can pop this baby into my purse, head off for the day and not even notice the weight. I would highly recommend this netbook.

  i recieved my asus 1002h, been using it for 2 days and i am simply in love with it. It beats my hp mini 110 in ways i cannot explain

  yes mine came with a defective speaker witch will be replaced but the rest just amazing first of all the shift key is in its proper place, i have a island keyboard since this model has 2 type of keyboards. The 2 cell battery managed to get 4h out of its charge witch beats my hp mini 110 3 cell 2h 30 min use. as for performance it does everything very well i even can play Sim 3 without problems

  I can say the overall design great the screen amazing and very bright.

  the only con is the ugly glossy bezel that should of been aluminim brushed and thiner it looks so fat appart that nothing to complain i give it a 5 star
  and the speakers could sound better but that a small detail

  i work mainly with a motorola ML 900 rugged device so for me this unit is very business feel, People around me all comment on how sexy it looks.

  This netbook has worked out fine. The keyboard is surprisingly adequate, the track pad works fine (though I often use an external mouse), the screen is fine… Of course it’s a very slow computer, but that’s expected.

  The packaging was unusually nice too — I almost felt like it was an Apple product. The package includes a nice carrying sleeve, and the power cords have nice Velcro ties.

  Nice compact Netbook..StarOffice is pretty much worthless. You really need the Microsoft Office packages in order to use documents imported to the Netbook..The RAM was upgraded to 2GB but it only reads 1GB.

  This is a somewhat older model than the 1005 and has a smaller battery: 2 cell as opposed to 6. The 2 cell battery on one or two test runs seems to last 2 3/4 hours with continuous moderate use. Have read that the 6 cell sticks out the bottom and creates a fulcrum that makes the computer backheavy. As a result it tends to tip over if not on a level surface.
  Hard drive is partitioned into C and D drives for an extra OS — useless for me.
  They moved the right shift key way right and shrunk it to accomodate the up arrow button, which is annoying–but not unique. I think that the 1005 doesn’t have this problem. Also the keys are labelled in a thin light blue text which isn’t super visible.
  Wireless works nicely. Like the 1005HA-PU1X-BK — but not the matte screen 1005HA-VU1X — has Bluetooth which I haven’t tried.
  Touch pad works well, with two fingers you can scroll up and down and side to side. Options for three finger controls too– though the magnify option doesn’t seem to work.
  What this machine does have over its siblings is practical aethetics. I was on the brink of buying the 1005HA-PU1X-BK until I saw it in the store. Glossy plastic that shows smudges and to my taste looks cheap. The 1002ha has a dark brushed metal lid and interior (the exception being a glossy screen frame). The screen is matte, which I like too. The August $50 rebate helped too.
  If you don’t mind a glossy plastic case and screen, and don’t use your netbook on you lap, you probably should go for the 1005ha-pu.

  I bought this to replace my original brick after my dog decided to chew on it. I have had this for months, and it works great. Shipped quickly and performs great. Doesn’t get as hot as the original.

  First of all the charger I received was white, despite it being black in the picture. Thankfully I didn’t mind, but most of the time when I go to plug it in there’s small visible and audible sparks between the prongs and most outlets I’ve used. The same usually happens if the 2nd part of the cord connecting to the box(don’t know the name for it)comes loose and I have to reconnect it. Because of being frequently bent (my own fault) where it connects to the laptop the cord split exposing some wires and makes it so I have to have it at just the right angle to get a charge connection. I won’t buy another one from this same source because I’d rather not worry if stray sparks from plugging it into an outlet will electrocute me.

  It is smaller than the original which I like. The cords are long though which is good. My original just stopped working. This one has as many hours. It must be better.

  I haven’t had the product very long but it seems to work just fine. Nice long cable and the detachable power input is nice. Now to see if it lasts longer than the original power supply that came with my eeePc.
