Laptop Magazine is pretty impressed by the design and slimness of 1002HA, and also the comfortable keyboard layout. Also, they found the 1002HA to be a fast booter and with speedy performance overall. The only disappointment comes from the 2-cell battery which can last only for 3 hours and 39 minutes, and the company isn't planning to offer an extended life model either.
