All-Day Computing

The 1101HA and 1005HA are the most energy-efficient Eee PC™ netbooks yet, thanks to the ASUS-engineered Super Hybrid Engine (SHE), LED-backlit display and Intel® Atom™ processor. These technologies combine to allow the Eee PC™ 1101HA and Eee PC™ 1005HA to run all day long, lasting up to 11 and 10.5 hours respectively on a single charge.* Both models also feature user-replaceable batteries and upgradeable RAM slots.

Extra-large Keyboard and Multi-touch Trackpad

The Eee PC™ 1101HA and Eee PC™ 1005HA employ a large 92% keyboard with full-sized shift keys for an extremely comfortable typing experience. The large keyboard is complemented by extra-wide palm rests and a seamless touchpad with a dimpled surface that supports multi-touch gestures.

All-New Eee Docking Software
