Not a very good price. This configuration of hardware should be going for around $300.

If you're interested in more functionality you might also want to wait for Dell's TV Tuner/GPS netbook to go down in price.

I swear the 1005A was $295 last week...?

Oh, actually $290. That is the VU...this is the PU...which has BT and a longer-charge battery.

This VU also was the N270 processor, so there is quite a bit different. This is actually about $25-$40 off the normal price. Not great but this gets decent reviews.

Look closer:

Here's a quick guide for understanding the different flavors of the 1005HA:

1005HA-P (most expensive)
N280 1.66 GHz Processor, 667MHz Front Side Bus, 1.3MP Web Cam, 10.5 Hour Battery, Glossy Display, Bluetooth, Netbook Sleeve
Available Colors: Black, Blue

1005HA-V (mid range price)
N270 1.6 GHz Processor, 533MHz Front Side Bus, 0.3MP Web Cam, 8.5 Hour Battery, Matted Display
Available Colors: Black, Blue, White, Pink

1005HA-B (cheapest one, sold at best buy)
N270 1.6 GHz Processor, 533MHz Front Side Bus, 0.3MP Web Cam, 4.5 Hour Battery, Matted Display
Available Colors: Black, Blue, White, Pink

Thank you much #4 for the good explanation. It is much helpful

I just picked this up for my wife on Monday for about this price (buydig $360 with bing 10% cb). After spending hours going over which mini's were the best, I opted for this one. It was a close tie between this, and the Samsung N110. I ended up going with this one because of the longer battery life, wireless n, and reviews on the screen (apparently works well in all lighting).

It's been lower in price - around $311 with bing cb at zzf, and with a $30 rebate (2 days only). The 1005A-V has a $30 rebate right now I believe.

price seems to be going down, maybe wait a little longer?

Thanx #4

Thanks #4.

Yes, the price will go down (soon I hope), because Asus got greedy and making all these models and colors, increased their stock materials and inventory, and caused their second quarter profits to go down. They already started the $30 rebate when you buy a combo with a ASUS portable DVD drive by 8/31/2009. See the Zipzoomfly link for details.

I am very tempted, but I want the blue one. Notice that this one is also hackintosh-able.

Pardon my ignorance...but do any of these come with an OS? Just started looking at them.
