    What a PITA. With the 1000HE at around $350, enough already with the 1000HA rebate. Just sell it at $300 and be done with it.

    I *do* think this is a slightly updated model though...doesn't it have the same keyboard as the 1000HE?

    Hey, why wait until it's free, and baseball-sized diamonds litter the ground like so many cast-off candy wrappers...

    >>How long to take to charge the battery to run 7hrs?
    An infinite amount of time.
    7hrs is the claimed battery life, as different to how long the machine will actually run.

    Quote from:
    http://www.slashgear.com/asus-eee-pc-1000ha-review-2320203/

    "Battery claims for the 6-cell pack on the 1000HA are up to seven hours use; as you might expect, the only way to achieve that would be to not actually use the netbook at all. With screen backlighting set midway, WiFi switched on and the Eee PC itself managing its own power throttling (which ASUS call the “Super Hybrid Engine”) the 1000HA lasted around 4.5hrs."

    I thought we all have had this thing? Now stop talking about this and wait for the new model to come.

    Get the 1000HE! I got one and I love it, just get a 2GB of Memory and a bluetooth mouse for speed and you're golden like a shower.

    I got mine a few months ago for $260 after rebate. This is not the best deal.
