The ASUS Eee 1101HA

Here you see the top of the notebook as you will always see it, covered with fingerprints and smudges. Such is the cost of a glossy lid.

The bottom of the 1101HA is plain with the battery release and some cooling grates along with an access panel for the RAM.

The right side of the machine has two USB ports, the RJ45 connector, headphone jack and mic jack. The memory card reader is also on this side.

There is nothing to see on the back of the machine but the rather bulbous 6-cell battery droppin' low.

The left side of the netbook has the VGA out, a USB port and the Kensington lock port. The left side also hides the smallest AC adapter port I have ever seen; it's even smaller than the headphone jack is.

There is nothing at all to see on the front edge of the netbook.

The keyboard on the 1101HA is massive by netbook standards with keys where they should be and a tiny right shift key.

My good friend Mr. Glossy screen is back with his pal Glarry Glareington.

You can see just how svelte the 1101HA is in the profile shot. The thing is no Dell Adamo XPS, but it is certainly thin enough for most of us.
