Asus Eee PC 1008HA review

Asus covers its laptops with a standard, one-year parts-and-labor warranty, and it offers online Web-based help and a toll-free phone number. The company's support Web site has improved over the past few years, and includes easy to find driver downloads and FAQs. One nice extra is a 30-day warranty on dead or stuck pixels in the display, giving you some time to find pixel problems.
