Customer Review: Pretty... but big wireless problems
I'm on my third day trying to connect to my wireless router, which my regular laptop, my printer, and my son's laptop regularly do without any problems. I spent several hours with three different ASUS "tech specialists", and they simply go through a predefined routine... nice people but thoroughly useless. Two already suggested returning the unit... which is a huge inconvenience. In two different forums, several other posts report wireless problems. ASUS posted a "fix", which means they know of this problem, but the fix did not execute in my Eee. Bummer...!
Customer Review: Nice and small
GOOD: Nice and small device. Very easy to carry everywhere - only 2 lbs. Frequently do not need to carry charger because of long battery life - 6hrs max and about 4 hrs if processor-hungry applications running. Very fast - comes from standby in 5 seconds, all normal applications work without any delays - Skype, Firefox, Chrome, Outlook, Picasa, bookreaders, and etc. BAD: Purchased with Amazon-recommended additional 2GB memory, but can not easily install because 1008HA does not have a memory door. Actually it runs well with 1GB, but I wasted money on additional 2GB. Later Amazon placed a notification on their site that 2GB is difficult to install, but still offers to buy it. Also, personally I do not like hi-gloss screens, but it is not a big issue. COMPARED TO: Before purchase compared 1008HA to MSI netbooks and found their keyboard wierd - Fn key in place of Ctrl and too small keys "." and "," CONCLUSION: Completely satisfied. Also, I'm considering buying 1101HA later when it becomes available to get 11" screen with higher resolution and longer battery life.

The STR-DA4400ES 7.1 channel AV receiver continues Sony's heritage in providing an ES AV receiver that will distribute high definition content to a 2nd room of the home. Its multi-room capabilities don't stop with HD; this model also can distribute audio to multiple rooms (up to 3). These multi-room features are accompanied by custom control connections (i.e. RS-232C, 12 volt triggers and IR in/out) necessary for full home integration. Now, you can start a HD movie in the living room and finish it in the bedroom or listen to your favorites songs from your iPod player, Walkman player or PC (accessories sold separately), located in the living room, on the patio in the backyard. The STR-DA4400ES 7.1 channel AV receiver utilizes Sony's xross media bar inspired GUI with Faroudja DCDi cinema technology that can upscale all video sources to 1080p in an intuitive environment for even novice AV enthusiasts. This new model will be able to reproduce the latest audio formats from Dolby Labs (Dolby Digital +/Dolby TrueHD) and dts (dts HD/dts high resolution audio). In true ES fashion, this model incorporates new audio technology by having the ability to decode direct stream digital (DSD) audio sources. So, the abundant HDMI connections (6 Inputs) provide ample room to incorporate a SACD Player with a HDMI output (SACD Player sold separately). This new model is compatible with 1080 60p/24p, deep color and x.v.color video signals. Finally, the STR-DA4400ES features BRAVIA sync for theater with one touch control, digital media port input for use with MP3 portable players or personal computer (accessories sold separately) and is XM and Sirius Satellite Radio ready.
