Insanely Handy Keyboard

There have been several attempts to try and make keyboards more portable and storable. The designs are not all bad, just.. not exactly right. You want the feel of actually touching keys, so the roll-up keyboards are kind of a bust.  The design of the fold in half keyboard was also a great idea, but still did not really help reduce the size for storage space.

Yoonsang Kim & Eunsung Park are the designers for the new and great keyboard design.  Its already slim board just folds up like a japanese fan!  Such a convenient design that looks really cool too.  Their inspiration?  Kim and Park’s big picture with these cool and easy to toat around keyboards is to decrease the spreading of germs.  If they don’t win people over with their health aim, they sure will with the neat design.

Awesome Keyboard

    Overview:
    Screen – GREAT
    Keyboard – a bit cramped, but good after some time
    Hard disk – ample size, no real performance issues even at 5400RPM
    Heat dissipation – GREAT – machine gets warm but not hot, even with the disk so close to the bottom
    Graphics performance – Great, considering the Atom CPU. NOT for gaming.
    Ergonomics – ports are accessible, kb is a bit cramped, otherwise great
    Weight – GREAT

    CONS:
    Performance – higher resolution/bit rate web content can drop frames
    Features – could have used one more USB port, no bluetooth, the camera is such a low resolution that I might never use it
    Touchpad – jumps a bit when tapping, not as intuitive for scrolling

    Detailed review:
    I did a lot of research before pulling the trigger and getting this netbook. I spent time in retail stores that had various models and brands available to see what I wanted as far as size, processing, ease of upgrade, etc. I also spent some time on the review sites, forums, etc to see what problems or issues exist for the various netbooks also. I finally decided on the Asus EEE PC 900HA.

    There have been a lot of comments about the keyboard, and it is a bit cramped. I don’t intend to use it to write novels, however, nor even lengthy emails. It’s a reading/browsing device, a video watching device, and an occasional IM machine for me, and in this capacity, the 900HA shines! The screen is outstanding! The small size could be off-putting if one only looks at the numbers, but looking at the 8.9″ LCD is a pleasure. Some apps aren’t terribly compatible with the 1024×600 resolution, but most work fine.

    The speakers are quite loud, and are very clear. The battery life is wonderful, especially given the weight of the thing. I am considering getting a 77WH battery, but so far it hasn’t been needed. I am also considering a keyboard cover to prevent crumbs from getting into the keyboard. The problem with having something so handy, is that you tend to want to keep it, well, handy, and that can mean crumbs. I have seen silicon keyboard covers for around $10 though, so that should not be an issue.

    I did upgrade to a 2GB SODIMM, however. It’s just nicer to have the extra RAM. I got an OCZ PC5400 stick at the suggestion of several forums, but that caused 5 lockups over a weekend, so in the end I returned the OCZ and went with one from PNY. Haven’t had a single issue since that change.

    If you do buy this item, one of the first things you should do is to check the support site and make sure you are at the latest BIOS. Several important defects have been fixed in recent BIOSes, not the least of which is battery life and thermal handling.

    I find that the 900HA is easy to carry. I could easily see it getting thrown in a briefcase/bag/purse and kept with one at all times, especially if you upgrade the battery.

    The wireless works WONDERFULLY. It picks up signal better than my Toshiba P205D 17″ laptop. Browsing the web is great, save for the resolution issues I mentioned above. I can easily check RSS/blogs and play web-based games, however. Few real issues arise, when using Firefox or IE in Full Screen mode.

    I did hook up a 20″ LCD monitor and test higher resolutions, and with the exception of high def video, the 900HA handled things with ease. This unit could very easily satisfy a basic computing device requirement for a college student, if a 17″ monitor, keyboard and mouse were kept at the residence.

    If you plan to do a lot of typing without an additional keyboard, however, you may want to step up to a larger netbook. Something like the EEE PC 904HA, Lenovo Ideapad, or even one of the Acer/HP/Dell models. If you just need Internet access or videos while you are passing the time stuck somewhere, you can’t beat this netbook.

    Helpful post, though in 8.04 you need to double click on the volume control, click on Edit/Preferences, then check External amplifier to be visible. The switches tab then appears. Uncheck External amplifier in that tab. Worked for me anyway.
