The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Go with the 1000HE if you require an actual battery life of 6+ hours. The 1005HA is advertised as "Up to 10.5 hours battery life", however it real life, the number is closer to 4-5 hours. If you prefer a slightly slimmer and sleeker profile, then the 1005HA would better suit you. Keep in mind that replacing/upgrading the hard drive on the 1005HA is a pain in the rear.
