We recently polled readers on the whole non-removable battery scenario for netbooks. I don’t think I’d buy one, but at this point, 46 percent of the respondents say they would. This question came about with introduction of the slim ASUS Eee PC 1008HA netbook and its integrated battery. ASUS has something for the 54 percent of you that balked at the non-removable battery: Say hello to the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA that turned up at Blogeee.net.
The 1005HA-H is essentially the same device as the 1008HA, but allows you to remove or replace the battery and is slightly less expensive. The only other differences I can see are in the battery capacity and USB ports. You lose about 100mAh of battery in the 1005HA-H, but you gain an extra USB port, making for a total of three. Even less expensive is the 1005HA-M, which drops Bluetooth and uses the older N270 Intel Atom in lieu of the newer N280 found in the 1008HA.
