    Eee PC 1000HA - First the RAM went, and that was replaced. Then the charger only charged intermittently. Got a new charger, but then the motherboard failed. As far as I can tell, these are complete junk. I'd advise not to buy one. Spend a little more and get a proper laptop.

    Also, ASUS may promise repeatedly to take the Eee PC back for repair at cost, if the warranty has expired, but the courier will not call. They do not allow you to post the computer back to them at your own cost, and because they don't sell replacement motherboards, your only option is to buy a whole new Eee PC. My advice is to avoid ASUS products altogether.

    One lemon hardly denotes such a blanket statement.

    I've had kit that was faulty before but every manufacturer has production problems/defects every now and then. Maybe if you bought 3 at different times and all failed, maybe, just one isnt enough.

    Never had a problem. Scout about over here OP, you might be able to get some pointers for parts or warranty information. A friendly forum.

    The Eee 900/900A/901 are great little beasts, very sturdy. I love mine.
