Asus Eee PC 1005HA available for pre-order

The Asus Eee PC 1005HA is very similar in both design and features to the Asus Eee PC 1008HA; however, it features on key differentiator: user replaceable battery. Here's the full spec list:

Product Features

* Up to 8.5 Hours of Battery Life
* Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz
* 1GB DDR2 RAM, 1 x SODIMM Slot, 2GB Max; Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n

For those of you that can't wait for the Asus Eee PC 1005HA to be released be sure to read our Asus Eee PC 1008HA review to see if that netbook can meet your needs instead. Again, unless you need to replace the battery I would just buy the Asus Eee PC 1008HA (it's slightly more expensive at $417 right now though).

Pre-Order the Asus Eee PC 1005HA for $349.99
This price seems a little low though... I wonder if it will change?

Either way which do you prefer? 1005HA or 1008HA?
