It is time for a new PC - or for me, an additional PC.  I've done my homework - and decided on the perfect netbook.  Asus Eee 1005HA-PU1X - the current top of the  Asus netbook lineup.  It's the only netbook that I have found to have all the bells and whistles currently available in a netbook for a reasonable price.  It includes the Atom n280 processor, b/g/n wireless, bluetooth, 10.5 hour battery (rated - but probably not really), high def audio and a great keyboard.  It's been rated in several magazines above the Toshiba nb205 (which doesn't have 'n' wireless).  Here's my problem - Best Buy DOESN'T sell it in the store or on line.  I think that it may be an oversight since Best Buy does sell the lower 2 models - 1005HAB and 1005HA-VU1X.  Neither of these have all the features of the 1005HA-PU1X model.  Best Buy also offers the 1008HA-PU1X which only has a 3-cell battery and only 2 USB ports.  I realize that Best Buy can't possibly inventory every model of every computer created - but in a very hot netbook market this model is a standout at a great price of $389.  Is there any way to get Best Buy to add this model to their line up?  I could buy it on line (and probably save tax) - but I would rather buy a computer from a place that I trust, offers support and offers an excellent extended warranty option. 

BTW - I'm still shopping.  Do you know of any other netbook that offers ALL the features of the Asus 1005HA-PU1X?  I haven't been able to find one, but if you have one in mind, let me know.  Thanks!

On every netbook you can always add an external hub if you plan to connect additional devices. They are not too expensive.
