Your Opinion: is the 1002HA from Asus still worth five stars?

Because netbooks are evolving so rapidly, the pecking order that we established at the start of the year has already changed.  As one of our readers has pointed out, the Asus Eee PC 1002HA is no longer as new as it was:

Subject: Eee Pc 1002 HA Hello, Right now, I don't think that this Eee PC is worth five stars.  Given the improvements in battery life made by the competition and the 1000HE, it should really only have four stars.  The 1000HE and the Samsung NC10 are really a cut above. Thanks.

Our reader was entirely right: the 2 hours 50 minutes of battery life on the 1002HA just doesn't stand up to the almost six hours achieved by today's best netbooks.

As a result, we've adjusted its battery life score from four to three stars, and its overall score to four stars.
