ASUS Eee PC 1000H 160GB
The 1000H arrived on 9/24/08. It worked just fine out of the box after going through the setup. The display is very bright, I had to set the brightness 2/3 of the way down.

I did manage to "scrooch" XP trying to install Trend Micro 2007 and I had to do a restore using the ASUS restore DVD with a Lite-On DX-8A1H external USB CD/DVD drive. This took 15 minutes.

ASUS includes a 90-day trial version of Eset Nod32 anti-virus. I am using this and the Windows Firewall. There is minimal junk-ware pre-installed and what there is can be easily removed if you don't activate it first.

The keyboard is very useable and there is almost no flex in it. I didn't buy the Eee PC to write an encyclopedia, I bought it for when we travel to read email, etc. The touchpad operation/sensitivity can be improved by going into the hardware setup and setting the touchpad sampling rate to 20, the minimum value.

The wireless b/g/n connection works well with my Linksys WRT54G2 router and I can see and logon to several neighbors' networks as well.

I haven't tested the battery run-time but the battery meter with a wireless connection and the Bluetooth turned off indicates at least 5 hours after a full charge.

The included neoprene sleeve is excellent, I intend to carry the Eee PC in the sleeve inside an 11" boarding bag when we travel.

I'm very impressed
So I got this bad boy in via UPS this morning and so far I am very pleased. I selected super saver shipping and got this in two days of it becoming instock after preorder phase so that was pretty cool. Anyway back to the item in hand. It definetly lives up to the hype and i'll tell you why...

It is very sexy looking for a net book and when I showed a couple neighbors they where impressed with it's look as well.

It is easy to type on for the most part. There is a slight adjustment to the placement of certain keys but I don't believe it should take more than a week to get into that comfort zone. I've used smaller netbooks and this one is a vast improvement in terms of size.

Bluetooth is awesome! I conected to my bluetooth enabled Samsung Yp2 mp3 players and performed a wireless transfer of a few movies and some music. I'm sure when it is time for me to connect to my cell phone for internet access it will work just as easily. BTW wireless N is the shiznit.

Oh yeah this thing has XP which I hate to say is just outright better than vista. I've tried to like my vista Acer laptop but it just sucks. Its dual core and all but it feels much slower than this ASUS.

Oh yeah it is whisper quite and does not get hot at all. Hardly even qualifies as warm after running Rhapsody, and having several tabs on Opera open at once.

But I will admit that while the screen is super bright and unreflective the picture was not as sharp as I invisioned. I mean it is still pretty crisp, but not quiet what I expected (although my expectations were through the roof after reading reviews of the 80gb model.)

Hope this little review of mine helps any buyers out there narrow down there choices. Holla.

Asus Eee PC's 901, 1000h, 1000 Compared Side by Side

The original EEE PC was announced in 2007 and was known as the 701, it was almost certainly one of the most talked about computers shortly after its launch.

The specs of the EEE PC 701 were not that impressive, it featured pretty basic technology. The reason it was popular? Well that's because it is so tiny, and very reasonably priced. The fact that the early versions only ran Linux didn't seem to put people off either. Asus did however ship the EEE PC with windows drivers so that it was possible to install windows on it yourself if you wanted.

The 901 is an 8.9" version of the EEE PC which is powered using Intel's new Atom processor and was launched to update the product line. Although the Atom doesn't add much speed to the computer it does make it much more efficient in terms of battery life.

The 1000 model is one of the most anticipated computer releases of the year! It has received some very good reviews. Asus will also release a 1000H model which is identical in spec apart from it using a conventional 80GB hard drive rather than the 40GB SSD. This will be the first ever EEE PC to contain a hard drive.

Comparing the specs:

Asus EEE PC 701 (original)- 7" 800x480, Linux Only (Windows drivers included), 900MHz Celeron (underclocked to 630Mhz), 802.11n wireless networking, 512MB - 1GB DDR2, 2 - 8GB SSD, 895 - 990g.

Asus EEE PC 901 (8.9") - 8.9" 1024x600 Windows XP Home or Linux, Intel Atom Processor, 802.11n wireless networking, 1 GB DDR 2, 20GB SSD, 1.1kg.

Asus EEE PC 1000 (10") - 10"/10.2" 1024x600, Windows XP Home or Linux Intel Atom Processor, 802.11n wireless networking, 2 GB DDR 2, 40GB SSD, 1.33kg.

Asus EEE PC 1000H (10" with HDD) - 10"/10.2", 1024x600 Windows XP Home or Linux Intel Atom Processor, 802.11n wireless networking, 2 GB DDR 2, 80GB SSD, 1.45kg.

As you should be able to see, the new models are a great improvement on the older spec, however people that want a small computer still have to put up with the pretty dire specs of the 701. As a second computer the original EEE PC is ideal. Newer models are being shipped with better specs and even Windows XP installed as standard, this makes them a much more enticing and useful computer.

Many other computer manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon to provide small computers like the EEE PC; other examples include the HP MiniNote 2133 and Lenovo's X300. Many of these models are also available in different configurations, including conventional and SSD hard drives.

What does the future have in store for the EEE PC? Only time will tell, if you listen to the rumors then there are even plans to launch a desktop EEE PC onto the market at some time in the future. The future looks very bright for all sub notebook computers, especially for the EEE PC, which is perhaps the most famous of them all!

Asus Eee PC Reviews on Amazon

Considering Buying Asus Eee PC 1000? Read This First!

Even if you don't know much about Asus you have probably almost certainly heard about the EEE PC, it's a very popular sub notebook computer. It was the first affordable subnotebook, or netbook computer to be launched.

The original EEE PC's had 7" screens which was far too small for most people. Recently Asus has added two new models to its line, including the EEE PC 901 and EEE PC 1000. The 901 has a larger screen and is available in both Windows XP and Linux configurations. Although the 901 is a great computer more people are excited about the EEE PC 1000. These are more expensive than the original EEE PC's, however they are still very good value. So what's the EEE PC 1000 got?

• 10" Screen
• 92% size keyboard compared to standard laptop keyboards
• 1.6GHz Intel Atom Processor
• A choice of windows XP or Linux
• 40GB SSD

Asus also produce an EEE PC 1000H model which is identical in spec, with the exception of the SSD being replaced with an 80GB conventional hard drive.

The 1000H is the first EEE PC to come with a conventional hard drive. This machine is designed to compete with the already popular HP Mininote computer. The only real complaint that people had with the original EEE PC was that the keyboard and screen size was a little too small. Now thanks to the 901 and 1000 there are two different options people have available.

The EEE PC 1000 is available with Windows XP preinstalled, or a Linux version. The Linux version is cheaper than the XP version; however XP will make it much easier for more people to use. Again this could be in line with competing machines.

The keyboard size is a very impressive improvement, the keyboard is only slightly smaller than a standard laptop computer keyboard it's actually 92% the size of a standard laptop computer keyboard. This makes typing much easier than with the original models; the cramped keyboard was actually one of the only complaints with the original EEE PC.

There will no doubt be plenty more EEE PC's released further down the line, what's in store for us? Well we'll have to wait to find out! A touch screen would be a fantastic addition to the EEE PC as it would make it even easier to use.

The great thing about these computers is that they are very affordable, even models with windows XP are much cheaper than many other subnotebook computers. All of the EEE PC 1000 models are run using Atom processors, which are a new processor created by Intel, this makes it very efficient to use. The EEE PC 1000 does not have any optical drives, and when using the SSD drive there are no moving parts inside the computer. This makes it the ideal PC to travel with.

ASUS Eee PC 1000H 80G

Customer Reviews

I love it!
I bought an Asus Eee PC 701 4G as a secondary laptop when they first came out and was the envy of everyone that saw it. I immediately installed an nlited version of XP Pro and installed 1GB of ram. I thought I really had something and liked it even though the screen was a little small for me.

Then I heard about 900 and the 901. Pass! Not impressed. Then along came the Eee PC 1000H. Right up my alley. Had to have it. Sold my 701 and ordered the 1000H. LOVE IT, LOVE IT! As others have noted, the right shift key is out of place, but I am not a touch typist so it doesn't matter to me. Not crazy about the glossy exterior finish because it shows every little smudge of a finger print, but again, only a minor annoyance. The LED backlit display is really bright. So much so that you can turn it way down and still see it good while also conserving battery power. I like the nice sized multi-touch trackpad, although the buttons are a little stiff. My favorite feature is the built in bluetooth. Yes I know they now make itty bitty dongles that you can leave in the computer, but I don't want anything sticking out the side of my computer. Besides, it would then be taking up an otherwise useful usb port. With one mouse click I can connect to my T-Mobile Blackberry Curve through bluetooth to sync, transfer a file or connect to the internet and not miss a call. I love that! I also use a bluetooth Microsoft 5000 laptop mouse, bluetooth stereo headset for watching movies or listening to music, and my bluetooth headset for my phone also works with Skype.
The much improved camera resolution is great with Skype. I don't know where they got that 7hr battery life spec from. I seem to get about 4.5 - 5hrs with wifi and bluetooth on. I could go on and on, but you get the point, it's just great.

I read a lot of reviews and was initially leaning toward the MSI Wind until the price of the 1000H came down, then it was a no brainer for me. I didn't get into all the technical aspects of it because there are plenty of tech reviews for that. I just want to let you know my overall opinion coming from an average Joe with 2 desktops (1 Dell, 1 HP) and 3 other laptops (1 Sony, 2 Dells), that I am more than pleased with my 1000H and will be using it MUCH more than the 701 4G it replaced. By the way, I didn't notice the keyboard flex or fan noise that others have mentioned.

I love Amazon for the free shipping and no tax. Go Amazon!

Eee PC 1000 XP 6-Cell
This is a beautiful computer. It has a shiny, smooth, black case that is much more attractive than I thought it would be. It boots up om less than a minute and you're ready to go.

On the downside, the keyboard is very small, but this wouldn't be a problem if the touch pad weren't so sensitive. You must constantly watch the screen when you're typing or else you'll lose track of the cursor. I use a wireless mouse, but when using a mouse the touch pad does not disable. This is more of a problem than you might think. You have to be very careful when you're typing. XP works well and Works has a great word processor. I tried to download Norton, but I kept getting a message that it won't work with this version of XP. For the Internet, I downloaded Firefox. However Forefox and Explorer drop out very once in a while. You'll be in the middle of a search, and suddenly you're back to your desktop. I got the six cell battery and I'd guess the real life using the word processor is about 4.5 hours, but I haven't run it completely out.

All in all, I love this computer. I bought it to write out on the road and, for that purpose it works great. The next time I buy one, however, I will opt for a larger keyboard, and a disabled touch pad.

Eee PC 1000H "Excellent Product"
Received Eee PC 1000H today on time. Opened it up and followed installation instructions. Set Up was very easy, I got on internet using "Wired Connection" and "WireLess Connection" I can type on key board just like a full size computer. EXCEPT: As noted by others "Right Shift Key" is a pain to use. I can live with that though. Other than that I am very happy with purchase. I used it for 4 hours pluged into AC power, it never got overly warm. I am thinking of buying a second one for my wife. Comes with nice slip case w/zipper. I also ordered a stick of 2GB memory to replace the 1GB stick, but it has not arrived, yet. But, to tell you the truth it runs very fast, just using 1 GB. I installed firewall, Antivirus and surfed internet, at same speeds as my desktop. VERY HAPPY WITH THIS LAPTOP.
