 EXCELLENT NETBOOK FOR THE PRICE Oct 08, 2009
Great piece of tecnologhy, very fast and reliable even with 1Gb of memory, so far I have got 6 hours of battery life working without turning off the machine. I am very pleased with the perfomance of the netbook in everyway. 1005 recommended.
Little book lotsa spunk. Oct 02, 2009
Well, I knew getting a net book I was going down in size, in screen, in keyboard, but then again, that is what I was asking for. I was afraid that the less memory, weaker processor, and smaller hard drive them my regular laptop would be a problem, but it hasn't. I found that for most of the applications that I need a portable machine, this has more then enough power. The 75GB hard drive (as with most computers, the stats say 80GB, but then define "GB" as Billion Bytes, instead of Giga Bytes), is far more then enough, and I added 2 word processors, an accounting program, a graphic editor, a schedule program, Firefox and Chrome browsers, some general programs, a collection of MP3s, and of course a few games. The only problem that arose is, since it has Windows XP Home instead of XP Pro, opening up a VPN tunnel to my network has been a problem. Still working on that. Overall a great machine.
 A great "every day" travel computer Sep 04, 2009
This is my second netbook. The first was also an Asus, the Eee PC 701. The 701's screen resolution was too small for my web site content management system, and its solid-state disk was too small to store much. I switched to the Asus Eee PC 1000H with Windows XP about a year ago and haven't regretted it for a moment.
The 10" screen with 1024x600 resolution is enough for most things I want to do. Occasionally I run into an application or web site designed for a higher resolution that doesn't work as well with the 1000H, but that's not common.
The 1.6GHz CPU has allowed me to run Windows XP, Windows 7 Ultimate, Ubuntu Linux, and some other operating systems without any significant performance impact. Coupled with 2GB of RAM, I've been able to run Office applications, web browsers, email, photo editing, audio editing, and other software without any hint that I'm not on a "real" laptop. While I'd stop short of saying it can do "anything", as long as you're not looking to watch high-definition video or play high-end 3D games, it will probably do what you want it to do. But if you need a lot of horsepower, look elsewhere.
I upgraded my hard disk drive to a 320GB 7200rpm model a few months back, not because of any problems, but because I wanted some increased flexibility. My 320GB drive now has room to boot between XP, Windows 7, and Linux as I choose.
The built-in SD card slot is SDHC compatible, which means you can plug in an 8GB or 16GB SD card (as well as the smaller ones). That makes it a handy backup device for your documents should your hard disk fail. It's also handy on vacation and travel. I took my digital camera and the netbook to a convention recently. Both of them in my backpack were so light I barely knew they were there. I shot pictures with the camera. At lunch, I pulled out the netbook, popped in the camera's SD card, used the restaurant's WiFi, and uploaded my pictures to the web. Very cool!
Because the 1000H uses a low-power Atom CPU, battery life is really good. My 17" HP notebook runs a couple of hours before its battery is gone. The Asus gets a minimum of 4 hours of normal use (defined as basic applications, WiFi web browsing and email, and the like), with typical being closer to 6. I could probably get longer life shutting off the WiFi and Bluetooth, but I haven't needed to do that.
You'll notice I've given the machine 4 stars out of 5, so clearly I don't think it's perfect. The flaws are pretty minor in the big scheme of things, but worth noting. The right-hand shift key is a small key next to the arrow keys. That takes some getting used to, and if I spend any time away from the netbook, I have to readjust my typing. Apart from that, my hands find the keyboard very touch-typable (though if I had thicker fingers I'd probably hate it). The outer case is very shiny black, which looks good when it's clean but is very easy to muck up with fingerprints. Fortunately, I am not that worried about the appearance, so I don't do much to keep it clean. My only other complaint is that Asus has done a good job keeping most of the device extremely light, but the battery (which is at the back of the unit) is the heftiest part. It tends to make the netbook a little "unbalanced" to carry around. I find that carrying it with my hand wrapped around the battery area eliminates that problem, but I have to be careful when handing it to someone else.
In the year I've owned it, I've found this to be a decent-performing, light, very usable, solid little machine. It can't replace my desktop, and doesn't replace all the functionality of my full-size laptop (which, for example, can play World of Warcraft while the Asus can't). But it's small, light, easy to transport, and provides the functionality I use most with excellent battery life. I'm very pleased with it.

 fatal flaw in this ASUS keyboard Jul 07, 2009
Beware. Anything good in this machine is counterbalanced by a truly terrible element of the keyboard design. You'll notice that the up arrow key is just below the
enter key. On most keyboards, the shift key is below the enter key so if you miss, nothing bad happens. On this machine, it was fairly often the case that when I tried for enter, I got the up arrow and it threw me into a different part of the document. It was unbearable. I had to return it to Amazon.
Better performance than you might expect Mar 21, 2009
This netbook has exceeded my expectations. I read reviews comparing most of the current 10" netbook offerings before deciding on this one and I have not been disappointed. If you're concerned about the keyboard size, it's about 85% the size of a standard notebook keyboard - very easy to get used to. Go down to your local Best Buy or Costco and take a look at their floor models. What I wasn't expecting was the performance to be as good as it is. I download a lot of videos for play back on my LCD TV and the image is as sharp and smooth as it is with my Toshiba Centrino notebook. I did buy the 2GB memory upgrade, but performance was fine with the standard 1GB. Mine came with a 4 cell battery, which is good for 3.5-4hours. Purchased an after-market 8 cell off eBay and now can get 7.5-8 hours.
One final note: Open Office is compatible with and as easy to use as the MS Office suite. It's also free (donations accepted)
