ASUS Eee PC 1000HE / 1000HA / 1000HD / 1000H / 1000 Expert Reviews

Biggest Netbook screen available ; huge solid-state hard drive ; decent-size keyboard

Asus's Eee PC kicked off the netbook craze in 2007, and now the grandmaster of small-and-shiny returns with its best Eee ever. The 1000HE combines the 901's extra-long battery life with the power and capacity of the 1002HA (which we reviewed in March) ...

While not as large or as comfortable as the keyboard on the HP Mini 1000, the chiclet keys on the 1000HE are a close second. Battery life is superb, too; we got more than five and a half hours on our standard full-screen video battery test-same as the ...

Though notebook manufacturers have managed to make netbooks ultra portable by shrinking down just about everything and doing away with nonessentials like optical drives, one aspect...

Extremely long battery life ; quality screen ; large hard drive ; clean Windows install ; compact power brick ; affordable

Bland styling ; chiclet-style keyboard

The first time people laid eyes on the Asus Eee PC 1000HE, at CES 2009, it was clear that this was going to be the next netbook to beat. The 1000HE follows up the 10-inch 1000H, which was a major hit, as well as systems that branched off the 1000x ...

Asus continues to define the netbook standard with the new Eee PC 1000HE.

Asus insists on using glossy surfaces on most of the Eee series netbooks, which looks nice but also attracts a lot of fingerprints. From the front you can see the tilted aluminum colored trackpad buttons even when the lid is closed, and it also has ...

Asus is the name synonymous with netbooks these days, and it is hard to believe that the past two years have seen significant leaps in terms of netbook technology from the humble Eee PC 701 that came with a 7" display and just 4GB of internal memory ...

Updated 3/6/2009 The final retail unit does not have a shared USB-eSATA port as originally reported.

Crisp backlit led screen Vastly better keyboard than previous Eee

Slightly twitchy trackpad

In the end, this is a fairly solid -- and sizable -- jump over what's come out just a few months earlier. In fact, I'd dare say that amongst the netbook pack, this is one of my current favorites and something that I'd highly recommend that you check ...

ASUS is well into double digits in the number of netbook variants it has launched, and this seasoning has finally paid off with its best one yet. What's more, the ASUS EeePC 1000HE ($400 street) dethrones the MSI Wind as the leader of the pack of pint ...

Effectively concealed six-cell battery. Excellent battery life. Uses the newest Intel Atom processor. Price is as competitive as that of the Acer Aspire One. New keyboard design. Gesture touchpad.

No real performance benefits over the N270 processor.

The ASUS EeePC 1000HE is the best netbook package that money can buy right now.
