performance

Slightly faster Intel Atom CPU fails to impress
two-finger scrolling was slow
No Gigabit Ethernet, two-finger scrolling was slow, no fingerprint reader, no expansion slot, no built-in 3G module
No real performance benefits over the N270 processor
Celeron-M Processor

Intel Atom processor
Fast to boot
Faster CPU
good performance
runs slightly faster than previous models

I cant imagine why anyone would want to waste so much processor power
but noticed an extensive slowdown in performance some of the time
The primary is ok performing - 12meg/sec write from what I've read- the second one is hideously slow at 4 meg/sec
SSD's are only as fast as a 5400rpm drive and are in mini-pcie format
which are expensive and not as fast as the latest SATA SSD's
SSD's are only as fast as a 5400rpm drive and are in mini-pcie format, making them 'weird' and leaving you only Runcore SSD's to purchase, which are expensive and not as fast as the latest SATA SSD's
All the required paper work was documented and sent in to the rebate processor
It did have a hard lock up recently but pushing the reset pin on the bottom fixed that problem rather quick
Even with the new processor the computer seems to lag a tiny bit with Internet Explorer
Performance
Performance, but hey what do you expect
its the older crappier fake wireless N that runs at 2.4ghz freq NOT 5ghz freq and 65Mbps speed instead of 300Mbps like the real Wireless N Draft does
System slow downs if you leave it on power saver mode
System slow downs if you leave it on power saver mode, can't do few small multi task at the same time
and set the CPU to the highest performance setting (there's a button for that too.)
VMware ran a bit slow but it was expected while encoding a dvd
With only a 1.66 ghz processor
I suppose if you left the performance setting to LOW (movie playback suffers with this setting however
I suppose if you left the performance setting to LOW (movie playback suffers with this setting however, especially the audio
Not as fast as my old 1.5 GHz Centrino Duo
Most of the time the speed difference isn't noticeable
but does still perform really well regardless
would have liked a faster hard disk
resulting in the fan running almost constantly even though the processor and motherboard themselves barely heat up at all
Hard drive gets warmer than I would've expected, resulting in the fan running almost constantly even though the processor and motherboard themselves barely heat up at all
The 5400rpm hdd also seems a bit on the slow side when compared to other 5400rpm hdds in laptops like the Macbook
The 5400rpm hdd also seems a bit on the slow side when compared to other 5400rpm hdds in laptops like the Macbook, but it's easy to replace it if this really bothers you
but it's fairly fast even when connectivity is low
I'm thinking the WLAN might not be as powerful as one you might find in a regular $1000 laptop, but it's fairly fast even when connectivity is low
it sucks very slow
my old 701 seemed faster
slow

Power Button (needs a fair amount of pressure
A bit picky but I don't like the feel of the power button
quality control -- the power supply died after just one day
Screen brightness turned all the way down and the machine set to power saver mode (which is still a perfectly respectable amount of muscle)
power button is a bit of a con if you have large fingers

compact power brick
small power adaptor
and power cables all tucked in nicely together
and goes to 1.6 G when more processing power is needed
The processor steps down to 800 to save on power, and goes to 1.6 G when more processing power is needed

When I hit the power button
When I hit the power button, it immediately went to the "Start Windows Normally, Safe mode, last known good configuration, etc." screen
netbook slows down to save power
in power saving mode
In power saving mode you can: word process

Unless you have a power saving mode on, in which case it is locked to 800 Mhz
Asus has a little addon that allows you to OC the comp or put it into a power saving mode
Asus has a little addon that allows you to OC the comp or put it into a power saving mode, much like Vista allows
I almost never have worry about losing power
I almost never have worry about losing power, even when my external DVD-RW is attached with my USB mouse
Power to get the Job Down
Lasted the 5 hour trip home in power saving mode
Tiny power brick
I leave the power setting on "auto"
I leave the power setting on "auto", and get 7½
with enough power for everyday tasks
but has great punch of power and good batt life
The Eee PC 1000he is very compact, but has great punch of power and good batt life

The screen is awesome, for me you can not beat no glare with a stick
Screen gives off no glare

You'll have to put your own dongle in and look like a numpty in Starbucks
Should have gone with another color probably, but I'm a sucker for gloss black

nice form factor
Small form-factor
sleek
Small, sleek
Sleek form factory

so I'm sure part of my positive impression is based on not having the machine crippled with Windows XP

battery

Screen and hard drive have an impact on battery life
And that beefy battery comes at a cost: at 1.45kg
And that beefy battery comes at a cost: at 1.45kg, the 1000HE weighs an absolute brick for a netbook
What's the point in creating a netbook with such a long battery then failing to kit it out with many mobile internet options
while the battery's good

Excellent battery life
Stunning battery life
Great battery life
Enormous battery life
Good battery life

And okay, while the battery's good, it comes at a cost: It weighs 1.45kg
A bit heavy for a netbook (excluding battery)
has all the features and a battery life that leaves everyone else in the dust
The Eee 1000HE beats out everyone else in your benchmarks, has all the features and a battery life that leaves everyone else in the dust
well it says it lasted for 8 hours max
but mine is only 5 hours max :S
My eyesight isn't so good so I get eyestrain well before the battery goes flat
Never have seen 6 hours of battery, linux is not a product, its more of a product, but fun nonetheless
better battery life
I get 5 hours which is pretty good but I want more
it only worked for a couple of hours and then I had the same problem
After RMA for repair, it only worked for a couple of hours and then I had the same problem
These problems happened both on AC and battery
In order to get the 7.5 hours of runtime they advertise you have to have everything turned off and down
The description claims you can get 7 hours of computing on one charge
Battery Life for 3 cell version is about 2 hours
Battery life isn't as good as advertised but you still get 4 to 5 hours
I've had this thing for a little over two months and the battery is already faulty
It started about a month into my ownership when my windows would only report my battery charging to 93%
the ability for the battery to charge dropped steadily down and now it will only charge to 30% and only run on the battery for about an hour
Over the course of the next month, the ability for the battery to charge dropped steadily down and now it will only charge to 30% and only run on the battery for about an hour
The battery will not get 7 hours if you are using it reasonably
but the battery lasted about 5 hours and 45 minutes or so with moderate-heavy usage
I was playing cards, listening to music, and playing around on the wifi with no slowdown, but the battery lasted about 5 hours and 45 minutes or so with moderate-heavy usage
the battery life is about 5.5 hours
the battery life after about a month would last a little over 30min even on power save mode and 20% brightness and the system was shocking me
not enough to hurt but shocking me nonetheless obvious what the issue was with the battery at the point
Asus's customer support is the worst i have ever seen , i am a neat freak especially about my electronics immediately after being impressed with the beauty of the device the system is tarnished after being handled immediately, i found that easy to get over, the battery life after about a month would last a little over 30min even on power save mode and 20% brightness and the system was shocking me, not enough to hurt but shocking me nonetheless obvious what the issue was with the battery at the point, the following a few days after that screen started to show dead spots all along the bottom with no color or picture to it whatsoever with no physical damage to the system
I received the system and the first thing I did was install and charge the battery for a couple hours
The battery makes this model less 'trim' than some other offerings
Better battery makes netbook heavier than most
The 320 gig 7200 rpm drive seems to lower battery time to about 7:30 min instead of the 9 hours as listed
The 320 gig 7200 rpm drive seems to lower battery time to about 7:30 min instead of the 9 hours as listed, my fault not the netbooks
I knew I was not going to get 9.5 hours off the battery
but im only getting around 6.5 hours of that with it just idling...Oh well 6.5 is still good
I knew I was not going to get 9.5 hours off the battery, but im only getting around 6.5 hours of that with it just idling...Oh well 6.5 is still good
9 hours seems like a bit of an over statement
9 hours seems like a bit of an over statement, id say around 7.5-8 tops
no spare batteries available yet
Glossy Finish around Screen, No Docking stations available as far as I know, no spare batteries available yet
but battery life is shorter
If you leave it on balance saver, netbook performs better, but battery life is shorter
If you want up to 9 hrs of battery life
If you want up to 9 hrs of battery life, netbook slows down to save power
Power brick get's a little hot when charging the battery (normal for this model)
but after 3 hours i feel i have it down
poor QC mine was missing 2 screws that hold on the battery door
This is after only 11 hours of use
Power saving mode is the mode that gets you the advertised 8-9 hours of battery life
you must switch to high or super performance mode which drains the battery in 5-6 hours
In order to watch streaming video on the web, have several windows open at once, or multitask, you must switch to high or super performance mode which drains the battery in 5-6 hours
The battery is advertised at 9.5 hours
you could theoretically get close to 9.5 hours
it is closer to 5-6 hours of "realistic" usage
More realistically, it is closer to 5-6 hours of "realistic" usage
and has 2x longer battery life
Then again, it weighs 1/3 as much, is 1/2 the size, and has 2x longer battery life
as the case was designed around its larger battery and is thicker for this reason
It's thicker than any other netbook on the market, though I don't personally mind, as the case was designed around its larger battery and is thicker for this reason
but imho the awesome battery life is worth the little extra heft
It's also the heaviest at 3.2 lbs, but imho the awesome battery life is worth the little extra heft
The power-management settings are pretty tight in order to meet the battery life claims I had to back those off as it was getting annoying hitting the power button frequently
With the 6-cell battery
as it's well worth a little extra weight for more battery life
The battery does not last quite as long as is advertised
It does last for 6+ hours rather easily
thick battery
less than 7 hours usage on a full charge

Extremely long battery life
Unbelievably long battery life
Incredible battery life / Larger screen size for a netbook / Solid look and feel / Good connectivity
7000mAh battery is a marathon runner
Best of all though, the 8,7000mAh battery is a marathon runner
you'll still get over 7 hours from carrying out simple tasks
While it won't run for the claimed 9.5 hours unless you shut off Wi-Fi, dim the screen and squint at a word document all day, you'll still get over 7 hours from carrying out simple tasks, and that, friend, is mammoth
Great battery life
Solid battery life
Impressive Battery Life
7.5-hr battery life
7000mAh battery
The best bit about this netbook, though, is the 8,7000mAh battery
so it won't last the full 9.5hr claimed battery life
but you'll definitely get more than seven hours life from it
Okay, so it won't last the full 9.5hr claimed battery life, unless you turn off every app, but you'll definitely get more than seven hours life from it

My one major gripe is that the LED back-lit screen is a bit blue-ish, (can be corrected easily in the color correction
The SSD is also not one hard drive: it has an 8GB primary and a 30GB secondary
SSD is actually "two" SSDs - the 7gig primary and the rest is on a secondary drive

Great color
I went with the white to avoid finger prints

The shell of the Laptop was a Pinkish Red with white snowflakes over the side, which made my wife assume it was an early Christmas gift
i wish theere was a better color choiceother that pink and green
i would like a red color
the following a few days after that screen started to show dead spots all along the bottom with no color or picture to it whatsoever with no physical damage to the system
I'll just buy a skin to put on the top
Should have gone with another color probably
If you leave it on balance saver
I shouldn't have to buy a skin or clean this thing constantly
and I would have prefered a nice shade of green :)
buy a skin
so I custom made a skin for the top of the case
It is much better with the skin

Also if you were thinking after a while that you wanted to ditch the SSD and opt for a regular laptop hdd you can't the only interface available is mini pci E you can actually see where the IDE interface would be when you pop the back off

Didn't like the glossy finish
Glossy finish leaves scratches and fingerprints very easily
As people stated in other reviews the only negative thing i can see so far is that gloosy finish it has it gets dirty very fast
Glossy Finish around Screen

pearly finish
Attractive, pearly finish
Nice touchy finish to it and solid built
Screen was a matte finish instead of the glossy one usually finds on these units

Fingerprints are very obvious with the glossy finish
the blue finish seem quite the magnet but the mico-cloth is better than most so easy fix
Yes, fingerprints, the blue finish seem quite the magnet but the mico-cloth is better than most so easy fix

Speakers not the best but you can play with the realtek audio settings to make it sound better
I hear an occasional screeching sound

great perfomance sound
The sound quality from the speakers varies on where your laptop is sitting if its on a hard surface they sound a hell of a lot better than say on your lap or on a pillow
i luv the dolby sound room
The new dolby surround speakers they put in do sound better than the old tinny ones
They have designed the speakers so that the sound goes out toward you and the vents so that it still breathes when it's sitting on top of you

HP and Dell are doing that and it makes the sound quality much better
the sound is rather weak
I could still watch movies in the back of a noisy C-17 cargo plane
Yes, like all others have already repeatedly said, the sound is rather weak, but with my noise cancelling headphones, I could still watch movies in the back of a noisy C-17 cargo plane

change the screen resolution to 800x600 (there's a convenient button for that though)
without it being choppy I had to close all other applications and a few background processes, change the screen resolution to 800x600 (there's a convenient button for that though), and set the CPU to the highest performance setting (there's a button for that too.)
