Asus Eee PC 1000H

I bought a Asus EEE PC 1000h in the month of august and after using it for one month, I can say that i am very impressed! The eee i got features Intel Atom processor along with 1 GB of memory (extendable to 2gb) and Windows XP home in Black colour. Installation was a breeze and the laptop was ready to run in minutes. The first thing you notice about eee is the fast boot up. The laptop is ready to use in 15-20 seconds with just 1 gb of RAM!!! Asus have done a good job in not including any unnecessary software. I installed all the required software and upgraded the BIOS. After using it for a month, below are the good and bad points: Good ...  Read the complete review

INTRO Asus (or AsusTek), are famous for their range of computer motherboards (the big circuit board in a PC). Nowadays, they've broadened their range to other computing items such as flat screen monitors, PDAs and even laptops. Now, speaking of laptops, Asus released their Eee PC range of laptops and these were the first 'netbooks' on the market. A netbook is a laptop (or notebook) but smaller and cheaper than a standard laptop. It's always been the case of, the smaller the laptop, the higher the price tag, since they would usually be classed as 'Ultra Mobile' laptops and would be just as powerful if not more powerful than normal laptops, but Asus changed ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION Asus are a relatively old company in the PC business, and previously focused exclusively on just desktop PC components. In the last few years they have branched out and launched everything from PC monitors to laptops. One of their more recent releases is the new range of netbooks, which they were at the forefront of - the Asus Eee PC 700 was the first mass produced netbook. With that history, you might expect great things of the 1000H model reviewed here. What is a netbook anyway? Also known as a "mini notebook" or "mini laptop", they are essentially small laptops for general use and web browsing on the go, ...  Read the complete review

I bought the Asus Ee PC 1000H last September as I was looking for a computer that I could take on Holiday with me, and that I could take camping with me as I like to blog what I'm doing. So the crucial points I was looking for were connectivity, battery life and weight. It delivered on all counts. It happily played ripped DVDs on a 4 hour flight, it weighs only about a kilo, and it doesn't feel like a sack of spuds sitting on your lap. The aspect ratio of the screen is the only let down for me. This is the 10 inch version and has a higher resolution screen than some others, but it sometimes feels like you are scrolling up and down a lot just to read a normal ...  Read the complete review

This is a really good little notebook. It's built really well, and feels rock solid, with nice materials and lovely shiny body (although yes, fingerprints are an issue!). My one issue with the design is that it probably isn't the most attactive of netbooks on the market, although it isn't that ugly! The keyboard is very good, as it has full size keys, so it's not a pain to type on. The touchpad is also very good, it's accurate and of a good size, and allows gestures so you can scroll with two fingers etc, which is a nice touch, and makes web browsing really easy. The screen, although small, is perfect for what the machine is designed to do, and if you keep ...  Read the complete review
