Asus Eee PC 1000H - One of the nicest netbooks to date

Advantages: Nice keyboard, great screen, goog build quality
Disadvantages: Price

...I was very lucky to get our Asus Eee PC 1000H today. The version I have here is a 10-inch Windows XP version, with 1GB RAM and an 80GB hard drive. Having only just unboxed the tiny wonder and played with it for around one hour, this is my very early impressions. Firstly, the accessories you get in the box make it seem a lot better value than other offerings. The stumpy, yet high capacity battery should yield much longer runtimes than the 3-cell batteries shipping with other netbooks. You also get a nice little manual, a polishing cloth, Support CD and MS Works 9.0 licence. There is also a slip case, which is functional and means you can get out-and-about with your Eee very quickly. The 1000H unit is very very sexy. Our model is in black and it has a very high gloss finish. It looks as thought it'll really be a fingerprint magnet, but...

ASSUS EEE pc - A great computer for people on the move

Advantages: Great battery life, great features etc
Disadvantages: Speakers are not very loud

...comes with 1GB out of the box, which is pretty standard for all netbooks, again this can be very easily upgraded for more demanding tasks. The ram upgrade is very cheap and hassle free, normally only costing £20. Sound Sound quality is great with this system, which is surprising with the size of the device and users can enjoy High definition audio. The volume is a little disappointing as tends to be a little quiet but this is the case with every netbook. Display With 1000h model you get a 10" display, which is much better than previous eee models. Everything is rendered very well on this machine and you can get up to a resolution of 1024 by 600 pixels which is great as some netbooks dont support this. Battery Life The battery life on this machine is really good. My eee 1000h can last anything up to 6 hours depending...

Review of ASUS Eee PC 1000H

Are ASUS Eee PCs worth the Money?

Advantages: Good battery life, Good specifications, Wireless N and Bluetooth
Disadvantages: Better netbooks available, Poor webcam

...theory, faster than normal hard drives. HDD is a drive containing a spinning disk much like PCs and most laptops. SSD storage is more expensive and so most of these versions have a lot less space than the HDD versions. i.e. 2GB up to a maximum of 40GB, with the Eee PCs. REASON FOR CHOICE The one I bought is the Eee PC 1000H, which is the 10.2", 80GB hard disk version with Windows XP Home pre-installed. I chose this one because I wanted a Windows version for compatibility, more space, longer battery life and comfortable screen size with an acceptable screen resolution. Although Linux is supposedly faster and more stable than Windows, I opted for Windows so that I can install more software on the machine. There may be programs that I want to install on the laptop in the future that will not run on a Linux operating system. I...

ASUS EEE PC 701 - Small but perfectly formed

Advantages: Size, Ease of Use
Disadvantages: Small keyboard, small screen

...This review looks at one of many netbooks to be released in the UK over the past few months, ASUS's EEE PC 701 SD. The model I have is fitted with Windows XP and has an 8Gb hard drive. I bought it on special offer for £155. Appearance The 701SD is absolutely tiny. It weighs around a kilogram and is roughly the same size as a hardback reading book when in the closed position. It comes in a neat box along with instructions,a mains charger, a protective case and a system CD. It has a 7 inch screen which is absolutely tiny but is still perfectly functional. The unit has three USB sockets, headphone and microphone jacks, and SD memory card slot, a small webcam above the screen and a microphone positioned just underneath the keyboard. It has a small touchpad which is small but works in exactly yhte same way as a normal sized laptop...

Small but perfectly formed?

Advantages: Great quality, good price, many features, works well, decent battery
Disadvantages: No HDMI/DVI

..., and an 80GB or 160GB hard drive. I'm reviewing the 1000H-BLK067X, which comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows XP and has a 160GB hard drive. All 1000H models share identical specifications in all other ways - a 10.1" display (1024x600 pixels), 1GB of memory, 802.11n wireless support, Bluetooth, and a small 1.3mp webcam above the screen. All this while weighing just 1.45k and offering a battery life of up to 7 hours! It also comes in a range of 4 colours - the traditional black and white, plus green and pink. The last two also have some small patterns on them on the lid. I went for the boring black option. The Laptop Itself Upon unpacking, the Eee PC makes a great first impression. It's small with a glossy paint finish, and a small "Eee" PC logo in the top corner. The hinge is rounded and large, and both looks and feels solid. Two...

Review of ASUS Eee PC 1000H

Pocket sized portability with the Asus Eee Pc 701

Advantages: Price, size, portability
Disadvantages: Processor power, memory capacity

...The ASUS EEE PC 701 model is an extremely affordable, small and portable netbook with a 7" screen and built in wifi card designed primarily for internet use. The standard model comes with a built in 2 gigabyte solid state hard drive and comes in a variety of colours and finishes ranging from matt white through to pastel pink. The white ones are probably your best bet as in my opinion they are slightly more stylish, echoing shades of the Macbook Air. The EEE PC comes with a built in microphone on all models and webcam on most models and runs on a Linux based operating system although it can be configured to run on a Windows based system. Windows based versions are planned for release by the company shortly. The Linux distribution is extremely stable with a Windows like user interface although for those not quite used to Linux you...

Review of Asus Eee PC 701

Good things come in all sizes...

Advantages: Light, portable, long battery life, good display and keyboard
Disadvantages: Limited storage

...I bought one of these about two months ago, and without a doubt I'd say this laptop has changed my life more than any other piece of computer equipment I've ever owned or encountered. If you're looking for a laptop for work, this is one to consider. Sitting, in size terms, between traditional, larger laptops and PDA devices, the Eee is brilliant for just about any situation where you need your computer on the move. I've used it on trains (both with and without a seat), coaches, cars - and even once while walking to a meeting. While it's light and small, the keyboard is very usable, and doesn't present the same kind of problems with tiny keys as you get on PDAs or Blackberrys. In terms of specification, the N270 can easily run most commonplace business programmes, although I wouldn't recommend it for any high-end graphical work (but...

Review of ASUS Eee PC 1000H

A year old and still going strong

Advantages: Small, tough, reliable, quite funky
Disadvantages: Not a lot -- gets a bit hot but so do all laptops

...My 1000H has just passed its first birthday after a lot of use. It's as good as the day it was bought, with nothing going wrong/ working loose/ wearing etc -- except for the battery which now lasts around 5.5hr rather than the six I got at the start. I'll live with that, given that it's far longer than nearly all laptops and most netbooks. It's built remarkably well and feels solid and tough in use. As for day to day use, to be honest on most days I manage perfectly well without my desktop as my little Asus does everything I need except for the desktop publishing which I do for work. Speed is remarkably good, even with mutliple windows open (well, two or three anyway). The 10" screen might be small but where I hold it on my lap means it doesn't feel small in use -- and when I use other people's 15" or 17" laptops they seem massive...

Review of ASUS Eee PC 1000H

Couldnt Deliver

Advantages: Uber portable
Disadvantages: Not enough power or memory to do anything but surf

...Well i should start off by saying i searched for quite some time specifically for a notepad/netbook style computer before I bought my eepc, believing it to be all I needed especially in terms of size and functionality . I wanted a small and ultra portable machine. I certainly got that. The laptop itself comes installed with Linux, I tried for a week to get along with this operating system but due to the fact it makes downloading anything unless you are a computer genius near on impossible I gave up. Having decided I missed windows so much my next task was to then replace linux with windows and here the fun really begins because due to its size it dosn't have a cd/dvd drive so onto ebay I went to look for an external drive, found one and £70 later it arrived at m home . I quickly downloaded Windows. Having now got my operating system in...

Asus EEE 4g

Advantages: Small and Portable, Cheap
Disadvantages: Small HD, No CD drive

...Well I just love this laptop. It is everything I want in a laptop. It does have a few minor flaws but the pros totally outweigh them. Appearance This laptop is a great looking laptop. Only the size of an A5 notepad, it is small and yet it still manages to look smart yet fun. I chose the baby blue cover for my asus eee but any colour looks just as good. Inside, the layout is neat and tidy with reasonable sized keys for this small laptop. The sides of the laptop look clean in simple as is to be expected with a small laptop like this. Without a CD drive, it allows more room for the 3 USB ports and SD slot allowing the back of the laptop to be left clear bar the power port. Overall, a great looking laptop. Function With such a small hard drive of only 4gb and a small amount of memory of 512mb, this laptop surprised...
