 Very nice August 21, 2008
I am very glad I got this computer. It is simply beautiful to look at and handle, and is very smart looking. It comes with a very nice travel protector.
The price is very reasonable and its capabilities are good. I like that I did not have to load up on extra accessories, and that I got a fully functioning computer for the straight price.
It does not take long to get up and running every time you turn in on.
I loaded up all of Microsoft Office with no problem. I got my wi-fi fixed up for home (though you should not expect to piggyback onto somebody else's wi-fi signal because it is not secure).
The battery, however, is good for three hours, and not seven since that is exactly what the little indicator says = 3 hours. I was hoping for that six/seven hours that was promised.
All in all, it is doing exactly what I intended, except for the wi-fi in downtown San Francisco.
And I love the 80 gigs of RAM.

The Asus EEE PC 1000h really lives up to the hype as usable well designed netbook. I have been using it at the office on the road and even in bed with for a week now. It has a really wonderful keyboard that I can actually type on comfortably. Seriously, I'm not the greatest typist but it's nice not to have to look at you fingers while you're typing an email. Generally the key are in the right place including the FN key. The battery life is also most satisfactory. I get about 3-4 hours surfing the net with the screen turned down to a low but readable level and the power saver on. With the screen down, the wireless off and the power saver on, the meter was reporting about 6.5 hours of use which is great! If get a better hard drive, it might get up to 8 hours. It also sips power when in sleep mode so I don't mind leaving it running when I walk away from it.
The screen is very readable for a 40+ person and gets more than sufficiently bright for indoor use. I have it set to just above 1/2 way most of the time. Admittedly I'm not crazy about the 1240x600 screen dimensions considering many web pages are designed for 1240x800. On the plus side, it is very easy to view from many angles and the contrast is surprising for such a budget computer. I haven't tried editing photographs on it yet, but am betting that it would do as well as any other lap top I've owned to date.
One of the great things about this budget computer is the access door on the bottom. Turning 2 screws gives you access to both the RAM and the hard drive Assembly. I replaced the memory with a 2gb OZC chip and it made a huge difference! A freeware benchmark program jumped from an 80 to 135 putting it in line with the full size $1000+ Toshiba that I purchased less than a year ago. Honestly, they perform tasks about equally as well even thought the Asus is nearly 2 LB lighter and runs 1-3 hours longer on battery that the Toshiba. I will probably upgrade the drive within a month or two once I decide on the new Hitachi hard drive or the OCZ solid state drive. Ether way, it's only a matter of a couple 4 screws and the just slipping it in; no cables, no adapters, no jumpers, no fuss! Last, is the touch pad which is a bit of a disappointment. It works great as a mouse pointer but is not very good for scrolling. The touch pad on my Toshiba is far superior with the scrolling on the right and bottom - way easier to use. For extended periods I use a Kennsington Slimblade mouse which worked within seconds of first being plugged in. Overall I'm very satisfied with the computer and will probably end up selling the Toshiba on eBay.

Let me start by saying that overall, I love it!
Now I'll give you a little more insight on it. The screen is just right once you place it in 1024 x 768 compressed resolution. However, It can handle up to 1920 x 1080 if you don't mind scrolling your desktop and it isn't recommended.
Overall it's performance is adequate. I have not tested it for any games, but it isn't designed for that. It also seems to be easy to upgrade as the back panel reveals the hard drive and memory.
The only reason I have given it 4 out 5 stars is because its battery life is 4-4.5 hours and not 7 hours as advertised. Perhaps they are referring to the solid state drive version. One may be able to squeeze a little more by lowering screen brightness and playing with other settings but realistically most people plug their laptops in so it may prove not to be an issue for you. The other slight draw back is that you need to purchase an external CD/DVD drive. However, this is not a requirement.
My final thoughts is that Asus has managed to squeeze alot of computer into a small package. Make no mistake this mini is no toy. Of course it would be easy for die-hard enthusiast to pick on this mini-laptop apart. but over all , "They done good" and the price is just right.
The Perfect Mini Laptop August 17, 2008

I have had the the eee pc 701 and 900 and the Msi Wind. The quality is excellent. Yes, the case does get finger prints. The screen is amazing. It is bright even on battery power. The system is powerful and runs fast. I put in a 2g memory card and it flys. I am also a Linux user. The problem is the wifi drivers do not yet work with Linux. But since the xp model is $150 cheaper then the Linux model, I could not justify the cost. I dual boot into Ubuntu and I have a Linksys USB wireless-g adapter that works fine in Linux. Thus my 1000H, runs both. The system is really nice. The keyboard is perfect and screen size is just right. Things to consider, the sleeve that Asus gives you is terrible, upgrading to 2g is easy and under $50 via Amazon. The 1000h is just as nice as the Wind, but, the Wind does not allow you to upgrade and not void the warranty. The Wind also had a 3 cell battery and the 1000H has a 6 cell. It does not last 7 hours, more like 4. It is a wonderful system. For those who want to boot of an external device, it "F2" before you see the windows banner. It boots very fast, and if you are not watching it will pass the bios.
Great value - great wow factor August 17, 2008

I am typing this review on my new 1000h. The keyboard feels almost as big as a regular laptop keyboard. It is comfortable to type on. For web browsing, 1024x600 resolution is sufficient. The built in webcam, the long batter life, and the light weight makes this ultra portable laptop well worth the $550 it cost to purchase.
You will want to upgrade the stock 1gb of ram to the max 2gb for $40.
Boot time is fast, and the ATOM processor seems fast too. Great buy for students and travelers!
