Blogger State Your Purpose has written a review of his New ASUS EEEpc 1000H. Being a bit of a geek, as soon as he unpacked it was upgrade time. He upgraded to the maximum 2GB and swapped out the 160GB Hard Drive for the 250Gb HDD he had in his Lenovo laptop.

After he’d played with the hardware, he messed around a little to install Vista Ultimate for what he states was “better battery options”. I’m a Vista hater so I won’t make any comments, His install went pretty well with the only issue being the external volume controls not working, but it looks like there is a fix for it when he has the time.

Overall State Your Purpose seems happy with his 1000H purchase and is reporting 3 to 3.5 hours of normal use battery life out of his set up.

Dan Nystedt from PCWorld got a prelaunch hands on test of the AsustekN10 which has now gone on sail in Taipei for NT$23,900 (approx US$725). So while it’s at the top end of the Netbook price range it does have a strong set of features.

  • 10″ Screen
  • 160GB HDD
  • 1GB DRAM
  • WIN XP
  • Bluetooth
  • Wireless b/g
  • Ethernet Cable

On the down side your only getting a three cell battery and at 1.4kgs it might be a bit more noticeable in the hand luggage.
