5 Stars Product as advertised
I have had my computer for a while now. I must have read 300 reviews before making my mind up to purchase. The battery time was the most important feature to me. This computer is everything promised and more. If you have been thinking about buying this model DO IT you won’t be sorry.
Also my experience with Amazon was terrific as expected. It is so easy to order I ended up pushing the order button twice. When I got my 2nd acknowledgment in the middle of the night I sent an E-mail and someone called me RIGHT BACK. Both orders were already in process and couldn’t be stopped. They told me to refuse the second one and they would credit my account when they got it back. No problems whatever.
I ordered the blue one although there were comments about finger prints. It is not that bad and I am glad I got that color.
5 Stars Excellent Eee PC 1000HE Netbook
I purchased the ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10-Inch Netbook (1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 10 GB Eee Storage, Bluetooth, XP Home, 9.5 Hour Battery Life) Blue
Netbook in March 2009. I upgraded to 2 GB of RAM with no problem. I use this netbook to transcribe my recorded class notes and for internet access. I am very happy with my purchase. I looked at several netbooks in this price range and decided on the Eee PC because of the keyboard and the battery life. The keyboard on the Asus Eee PC is a scaled-down duplication of the keyboard on my larger/heavier HP laptop. I like the feel of the larger ergonomic chiclet keyboard and the right shift key is in the correct place for typing. The mouse pad location causes the mouse pointer to jump around when I rest my wrists on the edge of the keyboard, so I try to either not do that or disable the mouse pad and use a USB mouse instead. The long battery life is for real!!!! This netbook travels everywhere with me as it is my primary tool for internet communication. It fits very nicely in a shoulder bag that measures 9 inches tall, 13 inches long, and 5 inches thick (9×13x5). In this bag I also carry the power cord and the USB mouse. As I said, it is a shoulder bag that is very easy (and light) to carry and it also fits into my motorcycle saddle bags. Although the blue Eee PC shows fingerprints, I love the color. I have no problems picking up network connections wherever I go. Compared to the other computers/laptops I use in my life, this one is slower to connect to and surf the internet with. For me, that was a small trade-off. I am running Windows XP and the Bluetooth mouse I purchased did not work well, so I returned it and use a USB mouse or the mouse pad. It was a good purchase that I would do again.
5 Stars Exactly as I hoped it would be
I received my new Asus EEE1000HE last week and so far am very pleased.
It is almost as fast as my larger Lenovo T42 laptop, but has even more hard drive memory. I will be taking this with on long distance motorcycle trips with very little room to pack a bigger laptop,and will now be able to do a little work when I get free time. The battery life is exceptionally good even with the bluetooth and the webcam turned on. The keyboard is a comfortable size and easy to operate, though the trackpad buttons are a little stiff.
If you are looking for a good portable computer, I recommend the Asus EEE 1000HE.
I will be installing a 2 gig ram, soon, but it works well as it came out of the box.
5 Stars ASUS EeePC
I bought the EeePC to use when traveling. I got tired of having to go to the cities’ library and wait to use their machines. This PC rocks!!!! It is so easy to use. I especially like how fast it responds. Never having used a netbook before I’m still getting used to the light touch. I would highly recommend ASUS to anyone who wants a light, fast machine that doesn’t take a 2 pound manual to learn to use.
5 Stars Best Netbook out there!
After reading all the good things about the Netbook, I had to get it.
First, it is lightweight and portable. Some sacrafices are made for this size. There is no DVD drive or number pad on this unit. If you need those items, go for a much larger Notebook. That being said, this Netbook is great! Yes, I did install the 2 GB of 667Mhz memory. That was one easy upgrade. Next, I wanted to see how it worked on a newer version of Windows so I installed Windows 7 on the second partition “D” drive. The 160 GB hard drive is already split in two so I figured that was perfect for my test. The best thing is, you don’t need an external DVD drive to install the OS. You just download Magic Disc,
( http://www.magiciso.com/index.htm ) and it will make a virtual DVD drive for you. Then mount the iso on the virtual DVD drive and install! Very easy. I haven’t tried to mount a DVD movie on there yet but I think it will work. Just need an 8GB Flash drive to transfer it.
Anyway, I love the keyboard and controls. Not worried about fingerprints on the outside. This Netbook is a “Take anywhere you go” unit that is very fast and portable. Well worth every dollar. Runs Windows XP and Windows 7 RC like a charm with no problems. One thing to do is if you run it without an ac adaptor, the backlight will go down and make it hard to see. Just press fn plus F6 and it will lighten up as you wish. I highly recomend this unit.
