ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10-Inch Netbook Review

"The battery life with my "normal usage" runs about 8 hours, though I haven't put it on power-saving mode to see if that's much longer. "

"I've found that the 1000HE picks up my home's network very easily and the internet speeds transfer very well."

"I type thirty or so pages a week between three different computers. The keyboard on this little guy works great for my purposes. I'm 6'3", 280 lb. and yeah, I have big hands. - Minimal bloatware. Took just a couple minutes to remove the stuff I didn't want. "

"While it was no use to me, it came with some basic office programs already loaded. Just one of many things Asus did to try and make this netbook ready to use straight out of the box."

"It attracts finger prints like bees to flowers. Get skins/decals/stickers for the outside cover if you're really OCD."

"Bulky. The wife has a 1002HA with a 2 cell battery and it is soo slim and strim looking compared to mine. Hers is a half pound lighter too. She still gets 4-5 hours of battery life out of hers even with the smaller battery."

Portions of actual user comments on Amazon.com Pros: Light and Quick Up front, the package is inexpensive. You definitely get the bang for your buck Bright, brilliant screen with an excellent viewing angle. Large, more comfortable keyboard; touch typing is incredibly easy to get used to. Long battery life;Handled unplugged for over seven hours without a recharge. Exactly the amount of power and speed that I need from a computer, I'm able to run games like (GTA: San Andreas, UT2004, and Neverwinter Nights) without breaking a sweat, edit photos and stream videos through the wireless card. The power-saving hotkeys are really useful. Most of the time I don't notice the difference between 'Power-Saving' mode and 'Super Performace' mode, which means for normal usage I'ts saving a lot of battery life. Attractive and practical design. It has a good display and decent sound... for a netbook. Cons:* The volume is a bit too low on the speakers Has a small resolution of 1024 x 600 Some of the presets are too closely linked to "scroll up and down" on the multi-touch pad It attracts finger prints, get skins/decals/stickers for the outside cover if it bothers you
