thankyou!! for showing all sides of the netbooks. Its a shame that both pull air in from the bottom, but it looks like the asus 1000 has much smaller vents. I assume thats because they have better heat management. The MSI wind looked like it had _tons_ of venting on the bottom, which is a shame.
My bro lost a laptop because he was running it on his bed, and the sheets blocked the vents, thus overheating the computer.
I think the big battery for the asus actually helps, because it elevates.
The 1000 has a solid-state-drive (40GB) while the 1000hd has a 160 GB hard disk drive.
I have a 701 with the crappy xandros system, I’m going to install xubuntu or puppy linux.
Only problem is the atheros Ethernet and WiFi interface, you need proprietary drivers.
It sure does and very nice speakers as well. I use mine for playing MP(2,3)’s, AVI’s, etc.
I also use it in the field with an MSI USB DVTV tuner. Great sound, excellent picture quality.
I can live without bluetooth, but I really miss 1394
The only bad thing about the white 901 is my keys get really grubby. The reason the plug pack turned into a brick is the plug pack is 9.5V @ 2.5A, the “brick” is 12V @ 3A.
With my 901 I get nearly 6 hours, and that is running a Huawei E169 #g modem, an MSI USB DVB TV tuner and an external Logitech laser mouse! (Yes, I video chat in the middle of nowhere!)
I love my 701 and my 901, the best money I’ve ever spent on a computer system. I don’t mid the lack of bluetooth, but I miss 1394.
Great buy!
what is the main difference between 1000 and 1000hd
6 hrs. depend on the use…or even lasts fro 7.5 hrs..because its a 6 cell battery
the black is easier to keeep clean.. mine’s black.
Ugh. I have never seen somebody talk so much about a EEE without actually ever turning it on!
how much does the battery really last?
(for those that actually use it)
i like the white more…
what colour is better, black or white?.. in terms of looks and maintenance? thanks
The right Shift key is awkwardly placed after the up arrow key, making it pretty much useless for touch-typists. Adding insult to injury, there is wasted, blank space between the up arrow button and the question mark key, where the Shift key should have been.
Cheers for this review. I was considering upgrading from my 701, and now I probably will
I really love this Asus Eee PC 1000, it’s just a shame about the price.
Here in the UK it’s selling for around £360, quite a bit more expensive than others.
I might consider buying it from the US since everything seems so much cheaper out there.
Are you talking about the Samsung NC10?
I looked at that but it seems it only has a Windows XP version with a 160GB hard disk which I don’t want/need.
Shame, otherwise I the Samsung would be my first choice.
The Asus is better than the MSI for two main reasons. Firstly, build quality is much better. Secondly, what’s the point of a small, portable device if the battery life is crap? The Asus has the 6 cell battery and can last up to 8 hours. MSI is more like 2.5 hours!
Samsung new netbook FTW.
They are pretty much the same…cept the ASUS has better attention to detail. ASUS all the way on this one! They run quiet and don’t get too hot either. Plus I like the screen better.
the new 1000AH with the 160GB HDD is awesome as hell…
im torn between msi wind and asus, somebody please help me out here
1000H is better. It has bluetooth
