Reviews

“Asus practically invented the Netbook market, and the Eee PC 1000HE is an overdue overhaul that offers a new CPU and great battery life, but misses some of the competition’s bells and whistles.” (CNET, 2009)

“With the Eee PC 1000HE, ASUS offers one of the best values in netbooks around. This system features a vastly improved keyboard, and its trackpad and touch buttons are better than most systems in its class. Although the processor doesn’t add much in the way of performance, we’ll take it. More important, the 1000HE lasts more than 7 hours on a charge.” (LaptopMag, 2009)

“It’s probably not worth trading in your older model for the new version unless you really, really want that new battery. But if you’re in the market for a new mini-laptop, the 1000HE is an excellent choice. And the price is hard to beat. This model usually retails for between $350 and $400.” (LiliPuting, 2009)
