Asus? response to the heap of competitors entering the netbook market is its new state-of-the-art computer, the Eee PC 1000H-BK007X. The Eee PC 1000H BK007X comes with a design similar to that of its predecessor and a mountain of new, phenomenal features, including an amply-sized 10-inch screen, 1024 MB of RAM and a larger 80 GB hard drive! When it comes to connectivity, the eeePC 1000 H BK0007 X is well equipped with three USB ports, a VGA input and a 3-in-1 memory card reader.

 Best eee pc and probably netbook around! September 3, 2008

After looking around almost every computer shop and website in the Midlands, I finally decided on the 1000H and ruled out the acer aspire one, the advent 4211 and this new dell supposedly being released soon. The features and build quality are fantastic with a good 1.3mp webcam, large 80gb hard drive (compared to other netbooks), great keyboard that is big enough for me to be able to almost touch type and a great clear and bright 10 inch screen. The battery life compared to my inspiron is very impressive, after a full charge with the bluetooth turned off and wifi on all the time I got 4.5 hours without any need to take the small charger with me. In glossy black the netbook looks stylish and in my view better than the acer aspire (also glossy). I was going to purchase the eee pc 901 but i am so glad i paid the extra 40 for the latest 1000h version as the size or weight difference isnt that noticeable, but the hardrive and bigger keyboard is! Tips with this netbook I would suggest are uninstall works and load office 2007 (works seemlessly) and I know that vista (with a few driver updates) can work fine but to be honest the xp takes up less memory and is exactly what you need. If there are only two negatives about this netbook, they are that the sound without headphones isnt that great (but then just listen on headphones!) and the mousepad/ clicks get a while to get used to as they are stiff at first, but then i have experienced this while testing other netbooks as well. I am happy that I have this eee pc and would recommend it without doubt

I am a design student and wanted a laptop to surf the net, check emails, use office applications and edit photos. The Eee 1000H does all this perfectly.
Good points:
- Exactly 5 Hrs battery life with wifi on
- Super Hybrid Engine. This is a fancy name for the program that lets you instantly change the processor speed and screen illumination. It works well and allows you to either save battery, overclock the processor for high performance, or a compromise between the two.
- Snappy processor for its specs, just remember not to clutter it up with stacks of programs at startup!
- 1GB RAM. It might not sound much by today's standards but this isn't a powerhouse so I really think the amount of memory is ample for the processor and OS.
- Decent HDD. 80GB on a netbook is great
- Keyboard is compact but very usable
- Superb screen. It's bright, clear and looks good at all angles. It's also a usable size, although you'll be scrolling down webpages a bit more than usual
- 3 USB ports. 1 on the left, 2 on the right.
- SD card reader. I use SD cards a lot so this is brilliant and lets you add a bit of extra storage if you like
- Good 1.3 MP webcam and stereo mics
- Quick launch buttons (might not be their official title). One turns the screen off, one alters the screen aspect ratio and the third and fourth are user definable. These are set to alter the super hybrid engine and launch skype by default, but are easy to change.
- XP!!! Sorry but I don't like Vista. I'm more familiar with XP, it does everything I need it to and takes up less memory. I also need to use google sketchup so linux isn't an option.
- Looks very stylish. Although the case is shiny and attracts fingerprints like a CSI script its screen is matt and puts up with a fair bit of pawing
- Comes with a slip case and polishing cloth. It's a nice touch that just lets you look after your Eee if you haven't already bought a case for it
Bad Points:
- The main one is the funny clicky mouse buttons. They are made of stainless steel so they won't wear away like my old laptop did, however, they are a bit stiff. I've had the Eee for a couple of weeks now and the left button has softened a bit, plus I've got used to it!
- No optical drive. It's hard to really hold this against it but it's worth pointing out. I bought an LG external dvd drive and it works fine. It's just extra baggage though
- It's surprisingly noisy. I think being small I expected it to be quieter but it sounds like a normal laptop. Again not a major point, it just caught me out at first.
- No firewire port. I'm not bothered, I don't use it!
- The office applications. It comes with MS Works and Star Office. Ok fair enough, they included something but Works is really the barrel scrapings. Star Office is good but it's almost identical to Open office. Why not leave them out and shave a few quid off the price? I've installed Office 2007 because I need 100% compatibility with other MS Office users. It runs fine
So in conlusion this is an excellent netbook/notebook with fabulous battery life. I haven't experienced any issues with poor wireless connectivity which some other people have mentioned. It picks up my neighbour's router through 2 walls and across 30 yards of garden!
Just bear in mind that it's only a tiddler so it won't play the latest games or display a vast spreadsheet onscreen. Minesweeper anyone?
Fits snugly in my handbag September 9, 2008

I brought this to fit in my handbag as I am a writer. The keypad is fine, and have no problem touch typing. I take it everywhere with me and have almost stopped using my desktop even when at home as this starts up so fast. I downloaded Office and took of the star programme - hasn't made anydifference to speed or memory. I'm not hugely IT literate, but this machine is brilliant easy to use and I love it. Just about to purchase an external cd rom to make life even simpler rather than keep using memory stick.

Just spent two days with the Asus Eee 1000H, and my first impressions are of a high quality product. The install of XP is good with not many useless programs slowing it down, 80gb hard drive is plenty for me as I have a 250gb backup drive. The screen whilst small fits web pages width wise fine and is very bright. The only downside is the keyboard which is just a bit small for very quick typing, but if I was writing a novel I would use a full size PC.
The battery lasts for longer than I ever would want to sit web browsing (about 5 hours) and the charger is very compact.
I would not use as a main work PC but as a home or second laptop for email, web and music/video 5 stars.
Excellent netbook. Worths every single penny! October 22, 2008

I purchased this lovely netbook a week ago. I was hesitating between this model and others such as the Samsung NC10. Now I am very happy I opted for the ASUS as Samsung is not a netbook maker whereas ASUS is. This netbook is built in quality. I was expecting this machine to be built with cheap, plastic or material but not at all. It feels rock solid, a lot better than my hp which cost me 1000. The netbook works pretty quick, no problem with it at all.
Some quick thoughts about:
- Webcam is good,
-is excellent and pretty fast transfer data with the wifi -n,
- multi touch pad is brillliant (although you need to download and install the new driver)
- screen is bright,
- keyboard is manageable enough, I am now writing on it with no major problems.
- takes linux (eee ubuntu 8.4.1 out of the box)
- lovely glossy finish (you need to keep it clean though)
- battery life over 5.30 (this is real time)
- able to overlock up to 1.7ghz or down to 1.3ghz very easy
- key buttons - I love these handy buttons to launch applications.
- speakers are decent enough (dont expect miracle)
- sound is good too.
I possibly miss some good points on this review but well....I think there are enough.
Cons: none really for me!No problem with the keyboard lay out. And generally happy with my Eee PC.
If you are going to buy a netbook do not think twice about getting an ASUS. They have not been making and selling netbooks for a year for no reasons. They are the leaders and will be there for a long time.
Hope you find my review handy and useful. If you need anything please let me know and I will be more than happy to help you.
David
