From the forerunner of the mini-netbook realm, Asus, comes another offering: the Asus EEE PC 1000HE. The 1000HE has enjoyed the distinction as being one of our Top 5 Netbooks for 2009. This is in account of performance, durability, flexibility and of course, its impressive price tag.
For starters, the Asus EEE PC 1000HE carries on the tradition followed by Asus. It is powered by an Intel Atom N280 processor. This processor runs at a speed of 1.66 Gigahertz. This high speed is supported by a memory of 1 gigabyte. For storage purposes, the Asus EEE PC 1000HE is equipped with a hard drive capable of storing up to 160 gigabytes worth of files.
Asus has made a claim of the notebook being able to run for up to 9 hours and 30 minutes off the hook. This would make it superior to most of the models in its market as well as some larger notebooks from other manufacturers. The netbook is powered by a 6-cell lithium-poly mater battery.
Another one of the 1000HE's striking features is its keyboard. 92% of the size of a standard keyboard, users will find that there is enough room for their fingers to maneuver themselves. This would make tasks easier and done faster, saving the user more time for other things. To augment their working capabilities, the 1000HE has a 10.5-inch LCD screen with LED back lights for clearer and brighter displays.
Truly, the 1000HE is proof of Asus commitment to provide a steady evolution of its EEE PC models. Being the one who started the trend, Asus has seemingly done a good job.
The 1000HE is apparently a product of detailed planning and development in Asus' part. Engineers and designers have given it an impressive structure that allows for ergonomic use. This is a welcome improvement from the older EEE PC models - which were impressive in their own rights. Another improvement is the attention to airflow: the 1000HE is specifically designed to make cooling more efficient. This certainly accounts for the impressive performance of the 1000HE.
Being a mini-notebook, the Asus EEE PC comes with a display resolution of 1024x600. For those that are used to 1024x768, you can subscribe to a special compression mode to reach that resolution.
Connectivity features for the 1000HE include an Ethernet port, a WiFi connection of 802.11b/g/n standard, Bluetooth and a set of 3 USB ports. The 1000He also comes with a card reader, a VGA output port, and a 1.3 megapixel web cam.
Specifications:
CPU: 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280
RAM: 1 GB upgradeable to 2 GB
Screen Size: 10.5 inches
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition
Battery Life: Up to 9.5 hours (manufacturer's claimas)
Graphics: Integrated GMA 950
Pros:
The Asus EEE PC is impressive with its high processing power, its durability, long battery life, excellent speakers and its competitive price.
Cons:
The things that can annoy users of the 1000HE is the noisy ventilation inside it, as well as the absence of an ExpressCard for connection to external hard drives.
Conclusion:
Our conclusion: the 1000HE is excellent for its price range. With a good processor, long battery life, ergonomic design and features, you will not go wrong with investing on the 1000HE.
