I must say I always loved the Eee PC from Asus since I first saw it! I'm currently raising the money to buy one and I found a nice place where you can sell used test equipment for a good price.

i just bought an Asus Eee pc. i was surprised about how lightweight this gadget is. the features are pretty basic for a netbook but it is sufficient for my application.

Asus Eee is very convenient to carry. It is my walkaround laptop wherever i go. The battery life could have been better though

This 1000HE is an amazing response to user input with a new keyboard, longer battery life and updated processor. But why – why the color restriction to black and blue? The greasy fingerprint black and the blue seem like a nonsense restriction for U.S. distribution. A skin can cover the lid but a white or beige or pink case color is very desirable, and makes me wonder when a research group will reveal that many U.S. users selected the “generic netbook” based on the available colors.
Regardless of the color I think the 1000HE will be a major player during 2009, if they can reach the distribution chain by the end of February. It would help if there was a Linux option based on uBuntu. I don’ t think MS will be able to sell a stepped down Win 7 before 2010, and that will be too late. Looks like the other big impact will be more losses for MS.
The option of going Apple OS X seems to be very attractive. With current pricing I am almost inclined to buy both the 1000HE and a copy of OS X, before tax time. I would wonder why not more support from Apple, or maybe they are only a hardware company, after all?
So here I sit waiting for the UPS truck!
