But for you who still has the Eee PC 1000H who wants to upgrade your system to Windows 7, are in luck as Asus has release a guide on how to do so.

Before upgrading your Eee PC 1000H’s OS to Windows 7, you need to upgrade its BIOS first and also upgrade a set of drivers.  You might also want to partition your hard drive to make it a dual booting machine. Why? Because upgrading from XP to Windows 7 is actually a fresh install. So it’s like starting anew with your netbook – meaning your system data settings will not be imported.

Sounds scary? It is definitely not for the weak of heart. But hey, it’s Windows 7 so don’t expect it to be an easy way in.

Now, I’ve got a better suggestion. Google Chrome OS is rumored to come out in a week’s time, you might want to wait for it and install it instead on your Eee PC 1000H.

John over at Eee-PC.de has modded his Asus Eee PC 1000H. He’s already added more RAM and a touchscreen, along with upgrading the SSD. So what more was left? The keyboard. John has posted of how he’s taken the original keyboard out of the 1000H and replaced it with the keyboard found in the 1000HE Eee PC. He explains that some modifications are needed for the 1000HE keyboard, but it only took 5 minutes to put it together. You can follow his guide with photos of how you can also replace the keyboard on your Asus 1000H.

Eee PC Netbooks get color make over

Just when we all thought that Asus is already done with the 1000 series, here comes another one bearing the model number 1000HV. But don’t get your hopes to high on possibly getting this Eee PC as reports say that it will only be available at the Italian online store Computer Discount.

Anyway if you’re based in Italy, you stand a chance at getting the 1000HV to possibly add to your Eee PC collection.  As for stats you’ll get pretty much the same standard features as other 10-inch Eee PC netbooks, except for its ATI Radeon HD 3450 video card which has its own 256MB memory. 

Other specs of the Eee PC 1000HV include – Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 160GB HD, 3 USB Port, Ethernet, audio in/out, SD(SDHC)/MMC card reader, WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0, and 1.3MP webcam.

The Eee PC 1000HV has a 6-cell battery capable of providing five hours of runtime.

Eee PC 1000HV Spotted in Italy

While we are all talking about the rumored Eee PC 1005, which is supposed to be a variant of the upcoming Eee PC 1008HA, our netbook-loving friends and France are already way ahead of us. Asus has just officially launch the Eee PC 1005 together with the 10008HA in France. Interestingly, two variants of the Eee PC 1005 were launched – the 1005HA-H and 1005HA-M.

And the difference between the two Eee PCs? Well not much really except for the the CPU (Atom N270 for the 1005HA-M and Atom N280 for the 1005HA-H), Bluetooth for the 1005HA-H and 6-cell-2800mAH battery which gives up to 10.5 hours usage time. The 1005HA-M could only muster 8 hours of battery life with its 2200mAh battery.

Other than those, both variants are practically the same in terms of features and specs.  And yes, both 1005HA models both have removable battery pack.

Price of the Eee PC 1005HA-M is at 299 Euro, while the 1005HA-H will retail for 349 Euro.

Eee PC 1005HA-H, 1005HA-M Launched in France

Chris of Netbook Reviews tipped us that he saw a product listing of the upcoming Eee PC 1008HA at Newegg.com.  The product listing showed that the Eee PC 1008HA was supposed to retail for $429 at the online retailer. Also the Newegg was supposed to start shipping the Eee PC 1008HA on May 18. This was despite the fact that no US release date has been announced by Asus yet.

Interestingly, a moment after, Chris also found out the the link has been deactivated. The product page is still up, but a note was added that says, “This product is no longer available.”

Could this be a case of miscommunication on the part of Newegg and Asus? Is Asus planning to announce a new price for the Eee PC 1008HA?  We’re inclined to believe that we will all find out soon.
