 I'm very impressed Sep 26, 2008
By I. Banks
So I got this bad boy in via UPS this morning and so far I am very pleased. I selected super saver shipping and got this in two days of it becoming instock after preorder phase so that was pretty cool. Anyway back to the item in hand. It definetly lives up to the hype and i'll tell you why...
It is very sexy looking for a net book and when I showed a couple neighbors they where impressed with it's look as well.
It is easy to type on for the most part. There is a slight adjustment to the placement of certain keys but I don't believe it should take more than a week to get into that comfort zone. I've used smaller netbooks and this one is a vast improvement in terms of size.
Bluetooth is awesome! I conected to my bluetooth enabled Samsung Yp2 mp3 players and performed a wireless transfer of a few movies and some music. I'm sure when it is time for me to connect to my cell phone for internet access it will work just as easily. BTW wireless N is the shiznit.
Oh yeah this thing has XP which I hate to say is just outright better than vista. I've tried to like my vista Acer laptop but it just sucks. Its dual core and all but it feels much slower than this ASUS.
Oh yeah it is whisper quite and does not get hot at all. Hardly even qualifies as warm after running Rhapsody, and having several tabs on Opera open at once.
But I will admit that while the screen is super bright and unreflective the picture was not as sharp as I invisioned. I mean it is still pretty crisp, but not quiet what I expected (although my expectations were through the roof after reading reviews of the 80gb model.)
Hope this little review of mine helps any buyers out there narrow down there choices. Holla.

ASUS Eee PC 1000H 160GB Sep 28, 2008
By Ricardo
The 1000H arrived on 9/24/08. It worked just fine out of the box after going through the setup. The display is very bright, I had to set the brightness 2/3 of the way down.
I did manage to "scrooch" XP trying to install Trend Micro 2007 and I had to do a restore using the ASUS restore DVD with a Lite-On DX-8A1H external USB CD/DVD drive. This took 15 minutes.
ASUS includes a 90-day trial version of Eset Nod32 anti-virus. I am using this and the Windows Firewall. There is minimal junk-ware pre-installed and what there is can be easily removed if you don't activate it first.
The keyboard is very useable and there is almost no flex in it. I didn't buy the Eee PC to write an encyclopedia, I bought it for when we travel to read email, etc. The touchpad operation/sensitivity can be improved by going into the hardware setup and setting the touchpad sampling rate to 20, the minimum value.
The wireless b/g/n connection works well with my Linksys WRT54G2 router and I can see and logon to several neighbors' networks as well.
I haven't tested the battery run-time but the battery meter with a wireless connection and the Bluetooth turned off indicates at least 5 hours after a full charge.
The included neoprene sleeve is excellent, I intend to carry the Eee PC in the sleeve inside an 11" boarding bag when we travel.

Giant Killer Oct 21, 2008
By The tester
"gt"
This ASUS 1000H-A is amazing, fast & quiet. I bought it mostly for travel, but I've been using it for photo editing and other intense computing applications. This little thing performs just as fast as my 17" HP laptop. This is indeed a giant killer. The sound is awesome: I set it to headphone in the speakers setup and the speakers plays much louder than the default 2 speaker stereo setup. The LCD is brighter & crisper than both my Averatec and HP laptops. This is the ideal, perfect netbook: does everthing well! I installed the Delome Street Atlas USA With GPS software and it works better than any of those high priced GPS ONLY little screen gizmos that cost more than this Asus. Fast and accurate and small enough for the dash or console. Tip: The Delome Street Atlas USA is much better than microsoft street atlas (I have both). I also use it as a Photo Screen for my Canon DSLR camera. Works perfect with the Canon remote setup: 10" review instead of the tiny Camera LCD display. This Asus 1000H-A is the BOMB!
On the con side: jus' one - I hate where they put the right shift key, need some getting use to. Other than that, the key board, battery life, LCD, speakers are awesome. And the build quality and style: ELEGANT!
Well, you can tell, I highly recommend this netbook, top of its class.
If you can find the 1000H buy that instead of the 1000HA which lacks the bluetooth and wireless N but cost about $40-$50 dollars less, but If you don't need bluetooth or wireless N then get the 1000HA. Remember Asus invented the netbook, the others are copies! Nuff said!

 Great product Oct 09, 2008
By M. Murphy
This laptop has turned out to be a real joy. I am a student, who needed a small laptop as a replacement for my 17 inch laptop which is just far too big for class. I'm so impressed! This laptop is beautiful and runs really great. I purchased 2 gigs of ram and installed it before I even turned it on, so I'm not sure how it runs on 1gb. Screen is nice, the keyboard is fairly easy to type on. (even with my large hands at 6'3") The only complaint is the mouse is a little bit harder to get used to. I often touch it accidentally and it will move the cursor to another location, but nothing I can't get used to, and it's something you have to deal with when you have a laptop this small. Great product, well worth the 500 bucks! It has everything, even bluetooth. Just no CD drive. I give this product an A- a must buy for the price. You won't be disappointed.
