Amazon.com Product Description
The Asus Eee PC 1000 provides the power of a full-sized laptop in a compact body with an extra-large 10.2-inch screen, and is now powered by the latest Intel mobile processor. Designed specifically for mobile devices, the 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--to conserve energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet. Coupled with the ASUS exclusive Super Hybrid Engine, you'll also enjoy up to 8 hours of battery life with this Linux-powered laptop. 
The Asus Eee PC 1000's 10.2-inch screen is easier on the eyes. | Much more compact than a standard-sized notebook and weighing less than 3 pounds, the Eee PC 1000 is perfect for students toting to school or road warriors packing away to Wi-Fi hotspots. And because it uses flash memory instead of a hard drive (with 40 GB of storage), the Eee PC 1000 consumes less power, allows the device to boot quickly, produces less heat, and is less susceptible to shock damage. The Eee PC 1000 also features 1 GB of RAM, 1.3-megapixel webcam integrated into the bezel above the LCD, tri-mode Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g/n), integrated Bluetooth connectivity, Secure Digital memory card slot, multiple USB ports, a VGA output for connecting to a monitor. 
The integrated webcam makes video chats a snap, and the keyboard is 95 percent the size of standard notebooks for easy typing. |  | It comes preinstalled with the Linux operating system, which is useful for users who desire task-based icons and an easy point-and-click interface. Well suited for children or users without any computer experience, it provides a fast boot-up time--ideal for fast Internet access while waiting for public transport, or taking notes on-the-go. The new Eee PC 1000 has a customized, cutting-edge Infusion casing technology in Fine Ebony. Inlaid within the chassis itself, the motifs are an integral part of the entire cover and will not fade with time. The Infusion surface also provides a new level of resilience, providing scratch resistance and a beautiful style while out and about. It's also equipped with the ASUS Super Hybrid Engine for automatic detection and adjustments of CPU frequency, voltage, and LCD brightness to minimize system noise and power consumption to save up to 15 percent power consumption, or to maximize system performance according to individual needs. For the students and professionals, the Eee PC comes with a powerful selection of software to maximize personal productivity--over 40 built-in applications. The StarOffice 8 suite of software enables the user to open, edit and create documents, presentations, spreadsheets and databases that are compatible with Microsoft Office. For journalists, photographers and other professionals who need to use a computer in the field to create, to communicate and to collaborate with other colleagues, the Eee PC's combination of power, extreme portability and rugged build makes it the ideal computing solution. The keyboard is 95 percent the size of standard notebooks, making it more comfortable to type for larger hands. 
No technical manual required with the specially designed, user-friendly Linux operating system interface. |  | It's also a great choice for young students, with a built-in Dictionary that's great for homework, and it includes two modes of intuitive graphic user interface design to accommodate both experienced and inexperienced PC users. The Eee PC also handles your digital images, movies, and music as well as Internet radio. Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with the integrated Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 4965 AGN LAN chip. Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and Wi-Fi hotspots). With the Bluetooth connectivity, you can communicate and synchronize with Bluetooth-enabled peripherals such as PDAs and cell phones Nicely light at just 38 ounces, the Eee PC 1000 has an 8.9-inch wide TFT LCD with a 1024 x 600-pixel resolution (WXGA)--making it more comfortable on eyes than its predecessor. In addition to its wireless LAN, it also offers wired Fast Ethernet connectivity and a 56K modem. You get three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA output for connecting to external monitors, headphone and microphone jacks, and a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot (compatible with MMC memory cards). It's equipped with a 1.3-megapixel webcam (placed in the bezel above the LCD) and integrated microphone, allowing you to snap still photos of yourself while on the go for sending via email or join video chats with friends and family. The Eee PC includes software for Web browsing (Firefox), e-mail, StarOffice 8 for creating and editing word processing documents and spreadsheets, and a suite of other productivity software to help keep you on track. Battery-Sipping Processor
The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management.

 great little machine January 6, 2009
bought this netbook about a month ago and have been constantly using it since. changed the xandros linux OS to ubuntu. this has made the machine MUCH easier to use. nothing at all to complain about now. it's great!
Great hardware-not so great software December 26, 2008

The asus eee 1000h is small, ultraportable, the screen is wonderful, the keyboard is easy.... I'm writing this review on it, I love it. BUT the linux version that is pre-installed is an unknown version. You can't touch it, you can't configure it, you can't fix it. The file manager crashes every 3 seconds and it disconnects from the internet every now and then for no reason. I think that the best thing to do is to buy the asus, but try to install XP or any other OS that you can control.
Small Wonder Big Value December 24, 2008

I've waited years to see this and now finally it is here, an ultra compact touch-type able wifi surfer and no M$ too! I'm new to Linux so I'm still on the default Xandros, but activating IceWm enabled me to find a better theme for the application windows -- OK for now. With a screen this small I only see the kioskish desktop when I want something. Aestheticlly, this ebony black beauty is perfection.
The keyboard is close enough to full size that I can touch type just fine, maybe even better (short fingers). Not being a big point/click type the touchpad is very convenient, only caveat being the over sensitive pad nuisance. Just disable tapping and use the buttons instead and that problem is gone. The shift key location is a tradeoff I'm happy to make since I use the arrow keys a lot and prefer this setup.
I'm packing it in a nice slim case logic bag designed for the netbook and it fits like a glove. At the cafe it's perfect on the small tabletop. Just slide it out and fire it up. No lugging, no outlet. Nothing. The mobile device too small; laptop is too big. This is the future and it has arrived.
If you have to have XP or just don't adapt then get that instead. I'd rather have the solid drive and open source possibilities. For an on-the-go computer this holds hundreds of albums, and it is perfect for surfing and writing. Some minor quibbles aren't quite enough IMHO to cost it a single star, and I just don't see how they could have designed it better. Just the right size and weight too.
A couple years ago I thought I had finally found the ideal when looking at a subnotebook but no way I could shell out 2-3 grand. This is the deal. I'll be happy with this for years and will look forward to even more powerful small machines to come.
A web book that finally got things perfect! December 22, 2008

Where do I even start? This mini laptop has everything the ordinary person could ever want in a machine. Connection to wireless internet is flawless and the linux system it comes with is a breeze for anybody to use. The keyboard is perfect for most uses and the screen is perfectly sized. When you carry this laptop it's hard to even tell you have anything at all due to the weight being so light. I highly recommend this to anybody who is looking for a perfectly user friendly system without strings attached. Also this system got me introduced to the Linux program, which after using I'll never buy a Windows operated system again. Asus, you work magic!
 it is what it is December 20, 2008

Not a bad little portable to tote along. As long as you understand that is what you are buying, you will probably be reasonably happy. In retrospect I would have preferred something with less Linuxiness. My desktop and portables are about what I do with them external to the device itself. But for Linux, the medium and message are too often the same thing. Any sort of Linux problem will lead you into a fairyland in which the solutions, many possible and varied, are apt to lead you farther and farther from home.
The keyboard isn't impossible, but it's got a little stinker. If you touch type that shift key on the right side is going to take some serious re-learning. And every time you miss it, you get to clean up your mistakes before you continue with what you are doing. The size works well even with my clubby hands.
I'd buy it again for half the price. Maybe.
