Asus Eeepc 1000h Review

Thinking about getting a netbook but dont know if you really need / want one? I had the Asus EeePc 1000h for a few months. It was a great little netbook. However, since it was only a 1.6ghz atom processor, there were some limitations as to what this little guy could handle. Lets weight the Pros and Cons....

Pros:
  • - Light weight / Portable
  • - Good battery life
  • - Good build quality
Cons:
  • - Cant handle anything which requires a fast processor (ex: HD video on youtube)
  • - 1gb ram standard (you should upgrade to 2gb)
  • - Gets hot since everything is so compact
  • - Comes with Windows XP
  • - Trackpad buttons are noisy and you have to press hard
Conclusion: Well, this is a good little netbook for what its made for..... which is internet browsing, email, social networking etc. You have everything at your fingertips and dont have to lug around a big 15in laptop around... This is not a desktop replacement or mean to edit anything besides text. Here is a list of what this Asus or any netbook would be good for...

  • - Taking notes in class
  • - Blogging / Word processing
  • - Listening to music
  • - Casual internet browsing (no HD video/flash)
  • - Chatting / Email / Social Networking
  • - Anything other activities which can be done in less than 30 minutes
