If you use your notebook for work, don't think any EeePC with a Celeron M or even Atom will be able to replace it. You're better off looking at the new Compaq B1286TU. It'll be a lot closer to the power you'd expect from an actual desktop, but small and light enough to carry around without getting a workout. Here's a quick comparison between the B1286TU and 1000H:

RM2500 vs ~RM2000
1.9KG vs 1.45KG
2GHz C2D vs 1.6GHz Atom

That's the whole problem. With the current Eee line, Asus is swinging the other direction of low cost.

Guyz, Need some help

I'm planniing to get Asus Eee PC 1000H to replace my 3 years old notebook.
I'm not much into gaming....ie pc games....
For me, I'm more into
1. Microsoft Office ie word, excel.
2. Youtube...And other video streaming site.
3. P2P...Ie torrents, limewire and etc.
4. Video conversion.D
5. Burning DVD's....ie via external drive.
I'm planning to get this as it easier to bring it to off./ out station...

So, do u guyz think its ok for me to get the eee pc 1000h?

TQ

video conversion in atom processor is slow i think

Video Conversion on any notebook processor would be slow 
unless its those high end processors

Actually you can try the Kohjinsha... new brand in town... Tablet n can b folded... looks really cool I had one of them already... not bad.
If you compare wit the Eee PC.. this is much worth it...bigger storage...  

Yeah, the Kojinsha has all of those features... but I'm thinking of something around 9" screen and has a beefy CPU too... OK, plus I have an irrational preference for Asus stuff.

for P2P stuff, it's more down to storage space, imo...think the eeePC can still handle the d/l part. but u gotta make sure u got the space first.

for Kohjinsha, i've seen their laptops, incl the one with the built-in optical drive. nice. tho i personally don't need the touchscreen & i don't fancy the whole swivel thing that comes with a touchscreen/tablet type laptop. but just note that it don't come cheap. the SR model costs SG$1.5k+ in S'pore (Sim Lim Square).

Crazymalaysian,

I dun know but comes Monday I will know because I am ordering a EeePC 1000H for my brother's son. The 1000H is 80GB and comes with Linux and you know what I will do after that  .

On another matter I did have a quick hands on the HP Mini Note which runs the VIA C7 processor on Vista I was a bit suprise that the respond was pretty OK maybe they turn Aero off. But I sure like the keyboard on the HP Mini Note.

Will keep all updated here if the 901 and 1000H is available the source I get is from another master distributor so it may not be available at the retail store yet.

MacOS is just another of Linux. I actually prefer Vista after installing in on my PC dual boot with Leopard. It looks nice but not as sleek as Vista IMO.

Hi,

EeePC 901 vs MSI Wind U100

After setting up and using the MSI Wind for about 2 hours this is my opinion.

1. The speed of the MSI Wind and the EeePC 901 booting Windows XP is about the same speed
    MSI Wind runs on an 2.5" SATA 80GB Hard Disk and the EeePC 901 runs off a 4GB SSD.

2. The MSI Wind with the 3 Cell battery is about the same weight as the EeePC 901 with a 6 cell battery.

3. The MSI Wind has a very useable keyboard unlike the 901 which is a bit difficult to type being so small but still OK.

4. The MSI Wind looks and feel flimsy and not as solid where as the 901 look and felt solid to hold.

5. Reading on the 901 smaller 8.9" screen and the 10" screen on the MSI Wind is not a big difference.

6. Windows battery meter - MSI Wind U100 - 2.15 hours - EeePC 901 - 5 hours.

7. The EeePC 901 has a slight better Audio output than the MSI Wind.

8. The EeePC 901 large touch pad with the multi touch gesture is a JOY to works with. The MSI Wind only have
    region touch pad function. On the 901 3 fingers swipe to the left is back to previous page, 3 finger swipe to the
    right forward to next page and lots of other function.

All the above are my own personal opinion base on the 2 hours I spend on the MSI Wind and my own EeePC 901. Given a chance to make a decision to buy again I am pretty sure I would go with the EeePC 901 because of it size and the SSD Hard Drive. I fail to see why I need such a big storage unless I plan to store lots of video, if so then 80GB would still be consider a small storage for video files. I can always get a small portable 320GB external USB drive for my movies. If you are talking about games then the Atom CPU is not cut out for that.

So a 5 hours battery is the main criteria and a solid built notebook just feels good to hold on to plus the multi touch function makes the EeePC 901 a great choice. With that said once I get my hands on the EeePC 1000H I may bends towards the 1000H

Stocks should be available as you read this

beebee,

Yup you can definately install from the USB drive after you use nlite to make it smaller. There is even a tutorial for it. I am now actually reinstalling my EEEPC 901 again... AGAIN yup this is the 3rd time. This time I follow the 411MB XP link that I posted before. There is one settings you must not disable is the CPU Pentium 4 Hyper Threading support. And I can tell you that it boots up REAL FAST..... the 17 sec is true.

WOW ...... I am impress. With all the drivers installed I only used up 680MB with no swap file. 

Again it boots up so fast ..... FASTTTTTTTT

Leifen,

Remember the days when the 900 was launch, you can hardly find one let alone the 701. I believe it should be a while before you can see the 901 and the 1000H or until they clear their 900 down to 10% stock status.

hehe... this is life.

Battery life is very important, a few days ago I got a MSI Wind U100 for my brothers son. Well he brought the MSI to my house and we configuring his notebook. He has to plug his MSI Wind U100 to keep it going because it was low in battery.... HEHE... I am still going strong with 50% battery...

What good is a Computer without POWER....

So you better think twice before you get the 900 or Acer Aspire One or even the HP.

just my 2 sen worth.

Rahuldave,

Now this is my own opinion only. As indicated you need a big HDD 80GB for P2P download, Word processing and Excel spreat sheet, Video Streaming and Video Conversion plus some lite games. So I would assume this would be your PRIMARY COMPUTER. Primary Computer meant that you will be using this all the time. With that in mind if I were to purchase the following would be my criteria.

1. All 3 of them are using the Atom CPU and upgradeable to 2GB so this is not an issue.

2. P2P requirement meant you need Disk Space to store all those "DOWNLOADS" so a 80GB is a MUST.
    So you can safely rule out the Acer Aspire One because it only comes with 8GB Flash Disk. So the Asus 901 is
    also rule out because of disk space.

3. Now we only have the MSI Wind U100 and the Asus EeePC 1000H and base on the indicated prices
    MSI = RM 1,730/= where as the Asus 1000H = RM 1,999/=. The only difference I can see is that the
    Asus comes with a 6 Cell 6600mAH bettery rated at 5 hours where as the MSI is only 2 -3 hours. Also the
    Wifi on the MSI is only a & g where as the Asus is a g & n. Larger keyboard for both the MSI and Asus
    would definately rule out the Acer Aspire completely. Also a larger keyboard is important because you
    would be using this as your PRIMARY COMPUTER.

So we are down to only 2 which is the.

1. MSI Wind U100 - Cheaper by RM269/= but smaller battery, no Wifi Wireless Draft N
    But that you can purchase a high capacity battery when 3rd party cheaper battery are available.
    STOCK IS AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY.

2. Asus EeePC 1000H - More expensive, large battery, Wireless Draft N.
    NO STOCK + NO INDICATION WHEN AVAILABLE.
    (This is base on the 901 which felt SOLID TO HOLD, where as the MSI Wind U100 abit flimsy).

Well that is how I would make my decision on which model to purchased but your would need to make your own decision.

Rahuldave,

The Eee PC 901 is slightly over 1KG so the 1000H should be heavier. Unless they come out with one made of Super light alloy like the Sony VAIO series. The way I see it is is that the additional weight is about the weight of an additional book. So pack a little lighter  .

All these are just speculation and from what we read, I had not done any hands on the 1000H.

jackdon

Rahuldave,

You remove the existing 1GB and then you put in the 2GB maybe it will increase the weight by about 10 - 20 grams 

Then you can auction that 1GB here in the trade zone.

I just got my 1000H from lowyat. According to the staff, their stock arrived yesterday and had 10 units, now left only 1. So those who want it, go grab it fast.

Can't test it yet as I am going outstation. Probably will format it and throw in TinyXP plus eeeUbuntu when I am back.

Bro...after so many opinions...it's time for u to make your decision.
It's your call now as this's down to your own personal choice.

You can't make decision just by reading & depending to forums....u have fell it, see it & test it.

Time to get out & get one to end your misery....just like me..I'm using MSI Wind now.

The 1000H is heavy lah at 1.45KG for a 10 inch screen. Better get the MSI Wind, 1KG for 10 inch also.

Trust me extra 400 plus grams is a lot

[attachmentid=536794]
I am enjoying my 1000H eventhough many ppl complain about it size but i still love it and it fits me well.  [CODE] My 1000H with my PS3 controller

yeah...what to do..wan mobility then must sacrifice something..also cheap price cant expect much!
