If you were to ask me i'd say no. As in value for money you dont get much out of it. Consider instead the 1002HA.
Difference between the 2 ? Almost neglible. Let me go through them with you for you. Some of these taken of a review site.

Thinness : Both 1002Ha and S101H sports the same slim profile with perhaps the S101H winning by a teeny tiny bit. Yes teeny tiny. Not like how much difference a S101H vs a 1001HA is but teeny tiny.

Keyboard Spacing : S101H has chiclet keyboards, those keyboard with spaces in them like Vaio and Macs. Both netbooks have identical keyboard layouts with that pesky inconvenient shift key that some touch typists hate. The 1002HA has the same keyboard as on the 1000H while the S101H has a keyboard which feels slightly more mushy and the keys are darker and coated with some glittery substance.

Screen Estate :

The 1002HA lid is thicker than S101H but the 1002HA screen has a noticeably better vertical viewing angle with colors not washing out when not viewing at an optimal angle.

Webcam : The 1002HA has the higher 1.3 megapixel webcam. I don’t notice much of a difference between the 0.3MP and 1.3MP webcams anyway but I don’t use it often.

Performance:
They work the same.

In short if youre looking for style and have the cash to pay run to the S101. I wouldnt recommend it though, right now, there is still no 3rd party batteries available for it in case you wanna extend the battery life. You want value ? Go for the 1002HA, yes its keys are closer apart and its teenier tinier thicker than the S101H but thats about it. Everything else runs to it. Almost same weight ie 1182g for the S101 vs 1265g for the 1002HA, better webcam, even better Battery life, better viewing angle ah well..my opinion is better.

Its not as charming as the S101H with its colours, but Champange is the only extra colour the S101H has an advantage over the 1002HA, the other two colours in S101H the 1002HA also has. Heck, if someone brought out from afar a 1002HA i wouldnt know the difference between that and the S101H.

That though is only my opinion, other folks may have better ideas though  wink.gif

guys, I think running win7 on netbook such as 1000he is no good, cause winxp requirement is much less, I'm happy with my 1000he on winxp, relatively fast and batt usage very good...but if anyone got goo exp on win 7 please do tell...

im looking for netbook with long battery life.. i read some review stated that asus eee has the longest battery life.. is it true? how long does the battery last for normal usage eg surf net and listen song only.. can it play majority of the video file without any lagging?
*
its true, my 1000he last at the minimum 5 hours, if off wifi can last 7 hour, 9 hour probally if you do nothing and brightness turn 2 lowest...
1000he battery life is very good.
