Since Asus expanded the Eee PC line to dozens of unit models, I didn’t see much worth on the new upgrades. The updates are either too trivial or too expensive. However, the $399 Asus Eee PC 1000HE is looking to be a worthy replacement to my MSI Wind U100.
The Eee PC 1000HE uses a newer Intel Atom CPU — the N280 which runs at 1.66GHz (667MHz FSB compared the to 533MHz of the N270) as well as an HD-capable Intel GN40 chipset for smoother video playback.
The more enticing feature is the 8700mAh battery that comes with it. Asus claims up to 9.5 hours but even if you get 7 or 8 hours in real life, that’s still way better. And it’s not one of those heavy extended version so the whole netbook still weighs on the lighter side of 3.2 lbs.
Asus also improved the keyboard to 92% standard as well as using the chiclet-type keys found on the Macbook and the Sony Vaio P. There’s a 160 HDD, WiFi 802.11n and Bluetooth included — all for a pre-order price of just $399 {via}.
