Laptop Magazine got to spend a few minutes with a non-functional Asus Eee PC 1002HA netbook yesterday. Non-functional, as in it didn’t have a hard drive and wouldn’t power on. But you can check out a bunch of pictures of the shiny new chassis which looks like a cross between the Asus Eee PC 1000H […]

PC Corner promises dual core CPU upgrades for netbooks
The other day a Microsoft employee giving a presentation at WinHEC accidentally suggested that the Asus Eee PC S101 has a dual core Intel Atom processor. But the truth of the matter is that while Intel has developed a dual core version of the Atom chip, it’s meant for desktops or larger laptops. Not netbooks. […]
Open Box Asus Eee PC 1000H for just $340
You know, when retailers started selling the Asus Eee PC 1000H for $450 just a few weeks after I picked one up for $550, I was OK with that. After all, I was still happy with the computer and figured it was worth the price. But now, just a few short months later, you can […]
Windows 7 on a netbook: Eee PC 1000H
As expected, Windows 7 seems to run fairly well on a netbook. Sure, we’ve already seen the boot screen on an MSI Wind. But Laptop Magazine’s Joanna Stern took a pre-beta build of the next generation Windows operating system and slapped it on an Eee PC 1000H and spent a whole day playing with it. […]
Asus launches Eee PC 1000H Go with integrated 3G
Another piece of the Asus Eee PC naming convention puzzle is falling into place this week. The company is teaming up with Italian wireless carrier TIM to offer the Eee PC 1000H Go, which is basically an Eee PC with a built in HSUPA modem. If that whole “Go” thing sounds familiar, that’s probably because […]
10 hour battery: 3rd party 12000mAh Eee PC 901/1000 battery
You know how sometimes people talk about all day computing and then try to stick you with a battery that gives up after 5 hours? I don’t know about you, but I consider a workday to be at least 8 hours (and usually longer). Now it looks like there’s finally a battery for the Eee […]
MSI Wind vs. Asus Eee PC 1000H: The nitpicker’s guide
As the netbook market has matured, a number of companies have put out cheap ultraportable computers with remarkably similar specifications. And that’s left a lot of folks scratching their heads trying to figure out which netbook is the best bargain. The answer? There is no one-size fits all answer. Odds are if you’re in the […]
Mandriva 2009 Linux on the Eee PC 1000H
Mandriva 2009 was released a few days ago, and I just finished installing it on my Asus Eee PC 1000H. The latest version of this open source operating system comes with KDE 4.1, and up to date software including OpenOffice 3.0 (although for some reason it includes GIMP 2.4.7, even though GIMP 2.6.1 was released […]
Asus Eee PC 1000HA: Just like the 1000H, only less so
Asus is apparently poised to launch yet another laptop in its never-ending line of Eee PC models. The Asus Eee PC 1000HA, now available for preorder at Amazon in black and white versions, looks a lot like the Asus Eee PC 1000H on paper. It’s got a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, and […]
How to install Ubuntu Eee on the Eee PC 1000H
My Asus Eee PC 1000H shipped with Windows XP, and it runs pretty well. But what’s the point in having an 80GB hard drive if you don’t partition it and try installing an alternate operating system every now and again? There are several Linux distributions that reportedly run well on netbooks like the 1000H with […]
