you can get up to 9hrs of battery life.

[serbanalex1]

Hi, I'm wondering whether this netbook can play .mpg or .avi video smoothly like mostly any regular notebook can do. Thank you very much.

[mr2uboy]

yes it can handle video smoothly, i have 2gig installed and have no problem running video files on it.

[cmonutube]

@mr2uboy is the youtube play back choppy or smooth?

[maxdemian1978]

Thank you

Hi, I'm wondering whether this netbook can play HD video streaming from youtube smoothly like mostly any regular notebook can do. I really wanna buy this but still not sure for the web HD video streaming quality.

[vibyjocke]

No, it can't.

[seanwagner]

the processor (latest Intel Atom N280) is pretty fast but the bottleneck in this netbook is the integrated graphics GMA950 that has no T&L (Transform & Lighting) so this job has to be done by the CPU.

they should have chosen the newer chipset i965GM (instead of the oldish i945GM) that has the integrated graphics X3100 with T&L.

i've never seen a running 1000HE but i suspect that CoD2 and TF2 will lag pretty much.

[gangelectron]

hi friends can anyone tell me one thing

can we do programming in asus 1000he

can we run any ide

[virtute71]

YM isn't that great, try Skype for webcam chat. Much smoother and better quality.

[mr2uboy]

Thanks for the advice. YM was choppy but I attribute that to the slow connectivity my wife had in the Philippines. I have never try Skype for webcam chat but will give it a go.

cool i have the same pc XD

Great review here...was it easy to install the memory card? I was wondering, can you run certain peripheral programs that are memory intensive...such as on a regular home PC...one in particular I'm referring to is call Pro Tools...Thanks

Also how does it work with an external monitor OK?  Thanks...Walt

[TheNotDone]

sorry to say, but editing and recording software is probably out of the question.

Those programs are typically very resource intensive, and the atom processor is not enough to keep up.

cubase le struggles pretty hard as it is, so I'm forced to use audacity for on the go recording and quick editing.

[NickDrake101]

Thanks for that.... I pretty much guess that would be the case...Thanks for the tip about Audacity...had not thought about that. Actually, better yet, like your doing, render the file and then later tweak in Pro Tools on the PC...that could work! :)

[mr2uboy]

Memory installation is is a breeze. As notdone indicated, memory/cpu intensive application are out of the question (ie., gaming, video editing). However you can watch video files without hiccups. Its main use are for browsing, emailing and word processing. I have not hook up to an external monitor so I can't comment on that aspect.

[NickDrake101]

Thanks for for the info on that...you're right I found out the limitations...no big deal though.

 I actually have hooked up an external monitor (Princeton '19), and it works really great...no problems at all. You can also bump the resolution up much higher, and in the process turn of the ASUS display greatly extending battery life and saving power.

Very nice review, we hope your wife has a safe and fruitful trip.

Seeing her face and hearing her voice by way of webcam just might help with missing her so much as I know I would miss my sweetie if she went over sea's.

[mr2uboy]

Thanks for the kind words.

[Jecht81]

Howdy doo.

It's a nice piece of equipment. Got one for myself few days ago. Mind you. The battery life in "power save" mode is about 7,5 hours, while light to medium heavy use(Surfing and watchin' some videos.) . WLAN and BT was on. So those limit the battery life surprisingly much. But still, heckuva' lot longer than any other nettops out there. Only challenger so far is MSI wind U115, which seems to go beyond 10 hours... Or so they say.

nice
