yes is scratch proof... the power supply really depend where you buy it .... each country have their own different transformer or there is none for some country.
the volume is pretty weak even with headphones. I have only tried it with my ipod headphones though so i would think others would be better. Nothing we could really do about the fingerprints. I use the cloth that came with it to wipe them off so it stays fairly clean and i like the glossy finish.
Actually the volume is weak because of the driver.... you need to update weekly because is quite new ... i just updated and the sound is quite loud but i dont want to spoil my speakers so i bought a mega bass mini circle speaker just put via usb
dude what can we do about the damn glossy finish? its a fingerprint magnet? other than apply a decal - any other solutuons? does your get crazy amount of smudges?
how about the volume level..is it good and loud thru headphones and also can you hear it good thru the speakers on the bottom of the unitw,,ive read a couple people complaining that it has weak volume..thanks
sorry i am not going to install vista on it because i like the way it is right now. i have been typing quite a bit at school today and the keyboard is very good for touch typers like myself. i dont use the right shift key so i dont notice any difference there but i can type just as fast as i could with my desktop keyboard. I really like what they did with the keyboard in this version and i hope you all will like it too. im going to try and use the mic as a recorder in class today.
Can you please install Vista on it and tell us what the user experience numbers are with the 2 GB ram? Also, were there any drivers needed for Vista other than the ones posted for XP at Asus's site?
i actually like the new keyboard i can type on it just as good as my desktop keyboard. i will post more on the keyboard once i use it more though. the other video is still uploading and should be up soon.
wanted to add: I'm looking forward to this keyboard; the reason I was holding out on getting an ASUS was their annoying old keyboard. Also, is it just me or does the battery not jut out at all anymore?
Man, that sucks. I hate how they cover these nice computers in stickers. I can't find that video you're talking about. How do you like the new keyboard on the HE?
they are stickers. i said i was going to start it up and show the start up time but that is in the other video sorry. its in the video labeled 1000he ram upgrade.
i also pre ordered from amazon and cancelled the shipment when i saw on ebay someone was selling them in rosemead california. i paid about 12 dollars extra and got it a little earlier than i would have.

Are those stickers all over the palm rests, or just plastic static clings? I don't want to have stickers all over my shiny new netbook!
