Part 2 of a hands-on video tour of the Asus Eee PC 1000 - the next model up from the Eee PC 901. These two models are compared side by side, and the MSI Wind U100 makes an appearance, too.

  • The Asus is better than the MSI for two main reasons. Firstly, build quality is much better. Secondly, what's the point of a small, portable device if the battery life is crap? The Asus has the 6 cell battery and can last up to 8 hours. MSI is more like 2.5 hours!

  • wanna see it surfin' the web !!

    or doing something not turned off all the time :(

  • the SHIFT button on the newer version is in the most awkward place ever!! makes it impossible to use conveniently :(

  • thankyou!! for showing all sides of the netbooks. Its a shame that both pull air in from the bottom, but it looks like the asus 1000 has much smaller vents. I assume thats because they have better heat management. The MSI wind looked like it had _tons_ of venting on the bottom, which is a shame.

    My bro lost a laptop because he was running it on his bed, and the sheets blocked the vents, thus overheating the computer.

    I think the big battery for the asus actually helps, because it elevates.

  • The 1000 has a solid-state-drive (40GB) while the 1000hd has a 160 GB hard disk drive.

  • I have a 701 with the crappy xandros system, I'm going to install xubuntu or puppy linux.

    Only problem is the atheros Ethernet and WiFi interface, you need proprietary drivers.

  • It sure does and very nice speakers as well. I use mine for playing MP(2,3)'s, AVI's, etc.

    I also use it in the field with an MSI USB DVTV tuner. Great sound, excellent picture quality.

  • I can live without bluetooth, but I really miss 1394

  • The only bad thing about the white 901 is my keys get really grubby. The reason the plug pack turned into a brick is the plug pack is 9.5V @ 2.5A, the "brick" is 12V @ 3A.

    With my 901 I get nearly 6 hours, and that is running a Huawei E169 #g modem, an MSI USB DVB TV tuner and an external Logitech laser mouse! (Yes, I video chat in the middle of nowhere!)

    I love my 701 and my 901, the best money I've ever spent on a computer system. I don't mid the lack of bluetooth, but I miss 1394.

    Great buy!

  • what is the main difference between 1000 and 1000hd

  • 6 hrs. depend on the use...or even lasts fro 7.5 hrs..because its a 6 cell battery

  • black sks
