After looking around, I decided on the Asus 1000H and souped up to 2GB RAM. With the exception of a DVD/CD drive which is common in all netbooks, the 1000H for my use (esp mobility) is the perfect substitute for my latop.Its one hellava machine for its price. I got the white coloured one and its terribly sexy. Agree with your daughter. After looking around, I decided on the Asus 1000H and souped up to 2GB RAM.

Have surveyed the Aspire One, MSI Wind, HP, Asus Eee and Lennovo. In terms of value, battery life of use, ease of use, memory space, design a la look and feel etc, I will pick Asus Eee 1000H as the best netbook to-date. But do watch Lennovo when they introduce their 6-cell battery (currently only 3-cell ehich is its main disadvantage). Its Oct 08. Have surveyed the Aspire One, MSI Wind, HP, Asus Eee and Lennovo.

My guess it will be lower, if it is to find its place in the market.

It's price point alone is making me want to make this one my Netbook of choice. At the price tag it is now, 400 or less, it seems to be the best DEAL by far, seeing as how you have to go over 500 dollars, almost even over 600, to get a "good spec" version of another computer. The specs aren't what's important in these netbooks: it's the price! When taking pricing into account, does the MSI Wind still top competitors like the Acer Aspire One?

I regard the Wind and 1000H as mini laptops not Netbooks since they offer a more mainstream laptop like experience i.e.(big keys, large HD). Its a shame that Acer havent really been clear in distinguishing between the 901 and 1000 pricewise I guess this is the legacy of having the budget end of the market to themselves for so long. They really need to agressivly market the 901 at the same price as the Apsire One or cheaper. Now the big boys (IBM,HP and Dell) are looking into this area its gonna get very crowded and cutthroat.

The answer so far is YES! It is much more practicable for taking around (perhaps only 30% lighter than the Vaio) but she loves everything about the EEE. It's faster loading and runs quicker. OK the screen display quality is not as good as the Vaio (which has always been superb) and I wouldn't want to be using the latest Paintshop Pro to touch-up images which needed intricate care however, for surfing, wp, email etc it's excellent. She has decided she doesn't want her Vaio back (which cost over 1400 quid 2 years ago) and is off to UNI with it in September. I wonder how reliable it will be. The Vaio had to be returned for repairs- (all electronic failures) 4 times in 2 years!
