Asus? response to the heap of competitors entering the netbook market is its new state-of-the-art computer, the Eee PC 1000H-BK007X. The Eee PC 1000H BK007X comes with a design similar to that of its predecessor and a mountain of new, phenomenal features, including an amply-sized 10-inch screen, 1024 MB of RAM and a larger 80 GB hard drive! When it comes to connectivity, the eeePC 1000 H BK0007 X is well equipped with three USB ports, a VGA input and a 3-in-1 memory card reader. Plus, it?s WiFi-enabled and has not only a webcam and a microphone for clear, solid images when making a video call, but also Bluetooth for synchronising and transferring information. Asus has certainly eliminated any competitors from the race with the Eee PC 1000H BK007X!


A lovely little machine - I had one of these delivered yesterday, and am finding it quick, light, quiet and very easy to use. It found my wireless network within seconds of booting up and logged on first time. I have also used it around the house and had no problem when I am away from the router. Was slightly worried I wouldn t be able to touch type on it, but am having no problems. Also the screen is large enough and bright enough to allow my 40+ eyes to read it easily!Overall a sexy little machine which is doing exactly what I want it to and which I am looking forward to being able to take out and about, given that I can carry it easily in one hand.Recommended for anyone looking for real mobile computing power.

Great! - Had this for a week now and very happy with my choice. It s a little larger than the others, but this is more than compensated for by the keyboard size and battery life. I would not like to type on anything smaller. Agree with other reviewers that the right shift key is annoyingly placed/sized, but otherwise keyboard is fine. Have found the track-pad to be more than usable, despite some complaints elsewhere.Battery life has got to be what lifts the Asus above the competition - what s the point of having a portable if you re tied to a wall-socket?XP runs just fine - optimised with fast boot-up/shut-down. I much prefer it over Linux since I can install some favourite apps such as iTunes and rent movies/ transfer video content with ease.Highly recommended.

All round excellent product, value for money - I was originally going to wait it out for the new S101, however a £100 price difference no way reflects the value for money. I have had this laptop now for about a month (bought from PCWORLD with staff discount for £315, not from Amazon). Just one thing to verify from reading other reviews - it has 3 USB 2.0 ports, not two, however if you are using this a truely portable laptop how you could use all three im not too sure. The fan underneath when I first purchased this did seem quite noisy, only really noticeable in a compeltely silent room, however is to be expected from a mechanical drive anyway. Since then the noise has seemed to become less noticeable, either that or I have just become used to it! Have been using it at college for about 4 hours every day, charging over night without any problems. Have the backlight pretty much as low as I can get it without any trouble, even using on a public bus proved no extra hassle as the keyboard is more than comfortable enough to use. I have just purchased a RAM upgrade from crucial.com for £23 which I highly recommend doing, especially if, like me you want to run lots of software such as the latest Office 2007 suite. The online storage is a bit of a fuss - the software wasn t pre loaded on the laptop, however subscription is only included for the first year, and with the 80GB hard drive and the SD card slot, I have never really seen the need to use it. Instead I use Microsoft s Live Mesh, again which I highly recommend as it has 5GB of free online storage for anyone with a .net passport (msn account) and works like an online briefcase, allowing access to ANY files anywhere from an internet connected computer, as well as syncronisation features so you work offline aswell. Overall I am very pleased with the quality and value for money this laptop represents. The only thing I could possible see for improvement would be to upgrade to a SATA SSD in the future once prices have fallen. For anyone who is considering such an upgrade, the 1000H is the perfect model to get as the EEE s with solid states built in use PCI-E connectors which are much slower than if you were to upgrade with a SATA connected one!Also for note if anyone needs, I have been running Office 2007 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Publisher, Outlook, and Expression Web) all with no problems at all, as well as Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition and some World of Warcraft (though at an average 12 fps, I tend to use my desktop machine instead). For general internet based tasks and email, I have found myself using this more than my desktop PC, super fast boot times and excellent wi-fi signal / coverage. Bluetooth, webcam, and built in stero mic are nice extras though haven t really had a need to use them (other than inital testing when I first purchased it)

Excellent netbook. Worths every single penny! - I purchased this lovely netbook a week ago. I was hesitating between this model and others such as the Samsung NC10. Now I am very happy I opted for the ASUS as Samsung is not a netbook maker whereas ASUS is. This netbook is built in quality. I was expecting this machine to be built with cheap, plastic or material but not at all. It feels rock solid, a lot better than my hp which cost me £1000. The netbook works pretty quick, no problem with it at all. Some quick thoughts about:- Webcam is good, -is excellent and pretty fast transfer data with the wifi -n, - multi touch pad is brillliant (although you need to download and install the new driver)- screen is bright,- keyboard is manageable enough, I am now writing on it with no major problems. - takes linux (eee ubuntu 8.4.1 out of the box)- lovely glossy finish (you need to keep it clean though)- battery life over 5.30 (this is real time)- able to overlock up to 1.7ghz or down to 1.3ghz very easy- key buttons - I love these handy buttons to launch applications.- speakers are decent enough (dont expect miracle)- sound is good too.I possibly miss some good points on this review but well....I think there are enough.Cons: none really for me!No problem with the keyboard lay out. And generally happy with my Eee PC.If you are going to buy a netbook do not think twice about getting an ASUS. They have not been making and selling netbooks for a year for no reasons. They are the leaders and will be there for a long time.Hope you find my review handy and useful. If you need anything please let me know and I will be more than happy to help you.David

Dead notebook - Having purchased an ASUS EEE PC 1000H netbook less than three weeks ago, I came home this evening after work, switched it on and - NOTHING - completely dead ie no charging light, zilch. Tried resetting, nothing. The slim manual it comes with is rudimentary and contains no troubleshooting guide. When I switched it off last night it had been working perfectly well up to that point, but it is now a shiny expensive black paperweight. Asus Support keep civilised hours ie knock off at 5, so it will be tomorrow before I can ring their helpdesk to ascertain if it s fixable or if I have to return it. I would guess the latter. As I have loaded software, files etc which I currently have no way of retrieving, this is extremely inconvenient and to say I m somewhat miffed is an understatement. Until this is sorted - and I ll post what happens - I would not recommend buying this product regardless of how well it s meant to perform. I don t know if this is a common problem or a one-off but it s unacceptable and I m very disappointed.
