The ASUS EeePC 1000HE makes fewer compromises than other netbooks, and the value you get—in terms of design, typing experience, and battery life, among others—for an excellent price will be tough to beat.

With the Asus Eee PC 1000HE, ASUS offers one of the best values in netbooks around. This system features a vastly improved keyboard, and its trackpad and touch buttons are better than most systems in its class. In the field of sub-$500 netbooks, the $399 Eee PC 1000HE is a very good choice. Ultimately, we prefer the Samsung NC10 because it offers an even better keyboard and a thinner and lighter design, even though it costs $50 more and its battery doesn’t last quite as long.

ASUS made some good improvements to the Asus Eee pc1000HE, most notably the newer keyboard. The keyboard is more comfortable to type on over the old style and the improved spacing helps to reduce typing errors. Overall I would say ASUS has an impressive new netbook and a very affordable starting price.
