Asus has done it again. The new Asus Eee PC 1000 netbook is claimed to overcome the previous series of netbooks Asus Eee. It comes with two choices of operating systems, namely, Linux and Windows XP. As similar to other rival netbooks on the market (like the Acer Aspire One and MSI Wind), the Asus Eee PC 1000 is equipped with a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 and 1024GB of RAM as standard. Linux comes with a 80 GB hard disk, on the other hand, for the Windows XP version has a capacity of 160GB. This is really the first time the Eee PC Windows version has a larger capacity than the Linux version.

In terms of design and general, Asus Eee PC 1000 is not very different compared to the previous Eee PC 901. In fact, if you look further, you will notice that both models have the same shiny metal hinges and curved edge of the eyelid. Currently asus Eee PC 1000 launched only one type of color that is shiny black, but will not be too surprised to see more colors will be available in the future.

Asus Eee PC 1000 is by far the most netbooks currently on the market, measured in 225 x 170 x 20 mm thick. The dimensions of the Eee PC 1000 are slightly larger than the MSI Wind netbook, but despite its size, is still considered very portable. The only downside to the Eee PC 1000 I can see is their own weight. It weighs about 1.45 kg with battery, without battery, weighs 1.10 kg.

The general layout of the keyboard of the Asus Eee PC 1000 is good. But we realize that there is a small flaw. We first noticed is the keyboard is rather awkward. Secondly, the size of the shift key on the right seems a little small compared to other keys on the keyboard.

The mouse pad track Asus Eee PC 1000 supports input signals through multi-touch movement. You can easily use two fingers to scroll horizontally or vertically through your files, photos and multimedia. This is ideal for surfing the web, and can really make life much easier.

As a verdict on the whole, Asus Eee PC 1000 is a great device for you to manage your daily tasks with ease and efficiency. You can get a high capacity to pay less if you choose the model of Windows XP is installed. This series of Asus Eee is certainly pulling all the other competitors in the netbook market.
