Even if you don’t know much about Asus you have probably almost certainly heard about the Asus EEE PC – no wonder, because it is a very popular sub notebook computer. It was the first affordable sub notebook, or net book computer to be launched.

The original EEE PC’s had 7″ screens which was far not big enough for the majority of people. Recently Asus has added two new models to its line, including the EEE PC 901 and EEE PC 1000. The 901 has a larger screen and is available in both Windows XP and Linux configurations. Although the 901 is a great computer more people are excited about the EEE PC 1000. These are more expensive than the original EEE PC’s, however they are still very good value.

So what’s the EEE PC 1000 got?

10″ Screen
92% size keyboard compared to standard laptop keyboards
1.6GHz Intel Atom Processor
A choice of windows XP or Linux
40GB SSD

Asus also produced an EEE PC 1000H model which is identical in spec, with the exception of the SSD being replaced with an 80GB conventional hard drive.
 
The 1000H is the first EEE PC to come with a conventional hard drive. This machine is designed to compete with the already popular HP Mininote computer. The only real complaint that people had with the original EEE PC was that was the keyboard and screen size was a little too small. Now thanks to the 901 and 1000 there are two different options people have available.

The EEE PC 1000 is available with Windows XP preinstalled, or a Linux version. The Linux version is cheaper than the XP version. Again this could be in line with competing machines.

The keyboard size is a very impressive improvement, the keyboard is only slightly smaller than a standard laptop computer keyboard it’s actually 92% the size of a standard laptop computer keyboard. This makes typing much easier than with the original models.

There will no doubt be plenty more EEE PC’s released further down the line, what’s in store for us? Well we’ll have to wait to find out! A touch screen would be a fantastic addition to the EEE PC as it would make it even easier to use. But to make sure that you choose the best, learn how to digest notebook comparison review.

The great thing about these computers is that they are very affordable, even models with windows XP are much cheaper than many other subnotebook computers. All of the EEE PC 1000 models are run using Atom processors, which are a new processor created by Intel, this makes it very efficient to use Intel. The EEE PC 1000 does not have any optical drives, and when using the SSD drive there are no moving parts inside the computer. This makes it the ideal PC to travel with.
