ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9.5 Hour Battery Life Buy Now

I purchased the ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10-Inch Netbook (1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 10 GB Eee Storage, Bluetooth, XP Home, 9.5 Hour Battery Life) Blue
Netbook in March 2009. I upgraded to 2 GB of RAM with no problem. I use this netbook to transcribe my recorded class notes and for internet access. I am very happy with my purchase. I looked at several netbooks in this price range and decided on the Eee PC because of the keyboard and the battery life. The keyboard on the Asus Eee PC is a scaled-down duplication of the keyboard on my larger/heavier HP laptop. I like the feel of the larger ergonomic chiclet keyboard and the right shift key is in the correct place for typing. The mouse pad location causes the mouse pointer to jump around when I rest my wrists on the edge of the keyboard, so I try to either not do that or disable the mouse pad and use a USB mouse instead. The long battery life is for real!!!! This netbook travels everywhere with me as it is my primary tool for internet communication. It fits very nicely in a shoulder bag that measures 9 inches tall, 13 inches long, and 5 inches thick (9x13x5). In this bag I also carry the power cord and the USB mouse. As I said, it is a shoulder bag that is very easy (and light) to carry and it also fits into my motorcycle saddle bags. Although the blue Eee PC shows fingerprints, I love the color. I have no problems picking up network connections wherever I go. Compared to the other computers/laptops I use in my life, this one is slower to connect to and surf the internet with. For me, that was a small trade-off. I am running Windows XP and the Bluetooth mouse I purchased did not work well, so I returned it and use a USB mouse or the mouse pad. It was a good purchase that I would do again.Get more detail about ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9.5 Hour Battery Life.
