Question: When are they going to start shipping the 1000HE?? I pre-ordered one last week. Anyone know when they start shipping?
Document: Just a heads up to anyone turned off by the 2-4 week ship time. I placed my order last Wed 2/25 and it with 1 day shipping I got it today 3/2. Much impressed with Asus, the 1000HE and amazon.
It feels sturdy.BATTERY LIFE. I've played around with the battery settings and will leave it on power save. I've surfed the web, written several emails, and watched an hour-long TV show online...on a single charge, and it's still going strong.CONFIGURED FOR THE REAL WORLD. The 1000HE was ready to start work from the minute I turned it on; no superfluous trial versions or demos of software had been pre-installed.
I know mine is going to get a lot more use than my 12" Toshiba will!You can read a lot of reviews of this model online, so do your homework. The ASUS EEE PC 1000HE is well worth checking out. There are dozens of other ASUS models, so don't be tempted by a lower price for an older not HE model. Unless a later, improved model has come out as I write this, the 1000HE is the top ASUS model in the 10" class.One last thing.
Got 2 of these 1000HE's this week. I'd ordered the 2 GB memory modules along with the computers and installed them before the first start-up. Could not have been easier: turn it over, remove two small screws from the large square plate (the only one there) covering the memory stick and the 160GB HD, push the two locking clips to the left and right respectively (they stay put) and the old stick pops up slightly.
I recently pre ordered the new Asus EEEpc 1000HE, which is one of the many new "netbook" computers. Netbooks are basically very small laptop computers designed with portability, battery life and internet access in mind. No, they are not set up to play graphics intensive games. They do tend to be a bit underpowered by most geek standards. However, they have come a long way from their origin, when they were basically toys, and not real computers.
The 10 inch Asus netbooks are a ton of computer for the money... and it weighs just a little over 3 lbs. (I'm a musician and travel constantly. What a relief to shed 3+ lbs of carry on weight!) BTW I dropped my Eee on a hard floor last week and NO damage was done. Amazing. Oh yeah, no need to buy a soft case because it comes with one that'll do fine if it's going in your briefcase or backpack.
I think this ASUS Eee PC 1000HE is just great--but -- My first blue netbook apparently arrived DOA. Since there is a 2-3 week wait for another blue, I ordered the black one. Got it, it's up and running smooth as anything. Returned the 1st one, I just couldn't believe it wouldn't run at all!Now I had ordered the Crucial brand 2GB memory card, but, was sent the wrong card.
I looked at almost every netbook available and read over 500 reviews before deciding on this one. I bought the 1002HA (brushed aluminized) for my wife because she didn't need the battery life and wanted something more professional looking. [Edit] I spent the weekend passing it around to people I know and letting them type on it, and everyone (big or small) pretty much agreed that it was an easy keyboard to adjust to and comfortable. My father ordered the Blue 1000HE (from Amazon!)
I ordered the blue 1000he about 10 days ago.I received it on Thursday of last week (approximately 5 days after my order went through).COLOR & DESIGNOut of the box I was pleasantly surprised by the rich dark blue of the shell. I ordered the blue because I am frankly tired of black laptops. Unfortunately many of the images I could find of the blue seemed to show it a lighter blue, an almost girlie color (I am not a female and didn't find that very appealing).
I am going to install Linux on the computer soon, will see how it does. I am very happy with this laptop. It is so light it is unbelievable. My laptop weighs less than my portfolio! This laptop would be great for college kids to carry around plus the battery would last them through all of their classes. The battery life is the best I have ever had in a laptop.I highly recommend this laptop to anyone.
Answer: If I don't get a tracking number by the end of the week from Amazon I'm switching to a different e-tailer that is shipping.
