Manufacturer: ASUS
I recently bought this item. I love the color, blue, and it is a great little computer. I am in the health care field and I use it to type notes when I am traveling. Its size makes it perfect for typing in the car.
There is one problem though with the touch pad. When you use the keyboard the curser is still active and it jumps around on the document you are trying to type on. This is annoying and time consuming.
I went to my PC tech and he said that most computers have a program that shuts down the cursor while you type with several seconds time delay. But my Asus PC 1000HE did not have that program. The solution he recommended was to delete the touch pad software and install basic touchpad software that shuts the cursor with several seconds delay when you use the keyboard.
Now it is working great without a problem but I did have to pay labor charges to have it taken care of.
Also, it came with and XP support DVD. However, if you want to use it you would have to purchase an external CD ROM drive. Maybe they should have put the info on a flash drive instead.
These issues aside the ASUS is a good little PC for my purposes. They could however improve on the product to make it even better.

Hi I am really keen to buy a blue version of this netbook, but can't find anywhere in Sydney that stocks these, or can even order them in. Does any one know where I can get one?
www.catchoftheday.com.au
sign up and look in the caught section. they are going for $629.00
Just got one of these from Catch of the day for $399 + $15 postage!
Now it is well worth the $.
great machine for that money. Replaced my wifes 7.5 yr old $3500 laptop and it is faster.
I install all software over the wireless home network, office installed no worries.
The Asus Eee PC 1000HE is a good 10-inch netbook; while we're hanging out for the higher resolution HP Mini 2140, this is definitely one of the better 10-inch netbooks on the market.
RRP: AU$899.00

How can this be better value then the MSI Wind when the MSI Wind has no RRP? If the MSI Sells for say $1200 is that still better value?
