The hang around is lastly over for the EEE PC 1000, a notebook that promises to assassinate all that enters into the net book showground. Its the most well-resourced and leading in the EEE series and has shed aside the usability shackles of its minuscule predecessors.

Design
The EEE PC 1000 has much in familiar with the EEE PC 901. Its got the identical shiny, metallic hinges and a curvy-edged lid. At present, its only accessible in one color -- lustrous black -- but wed be astonished if Asus doesnt discharge a white version and other consequent hues in the in the vicinity of future. The EEE PC 1000 is the chief mini notebook weve come across. Its 225 by 170 by 20mm framework is a few millimeters wider and deeper than an MSI Wind, but we dont comprise too much of a concern with this; its still extremely portable.

Performance
There are few surprises within the machine -- chiefly if youve been following our reporting of the EEE PC 1000 for the preceding few months. It utilizes a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, plus 1GB of DDR reminiscence much like the EEE PC 900, Acer Aspire One and MSI Wind.

Asus is launching 2 variants of the 1000, as it did with the 901, 900 and 701. The £369 EEE PC 1000-BK002 ships along with Linux and 40GB of solid-state storage and the £349 EEE PC 1000H-BK007X utilizes an 80GB HDD drive and Windows XP. Remarkably, this is the 1st time in EEE history that the Windows XP variant has had more storage space than the Linux replica and the 1st time there has been a price divergence between the 2 versions.

Theres extremely diminutive difference between the EEE PC 1000 and the respite of its Atom-planted rivals in terms of presentation. The 1000 clocked up 1,512 in PCMark 2005, which is an exceptionally reputable score for an engine of this type.

Battery life was appealingly impressive in the EEE PC 1000. We werent predicting it to be as extended as the EEE PC 901s, due to its bigger display, but it fared astoundingly well. It lasted 3 hours 56 minutes while inspecting a DivX movie, which is good quality in comparison to the 901s 4.5 hours.

Conclusion
The EEE PC 1000 is a tremendous machine. It unsteadily straddles the line flanked by mini notebook and ultra portable, but its fighting fit and planted best to face it, well calculated and enormous for those who require a functional notebook on the move. Its more posh than the correspondingly outfitted MSI Wind, but it does possess its advantages like the multi-touch mouse track pad and a selection of specification. As an effect, we advocate it highly.

Pros
+ It’s an EEE variant
+ Battery life too good
+ Display quality is class apart

Cons
- A bit on the heavier region

The Asus Eee PC T91 Tablet netbook was officially announced at the CES. Though the release date is set somewhere in March the guys at bit-tech.net have managed to get their hands on a pre-production Eee PC T91 sample.

According to bi-tech the most notable feature of Eee PC T91 Tablet is the touch-sensitive display with 1024 x 600 native resolution. This 8.9-inch LED-backlit display can rotate up to 180 degrees on a hinge. Not just the screen, but the hinge also rotates by 180 degrees and Asus claims that the Eee PC T91 is the smallest and the slimmest tablet PC up to date when the display screen is folded back on to the keyboard.

The Eee PC T91 is powered by Intel Atom Z520 processor with Intel US15W chipset, 1GB of DDR2 memory and 32GB SSD. It will also include Bluetooth, WiFi 802.11 b/g, 10/100 Ethernet and an integrated webcam. The Eee PC T91 also has options for GPS connectivity, 3G module and DVB-T TV tuner. This tablet netbook runs on Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3 installed. The Eee PC T91 meaures 225x164x25.2-28.4 mm(W x D x H) and weighs less than 1kg with battery attached. Asus has also announced that it is working on another version of this Tablet called T101 with a 10-inch display.

As concluded by bi-tech, “Ultimately, the quality of Asus’ touch screen software is going to determine the fate of this device because, without great software, you’re paying for a feature that might be useful on occasion, but is likely to be a hindrance more often than not. Having not spent time using the software yet, its impossible to gauge the fate of the T91 – keyboard and touch pad issues aside though, the devices build quality is a notch above most other Eee PCs and not too far from the S101. And given the amount of time between now and the expected end of April availability date, we expect the issues we encountered to be resolved. If touch is your thing, this might be worth a look.”

Well what would you know, the update to one of the most complete netbook packages on the market today has gotten a much needed update. Since netbooks are all about typing and not performance its imperative that a company nails the keyboard layout. So far the only persons to do that has been HP but Asus 1000H did come pretty close.

The update to the previously mentioned system now carries that SHIFT key to the left instead of the right, other enhancements include a six-cell battery pack and 802.11n, Bluetooth and were hearing a lower price tag although that price has not been stated as well as the release date. But knowing HP it shouldnt be long before we get some more details on this one. For now enjoy the above picture and continue your fantasizing regime.

Asus most recent EEE PC, the S101, is slotted to commence in the US on November 1st. The S101 appears smooth and fashionable, with a skinny body (.75"), and it definitely positions above the other EEE variants in terms of aesthetics. The EEE PC S101 will exercise a 10.2" LED exhibit with a self-effacing resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, and will proffer incorporated 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, and a multi-card flash reader. The mechanism will run an Intel Atom N270 processor with 1GB of RAM, and will have an accounted battery life of approx. 5 hours. The arrangement comes packed with Windows XP.

Yes we know this is not terribly exciting but those 1000HE Eee models that Asus demoed at CES have begun to ship. More importantly is the fact that they carry a few cool features for the sub $400 netbook crowd like the updated 1.6GHz N280 CPU, and a 9.5 hour battery.

But as we said before you might want to wait a bit until the tablet editions unveil themselves a few months from now which are bound to bring Windows 7 support as well as multi touch capabilities and according to Asus they will be under $300.

But if you have money fro both, go right on ahead and place your order and the LINK below.
