Asus Eee PC 1000 - 40GB SSD Linux Edition video review

  • More Photos
  • Video

Though excellent in almost every respect, the price is a little too dear given that the Windows XP version of the same machine will retail for £20 less and feature a larger hard drive. If you fancy the form factor over the 9in 901 and lust after SSD storage it will serve you exceedingly well, but at this price it's not the one we'd recommend buying. Read full review

Three of the best Budget Laptops

  1. HP Pavilion DM4-2101

    Our rating:
    9/10

    The best-looking, longest-lasting laptop you can get for under £500?

  2. Samsung RV720

    Our rating:
    9/10

    Want a large laptop without the large outlay? Samsung’s cheap but cheerful 17.3in effort comes highly recommended.

  3. Acer Aspire 5750

    Our rating:
    8/10

    With Acer's latest 15.6in budget laptop, you get a lot for your money. If you can live with its flaws, it's a great buy.

Yes the 40gb in linux going to be big i think as you can always format and install XP if you like. and powered by the New ATOM Processor and having wireless N land and bluetooth built in webcam i can not see the point in buying any higher priced notebooks for surfing checking email and internet. ive just placed me pre order at ASUS eeepc www.asusnotebooks.co.uk hopefully saying they will have me stock middle of JULY.





Ill comment again once fully tested and used see if it is the deal Paul King

40GB is plenty of storage. Hell, I'm happy with the 4GB on the 7 series!





I think paying £20 to upgrade from hard drive to SSD is a reasonable price - much better than the Macbook Air upgrade.





Having playing with the MSI Wind - I find this form factor strays slightly from what was the original point of the EeePC - it was never meant to be a complete laptop. It'll be interesting to see if it's as easy to carry as the 7 series - which feels like I'm taking a book on the train.

Sorry again Andy, Ive read in other places that the secondary SSD used in both the 901 and the 1000 are not fast SSD's and when compared to the 1000H 80GB HDD there isn't much difference. Did you notice this? Or were you happy with the overall performance of the 1000?

You'd be hard pressed to notice any real difference in my opinion. After all, these kinds of machines aren't really intended for their high performance, so any differences in that performance is near non-existant.

love the bigger size keyboard, and this is really the form factor i've been waiting for. Hope it will be available in Denmark soon, though i doubt it :(





Can't decide wether to get the windows og linux version. the SSD isn't faster?. It's just more reliable?

Yeah, that's about right and obviously it's smaller as well.
