When I’m off work and relaxing at home, the last thing I want is to be stuck inside or most of all, stuck at my computer desk. I like moving about. I like writing my blog and what ever else I need to be doing on my computer but I need a change of scenery from time to time too. I guess I just can’t sit still that long.
Well I found the perfect solution. It’s one of those Netbooks, you know, a mini-laptop. It’s the perfect thing for me to take out in my garden and sit on my swing enjoying the day while I’m still able to do what needs to be done on the computer. Check this out and you might want one too!!
The “HE” that appears in the Asus Eee PC 1000HE model name might stand for “Holy Enhancement!” This model, which bears only a passing resemblance to last year’s Eee PC 1000, improves on everything from the keyboard to the CPU. And besides losing some unsightly girth, the 1000HE has a svelte new price of just $400.
The Asus Eee PC 1000HE runs on Intel’s 1.66GHz Atom N280 CPU. Most netbooks that appeared late last year used the Atom N270 CPU, which runs at a lower frequency (1.6GHz) and has a slower front-side bus speed (533MHz instead of the N280’s 667MHz). The effect of those differences, however, was minimal. Our test unit earned a mark of 35 in WorldBench 6, an average score for a netbook.
This netbook is one of my current favorites. Considering that it sells for as little as $380, it is well worth checking out.
