The Swedish site IGD has reviewed the Asus Eee Pc 1000HE.

This is how the review sounds:

Test: Asus new mini PC is as smart as it is thick and heavy. Hybrid Disk, multi-touch cell phone, the best keyboard and smartest screen feature makes it a winner despite chubby external.

Eee PC 1000HE is a further development of already established 1000H, and it is the same chubby design, solid battery and smart screen solution in the predecessor. No handheld computer for you with normal-sized pockets, in short.

Display drivers for more Eee models, including this, is a bit special. The screen is 1024×600 pixels, but do you have more workspace, you will want to simply enter any size, and the desktop continues off the screen. For the mouse off the edge and surface scroll quickly and smoothly with.

Like most
Mini Computers are very similar in the platform and performance, and there is nothing special Eee 1000HE in this case. Sexcelliga batteries is the latest trend in this market, and here we get up to nine hours of operating time, or over five, when we push the computer hard, for example by playing the film. .

The details that make it
But what above all else makes Eee 1000HE stands out is not the size or performance, but small, smart details that make the experience of using the computer a little more comfortable, a little nicer and a little more fun.

For example, the keyboard, which is a wonderful beautiful lågprofilig keypad of the MacBook-style. It is a pleasure to write, never feels too small, and is neat. Actually this is the buttons almost as large as on your regular keyboard, so you do not feel claustrophobic if you want to write much text.

Then we have musplattan, which is unusually large and have very good feedback. Several PC manufacturers have begun in the spring follow Apple’s footsteps and implemented multi-touch function in musplattan. So also here, and although it is mil from the elegance and agility in a MacBook or iPhone, so there is the function there. You can scroll, browse files, zoom and rotate documents, and more. Not so very useful and bökigt with netbookens little musyta. But it is certainly a step in the right direction. There are also special “gestures” scheduled to open Windows Explorer and other programs.

There is much that is new, smart and fun with the Asus Eee PC 1000HE. Good keyboard, smart screen, fast system drive and a decent attempt at multi-touch augurs well for the future. All this at a price which is more than reasonable for what it performs.
If the computer were not so damned clumsy, so we had loved it even more.
