Exactly. But look at the total price you're paying, maybe $800 for a crazy, souped-up netbook that's light, fast, slim and has better battery life than an equivalent-priced laptop. Some people will still go for the laptop, but I'd go for the netbook because it's crazy and I got to put mods in it ahhaha 
Next step, carbon fibre sticker overlays from eBay!

It's much cooler too. It used to get a little hotter on the Aspire one, but now I can't fell anything and the CPU fan hardly come up now.  | Yeah only the crazy expensive SSD's will gain more battery savings. Mainly MLC ones.

^i've had the 1000 for over 9 months now and IMO 10.2" is a good match between comfort and ultra-portability. It'd be perfect if it was just a bit lighter
if you can find HE for under $450 then i think you should make the switch

i use the 1000HE now after a Acer Aspire One and an MSI Wind. this is the best netbook evAR. so far lol
phenominal battery life. nice big keyboard. readily swappable HDD and RAM via removeable door. overclockable. wireless N, BT.
nice big screen.
the bad. the unit is a little heavy, compared to the other two.
i put a 500 GB drive and 2 GB ram in mine

I got a 1000he for my boss yesterday. NCIX gave me $439 but un-willing to match $419 online.
I just ordered mine according to Redflagdeals. $405 + 1 tax + $6 shipping = $432.58 total (Black or Blue). Now that's a good price. That's cheaper than my AAO 8.9".  I am finally going with 1000HE. Forget about VAIO P. http://canadacomputers.com/index.php...id=896.862.656
Can't wait to put my 64GB SSD in there. | |

N120 has too much screen bezel for my liking.. Mind you the speakers are supposed to be kickass on it.

It was quickly removed within few hours.
There are ppl getting it for $370+taxes from Staples.ca with stacked coupons. But they are out of stock.... http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/s...d.php?t=721594
Here is the invoice... It's on Purolator coming to me right now...

what colour did you guys get the HE in?
I noticed they have blue now too..it's kinda fugly
white one's are pretty played out for netbooks but i think it still looks the best for the 1000 series
Do they sell them with the circular decals?
How you guys liking the messed up right shift ? haha
if any of you guys find that annoying when typing..you should look into key tweak (binds your left arrow for shift)
