They have a silver one somewhere too. Mine is black

What's wrong with the right shift? It's perfect now on the 1000HE.

ncix has it this week on sale for $409 as of 10pm I looked at. 15 only.

^
5 left when i looked... this is scary, going to price match, think crystal computers will do a match for that price....

doubt it. most computer stores operated by Chinese will not give a bargain (according to russell peters) :) Be a man. :haha:

I went to NCIX to price match $419 last week on 1000he, they told me $439 is the lowest or it will be "below cost". :p That was last Thursday and now they are selling for $409. :rolleyes: So much for the "below the cost" talk. :rolleyes:

btw, you owe me an apology for calling BS. :D

^
you wish.
Move on.
K that 409 deal got me worked up, and you're right about the chinese no bargain deal, but atleast he's charging me 1 tax.. So around 465 after tax? still not bad ...I hope the dual atom doesnt come out right after i get this...

^ come on. be a man. :p lol.

it's still good deal. I paid $490+ last week for my boss' 1000he. he wanted one for quick email and asked me to pick up at nxic. :p


nah, dual atom not yet. but nvidia ion is coming soon. ;)
when a small laptop at around $400, even if the new one comes out, u can easily sell the one u have and lose only a little.

back in the day I paid $3k for my 16" 1600x1200 Sony laptop, I end up selling it for $1k after a little more than a year. :(

How "soon" is "soon" for the nvidia ion? Before next fall "soon"?

:D

Edit:
Nevermind, looks like June.

Linky Linky

^ yap, just 1 month away in theory. :)

Well announcements ie make and models will probably be in June. However actual product may not be for sometime.

^ and that's probably enough time for me to get bore with 1000he. ;)

whatever im really satisfied with the eee wont be looking forward to upgrading for another year.. NOW TIMET O UPGRADE TO 2gb ram.... Easy access to the ram slot?

yup. 2 screws and pop it open. change the HDD for a 500 GB while youre in there looolll

yap, got my 2GB DDR2 800 so-dimm ordered last week ($28 from NCIX). 64GB SSD from !MiKrofT is ready too. :D

my 1000HE is home waiting for me now. :)

or maybe I should just sell it before I open it.... to put the money in my new car tomorrow..... :)

i dont really need 500gb LOL! and damn if i change the HDD that means, id have to reinstall xp on my own??!

no, u can clone. takes an hour or so depending how much data you have.

download Ture Image trial and it's allowed for 15 days or so. simple and easy.
hook up new drive via USB (get a 2.5" SATA enclosure). Once clone is done, swap the drive and that's all.

I'm not a computer wiz unfortunately, and 160gb is more than enough for me. I just want 2gb ram. The ram is really just, Slip and slide right?

yap. simple and easy.

HD is similar, just more screw, that's all.
I am down-grading the size to 60GB but faster SSD. :D
320GB 7200rpm would be a good choice to upgrade if you want it to be a bit faster in loading Windows. The whole Atom is limited not just on the memory, but also the HD speed.

yeah the installing ram is really easy, you just have to push the two clips on the side that are holding the DIMM in place and you basically just have to wiggle it a little to pull it out. then slide the new one in at 45 degrees.

got my 1000he tonight. the blue one is actually dark navy blue. looks almost like black. much better than the picture show on the Internet. I am glad. :)
got my 2gb ddr2 800 installed. clone it onto the 60gb ssd. it's all good.

wireless is awsome compare to AAO. download a nvidia driver for testing and got 1.3mb/s where as my AAO is only 700~800kb/s

BTW, ion is coming out very soon. the driver for ion is available on nvidia already.

^
Yeah the wireless N is pretty nuts, loving it. Downloads so much faster.

And the F9 function is pretty good, considering i got a virus when i was searching for some anti-virus program and accidentally clicked on some random popup. =(

Yeah wireless N is great. Nothng like transferring ISO's at 13MB/s off my desktop haha. My next mod might be to swap out the wireless card for a Wireless N Mac compatible one.. and Dualboot OSX muwahaha.

asus eeee 1000he still pwns all the newer asus coming out =D.
hands down.
OFFTOPIC****
What is a good program to songs from your ipod to the computer? Searched around for a few but they Pay 2 Use.

Pricematches are NCIX are really iffy in done person. I've had experiences where they wouldn't pricematch in-store, but if I did it online, 100% of the time they would. So do it online and save yourself time.
