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.

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's a bit heavier than aao, but gotta love that extra battery life and bigger keyboard.

now they found on they made a mistake on-line (canada computers, suppose to be in store only) they didn't confirm anything with me yet. it might be cancelled...

it's not. I got the deal from redflagdeals from CanadaComputer last Friday.

http://www.canadacomputers.com/

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)
