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

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".  That was last Thursday and now they are selling for $409.  So much for the "below the cost" talk. | |

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. 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.
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"?

Nevermind, looks like June.

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. http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing...oad/trueimage/ | |

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?

HD is similar, just more screw, that's all.
I am down-grading the size to 60GB but faster SSD.
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.

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. =(

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.
