Asus Eee PC 1000HE with new battery & keyboard

Asus Eee PC 1000HE with new battery & keyboard

Asus has a landing page for the upcoming Eee PC Netbook 1000HE. As I discovered at CES, there are a few things that distinguish this laptop from the original Eee PC 1000h. First, it has the new “Chiclete” keyboard with the Shift key on the right side of the keyboard on the left side of the arrow upward, resulting in many touch typists happy. Secondly, the computer has the new Intel Atom N280 CPU and chipset GN50, the better graphics performance and a little bit of a speed boost.Finally, the Asus Eee PC 1000HE has a higher capacity battery. Asus claims that the users should have the opportunity as much as 9.5 hours of battery life from the 6 cell battery. But that is compatible with the Wi-Fi disabled. I’m guessing that the means of 7 or 8 hours under normal conditions of use, but that’s not bad. It is also noteworthy that, if I get this Netbook at CES, Asus claims that it would be an Intel Atom N270 CPU and get 8.7 hours of battery life. So obviously the N280 offers some savings, even if it runs at a speed of up to 1.66GHz instead of 1.6 GHz.

MSI Wind U120 reviewed

The folks at Laptop Magazine, and Wired’s Gadget Lab each have a chance to spend some time alone with him new MSI Wind U120 Netbook. The Netbook offers a few modest changes to the original MSI Wind U100 laptop. It has a new chassis, two mouse buttons below the touchpad, and a new face recognition feature, where you are on your computer just by looking at is.

While Gadget Lab says the new touchpad is larger and easier to use, Laptop Magazine, which is a much more comprehensive review, it is still the same size and disappointingly low. Even more interesting, Laptop Magazine says the U120 is about 30 minutes less than the battery life of U100. The new Netbook tops to about 4 hours and for the use, while the older laptop lasted about 5 hours of Web browsing.

It is the image in full size for the stronger, while the smaller display on a 4.3inch widescreen when a trackpad would be.
