in Asus Eee PC 1000H review on Liliputing
I would agree with everything you said when describing the EEE 1000HA, as well. The difference between the two systems being that the 1000H supports WiFi-N, and Bluetooth, while the 1000HA does not.

I know my netbook is about the biggest/heaviest out there. But as you said, it is still a major departure from a typical notebook.

The heat and noise output are also pretty significantly reduced in comparison to a normal notebook.

I wrote up more about it at my Flickr account (really for anyone hemming and hawing about a 1000H versus a 1000HA.

I would add also, that if you have older games you still enjoy playing (Neverwinter Nights, CnC Red Alert 2, Civ 3, etc.) this system is probably plenty for some of those games.

in How to upgrade RAM on an HP Mini-Note on Liliputing
Not to seem dense, but are your icons/text to small after changing them to a larger format in the Display Properties? I couldn't find that you had looked at that in your articles and am interested to know myself while i weigh my options before i buy.

Brad Linder Yup, I've switched to larger icons and text. When you're sitting with the Mini-Note on a desk right in front of you, it's not really a problem. But when it's on my lap it tends to be a bit further away and harder to read. I'm still trying out various browsers. Opera is certainly the best, but it doesn't render some of the pages I use on a daily basis very well, so I'm looking into K-Meleon, which uses the same Gecko rendering engine as Firefox.

Brad Linder Whoops. I just noticed that I had changed my icons/fonts to extra large, but I had forgotten to change my DPI settings from 96 to 120. Now that I've done this, most things are a lot better. I'm still a bit disappointed with the default font size in Firefox and some other applications, but my eyes don't hurt quite as much as they did.
