Re: What my desk looks like today

Oh yeah, that's exactly the reason I haven't upgraded yet. But in a
market that's only existed for about 2 years, I still think of a year
old computer as ancient.

My trusty old 1000H has a 1.6GHz Atom N270 CPU, and 1GB of RAM just
like all the new kids. And it's got 802/11b/g/n, and Bluetooth which
is nice. But it has a 4-5 hour batter while the newer versions can
often get 8+ hours. And it's kind of big and heavy as netbooks go.
It's also saddled with the small, awkward right-shift key, but that's
never bothered me as much as it does some people.

I might pick up an Eee PC 1000HE battery soon to give it a little more
life. Or I might break down and upgrade before the holiday season.
I've got a 17 hour plane ride planned in November and it would be nice
to have enough battery power on hand.

I don't know why you are calling it a dinosaur.

I keep wanting to upgrade my 1000H also, but besides the exterior, most netbooks out there have similar specs. I am looking forward to the ten inch touch screen from asus and pineview, but besides that nothing out there nowadays shouts 'upgrade'.

Amen, the wait is killing me too! I'm even going to make a custom pocket in my jacket so I can have it on me at all times :)

goodness.. when will ASUS anounce the release date for the 901 and 1000 in the US. The wait is driving me crazy, I can't wait for the better preformance and battery life.
