Exactly what the Doctor ordered!
This little netbook is amazing! My original thought was to upgrade it to 2GB of RAM, and I may still do it, but it hasn't proven necessary; this running Office and stock analysis software. Even if the person in front of me on the plane has their seat back down, it's comfy to use. Touch typing is no problem. There's only one minor concern -- the up-arrow and the right-shift are in the wrong place, but you can remap the keyboard.
MY FIRST LAPTOP
5 stars *****---not 2**
This is my very first laptop-or netbook-or mini-laptop. I did alot of research before purchase. My needs were simple. Small enough to take along that doesen't weigh you down, but with a screen big enough to see comfortably. I was originally looking for a kimble reading device--decided a small computer would be more versatile for the same money, and it is. I was also originally looking at its smaller brother- the 7 inch screen- but then found this 10 inch big brother. Perfect for my needs and gives a whole screen shot. I have the larger 6 cell battery that doesn't really give you 7 hrs of time, more realistically 4-5. It reads e-books just like a sony or kimble, but can do everything a laptop can do as well, ...

Size fits needs.
The Asus 1000H fits my needs well. I am a fulltime student and the battery life keeps up with a full day of classes. I run "Open Office" with XP to accomplish my class work. The 1.6 GHz processor, 2 GB ram, and 80 GB laptop drive provides plenty of room with space to spare. Its connectivity with networks whether hardwired or wireless allows internet access across the campus. And it is light weight.
Great Buy!
ASUS Eee PC 1000H 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Fine Ebony is great! I added my own software once I got it and use it for work and home. Highly recommend!
ASUS in Paris
I bought the ASUS for my daughter Andrea, who was about to start a three-month assignment in France and who needed to replace her four-year old Compaq laptop, which weighed a ton. Until then, Andrea had not been a big fan of technology. But she tells me that now -- for the first time ever -- she makes a point of going around showing off her new ASUS PC because "it's so cute!" It also seems to work well; the display is easy to read; a battery charge lasts a long time; and it comes with the XP operating system, which she prefers to Vista. It's also very comfortable with European power supplies -- which the seller seemed to doubt. And it was an excellent value.
