Thank you everyone. I see the people here who like it and that's helpful. Some other places people did not like their screens, speakers sounded funny, etc... it makes you wary. As some of the other reviews were straight out of the box I wanted to see if everyone was still satisfied after the "honeymoon" period. Thanks again!!

No buyers remorse here. Got and love it. It does everything and a little more for me. I've tried Windows Vista, Windows 7 (7048), Ubuntu, Backtrack 3, and it all runs pretty snappy. I can play most of my games on it too. I still keep my big laptop around for the heavy lifting: video editing, gaming, and to play with my virtual pc's. I charge the 1000HE at night and make it through the next day (obviously I don't use it constantly), so I can say I am completely satisfied. Heck, I can even check my auctions of World of Warcraft.

Matte finish vs Glossy finish! You can have that ACER with its glossy screen, the glare is horrible! I'll take the trade off of less vivid colors!I love mine! I think the sound is appropriate for the small speaker system. I am personally happy with the display and I've used both the ASUS and ACER. That ACER looks deceptively great until you start using it and the glare drives you crazy.

I would buy it again. If you can, get to a store to test the Eee's and other netbooks and hopefully it will help you in your decision.

IMO the 1000HE will fit your needs. Recognize that MS Office is not included, so you will have to compromise and use Star Office, unless you have the ability to add Office on your own. As long as you are using Word 2003 or earlier, Star Office is a viable solution.As to buyers remorse, so far the device has met and exceeded my expectations, considering its price-point compared to "competing" netbooks. While 9 hours of battery time seems like a far-fetched claim, I'm perfectly happy with the 7 hours or so I seem to be getting.My only criticism has been the sound quality from the speakers. Turning on the Dolby helps, but at best the audio is mediocre. IMO the 1000HE will fit your needs.

You will be more than happy. This machine's battery life alone is reason to plunk down. No more leaving the coffee shop because you couldn't find an open outlet to plug into. Keep it in power save mode and enjoy the 8 hours.

DAB, It's really easy to say that about anything... It's an opinion. I've used every machine you've posted and feel the 1000he was the best choice. I couldn't stand the NC10's mouse trackpad (way too small) and found the right shift key on the 1000he fine. The function key on the right side of the 1000he is also a HUGE plus. Add in the longer battery life and slightly better CPU (not a huge deal, but still a plus) the 1000he fares better... especially when I got the 1000he for more than $100 LESS than the NC10.

I think you only have to look at the reviews to see if people have buyers remorse. And from the looks of it, most people do not. Including me, I love this little netbook. Would not trade it for any other brand. And I'm very happy I bought it two weeks ago when the price was lower.
97394
I don't regret this purchase for one minute. I love the matte finish screen. The speakers are "OK" but I didn't buy a little netbook for the audio quality so to me it's not a major issue. I've compared it some other brands that my friends have (Acer, Dell, Samsung, Sony) and I would take mine over theirs in a heartbeat. If it got lost, stolen, or broken, I would replace it with the exact same netbook.

I have the E4, and a friend who wanted one like mine ended up with the E5 as it was only $6 more. All the features are the same. They are both working great months (mine 7, his 3 or 4) later. Unfortunately the only device we have in common is the phone, and his laptop is even a smaller screen, so we really can't tell if the extra 2000 makes much difference.

Thats basically what I did. I already had one of their products. I Decided to Upgrade. Totally worth it.

John- Their software updates helped, so the newer units aren't too bad compared to the first generation. I'm still looking forward to the next round of software upgrades though!

I don't blame you for wanting to return it. Maybe return it and wait a few months, see if it improves.There are supposed to be "fixes" for WiFi, MySB, alarms, etc... in the just released SBS 7.4.2, but who knows.For audio quality I'd take the Boom any day! :)As for my Radio, it *never* loses connection to my WiFi (RED indicator), but I do get the occasional BLUE indicator (loses connection to MySB).My main issue is the "looks like it's playing but it is not" problem. Even then it is not as often as others have reported, for me anyway.I'm also running 7.5 beta and 7.4.2 beta so that may be why I don't have as many issues with the Radio as others, hard to say.

Hi Evelyn, I suspect you'll get a lot of feedback which is great. Here's my .02. Since you haven't purchased yet I'd suggest you go with the HE. Reasoning. For only a few dollars more it comes with Bluetooth built in and is also compatible with Wi-Fi N (which the HA is not). While it's difficult to find an N system right now it may eventually catch on and you want all the web surfing speed you can get right? Bluetooth allows you to transmit music or even phone calls to a headset. If you're on a plane or just relaxing you're free of any wired connection to the computer. Yes, you can buy a little Bluetooth nub (I have one on my HA) for $20 or so but The HE has it built in. The HE processor is just a nudge faster. Reviews I've read so far indicate the additional speed isn't noticeable to the casual user but again, anytime you can get a faster processor and front end for roughly the same price give it serious consideration. And then there's the keyboard. While I haven't seen it my understanding is the HE is an improvement over the keyboard on the HA. Many users have modified the HA keyboard (it's extremely simple) but if Asus has heard the complaints about having an arrow key where the caps key 'should' be and fixed the problem then why not take advantage? The HE is also (apparently) a little slimmer and an ounce or two lighter even though battery life is improved. While I wouldn't suggest someone who's already invested in an HA dump the old machine for the new one, I'd strongly recommend someone starting from scratch give the HE a close look. Cheers

Baylink...Sorry 'bout that. I didn't know that I had to "Join" anything as this is my first ever "Forum" . I'm surprised they used my name instead of just my sign in handle or, beginning of my email address.So, bottom line is; if I get the extended batter it will NO longer fit in my current Bestbuy holster. Correct?So, would you recommend I just purchase an additional stock battery to keep as a spare. After not having a holster for the first 3 weeks of owning the phone, I really like the holster.I'll try to send this one only once :}Thanx for your reply...Larry Baylink...Sorry 'bout that.

Its actually a really great tablet & I hope HP does make the 7" touchpads & keep WebOS alive.They wont have to worry about customers like you complaining since you wont buy from them anymore.Buying new products is always a risk. .....and HP did great with the refunds & free apps gifts.

Colonel Keds makes some very good points. I agree with most everything this person says.So flame all you want folks. He makes good sense. Let the manufacturer have it if they do not support their product faithfully.Whether you have it or not you can still give good insight into what is happening. As long as you stick to the facts of your experience.I want to know the whole story from ordering to receiving to using. Wouldn't you all like that too?

Depends on the seller you choose to make your purchase from. My seller, when we had trouble with our cellphone, asked us to return it (we live in the Caribbean, so it would have been too expensive for us and not worth it). I strongly suggest that you contact your seller and clarify everything first. Be very careful. I bought from a seller with a very good feedback and with lots of sales to back up that, but it turned out that our cellphone was a refurbished one, after all... Read as many feedbacks as you can; among all the great feedbacks our seller has, we found (late, of course) that there were some buyers that had the same trouble with their cellphones as us.

M. Masloub, how in the world did you have them match at that price? I don't have a Fry's here in GA, but that would be a killer price.

I know for a fact that the 4066 has the glossy screen. Does the 4065 have a glossy screen also? or is it the dulled non-glossed screen? The demo at best buy of the 4066 with blu-ray'd "Open Season" the visuals are absolutely amazing, but when the screen goes dark.. wham there's my reflection.. So I was just curious. Anyone know? M.

Unfortunately I did not. I think I am going to pick one up anyway. Everyone I have talked to has regretted going the entry level route then being forced to upgrade later.

Hi, I only have experiencce with the "performance" model. Unfortunately I sold it six months later during a temporary money crunch. I can't advise you on your specific question, but I will say "Damn I wish I had it back!" It was effective in maintaining my form during a time I couldn't work out.

Well... the word better is subjective as your personal taste in what you feel or experience when you use this types of devices is different for each individual. I cant compare them to the SE535 as I have never used them before. I can just say that the SE846 are out of this world and I have been blown away. Maybe try to locate a store that have both in stock and give them a try. Good luck in your decision.
