Eee PC 1000HD: The mix-and-match continues

Darius Chang | Jul 23, 2008

The maker which brought you the Eee PC 701, Eee PC 900, Eee PC 901, Eee PC 904HD, Eee PC 1000 and Eee PC 1000H in the space of seven months now, has another trick up its sleeve.

If you just love the size and ample screen of the Eee PC 1000 series but want to retain a little old-school charm in your devices, the Eee PC 1000HD is just right for you. Who needs SSD anyway? An 80GB harddisk has much larger storage and gives added heft for security. Moreover, gambling with data security after dropping a laptop is a time-honored tradition.

The Eee PC 1000HD doesn't care for the performance and battery life of the Atom chip. No siree. Buying surplus is the way to go and this Eee PC is more than happy with the 900MHz Celeron processor found on the pioneering version.

If these qualities give you a tingle inside, then keep an eye on this space. We've checked with ASUS regarding price and Asia availability and should be hearing from them soon.
