Asus Eee PC 1000H


My amazing wife got me one of these cool new netbooks as a gift for our five year anniversary. This little wonder is amazingly portable, sports 1GB of RAM, 160GB HD, 3 USB ports, 802.11n WIFI, Bluetooth, and a 1024x600 widescreen display. A perfect companion for the road, and much more portable than my Dell XPS M1730 monster :^)

Installing the latest Windows 7 Beta 1 went very well on this netbook. All drivers, except the network drivers were installed. You can install the wired and wireless network drivers by using the support CD. The trick is to run the setup on the support CD in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode. After doing that, you'll have no issues installing the network drivers. Note, that I could not get TrendMicro Internet Security 2009 to work on this setup. I recommend trying AVG instead.
