    ASUS Eee PC 1000HE in HK?

    Anyone spotted the ASUS Eee PC 1000HE in Hong Kong?

    Considering buying a netbook over the next month or so - would appreciate any recommendations you might have other than the ASUS EEE PC.

    Don't want to spend more than HK$ 3400...

    I think engadget et al are reporting that the Acer ONE is selling better than Asus.

    pin - something basic and lightweight. Have seen some good reviews for the Samsung. Will wander down to 298 and see if I can find something in my budget.

    Samsung NC10 would be my pick at the moment.

    Good size keyboard however the mouse pad area is a little small.

    Last time I checked only the XP (simplified Chinese) version was the only model available in HKG. I also think the NC10 could be outside you budget. Think it was about $4000.

    Some considerations

    1. Screen size
    2. Battery life
    3. Storage SSD or HDD
    4. Operating system
    5. Size & weight

    Last time I was in a computer centre I saw vendors trying to sell off the old Asus 900 cheap. This model has issues with the battery discharge so I would avoid regardless of price.

    The EEE PC is $349 on Amazon ( 404 Looking for Something? ). Way too much price difference here ..

    Available in WCC, both with English and Chinese XP (didn't inquire about Linux).
