The screen size, battery life, weight and price all go up with the Eee PC 1000. Does that make it a big bargain, or just too big?

I bought a 1000H from NewEgg.com the first day it was available. The keyboard is very firm. I've noted lots of comments about a bendy, flexible keyboard. Apparently, Asus fixed that problem in early units sent to the U.S.

Re: fingerprints. This really bothers some reviewers. I agree. I'm returning my Corvette because fingerprints are visible on the door handles.

Anon - Asus did say this keyboard problem was only a problem with the review units, but I've heard of the same problem in shipping models of the Eee 900 and 901 (with users fixing it by putting strips of packing phone into the keyboard well) so it was an issue I wanted to cover.

Just got mine. Eee 1000HA (160Gb storage) Compared it to HP mini-note. HP has a better display and is much sleeker, but the Eee trumps it on battery longetvity, and OpenGL. I run planetarium software, wich I brought to the store on a USB drive, and tried on Aspire One, HP Mini Note, MSI Wind and Asus Eee. The MSI was lacking in storage (80Gb), The Acer had way too much pre-loaded crapware on it, wich slowed it down to a crawl. ( I did not fancy spending a whole day cleaning it up.) The HP was 160$ more yet not quite up to the job for OpenGL, unless I reduced the resolution, which defeats the purpose of a larger screen. I Feel the Eee 1000HA, in my case, was the best deal out there.
