This thread has gotten dated really fast. I went into my local Best Buy today and saw the 1000h for $379. Local sales tax is about 10%, but I can still buy the 1000h locally for less than any advertised eBay or web pricing.

Hi, I would like to know where to buy in the USA the Eeepc 1000H and the MSI Wind at a low price. Are both netbooks available now?

What’s keeping you from getting the XP version (great features, price) of the Wind, installing Linux on it, and eventually pushing it up to 2 G ram and 200+ HD, if thats what you want? Wind seems like an incredible deal to me, I hope to get one as soon as they become available.

A question for the gadget pros here:
We, as a company, plan to equip a school with a handful of netbooks. We are currently considering the MSI WIND, EEE 901 and eventually the Acer One.
So I have two questions, you may help me with:

1.) Which netbook has the most durable chassis in terms of build quality. I am not talking about SSD vs. HD oder niceness or form-factor, just which netbook doens’t wiggle, eek and squeezes?
2.) Which netbook has the best screen? Not in terms of size (we are talking kids here and 9″ is smaller than 10″ – we know, we know) but in terms of max brighness (sitting outside with the kids?), color reproduction – simply which one – regardless of size – made you happiest?

All the other information I was able to get from you articles – thanks again!

I think Asus have hit this whole thing right on the head. Brilliant work on their team to get all of these models released before the “coolness” of having a teeny laptop wears off. Think about it; as more people learn about their laptops, ASUS quickly release another more powerful and more expensive option – that is “better” than the others you saw – so you naturally want the “newer/better” one. So, as more people are interested, they sell more of the more expensive products. It’s really genius. And again, we will have bought up everything they had to sell us, way before we realize how boring they actually are or worst yet, how unreliable their hardware/software support is….

It doesn’t hurt that they also have a really hot/sexy product. Release the dam 1000 in the states already…no more blogs or reports on it…I WANT IT IN THE STORE SO I CAN BUY IT!!!

Guys, dont get too excited for the MSI Wind. After all, its NOT the same as the 901.

Here is my take:

MSI Wind: Linux Version $400; Windows version: $550.

# The Windows version comes with 1 GB of RAM; The linux version with 512 MB (too low)

# Its size is about 4 cm larger, 1 cm wider the weight is about 200-300g heavier than the eeePC901. Thats 30% heavier.

# No bluetoth for the Linux version (pfff)

# It has a mechanical HD for both versions. I rather go SSD for this type of netbooks. Everyone can put you a mechanical hard drive, not everyone can put you a 20 GB SSD on a netbook. Lots lots of differences here. We talking heating, mobility, battery life, etc.

# Battery for Linux is a 3 cells and Windows version 6 cells. 3 cells sucks really bad.

# I think the Linux version is way under powered and not worth it. The Windows version is better, but its only $50 cheaper than the 901, so I would rather stick with eeePC 901’s specs. The lighter, smaller, and SSD is worth the $50 difference.
