Laptop Magazine have published a review of the ASUS Eee PC 1000 (Linux). 'With a 10-inch screen and spacious keyboard, the $699 mini-notebook sports the same exact design as its sibling Eee PC 1000H ($549). But the Eee PC 1000 (note the lack of an H) isn’t just a copycat: its 40GB solid state drive—the biggest SSD in a mini-notebook to date—and ASUS’ customized version of Xandros Linux (now with more preloaded applications) make it faster and longer lasting. We just wish it cost a bit less

Similar to the Eee PC 901 and 1000H, the 1000 has an updated look and feel from earlier Eee PC models. The glossy black Fine Ebony lid is accented with the new Eee PC logo in cursive script. The improved silver hinge and black-on-silver combination completes the high-fashion look. Unlike the 901’s shiny white lid, the 1000 is not immune to fingerprints; ASUS includes a cloth for wiping down the system.'
