Flaws of the Asus Eee PC 1000HE 10-inch Netbook

One of the biggest selling points of the Asus Eee PC 1000HE 10-inch netbook is its amazing 9.5 hours of battery life. Although I have no complaints about this, the extended battery life does come at the price. The battery on this new model is heavier than previous models. It is so heavy that it causes an uneven distribution on weight throughout the netbook (may not be a big flaw but a flaw nonetheless).

The design of the Asus Eee PC 1000HE 10-inch netbook could also be improved. The Eee PC series may be a great little notebook in terms of features and performance but one can't help but to wonder if the manufactures even tried to make it look pretty. To put it simply, it looks fat. It lacks the sleek and elegant designs found on competing models such as the Acer Aspire One of the Samsung NC10. The glossy casing is also a fingerprint magnet.

The Asus Eee PC 1000HE 10-inch netbook does not ship with an anti-virus software installed. This is pretty dangerous, as most users would assume that every netbook would come with one. The fan noise can be occasionally loud and it gets pretty warm after a few hours of use. The keyboard seems a little flimsy compared to other models in the market.

Another major flaw with the Asus Eee PC 1000HE 10-inch netbook (or rather the company) is its customer support. To cut a long story short, the front-line customer service reps don't seems to know much and it is very likely that you will be transferred to a few persons before you find your solution.

Although there are a couple of flaws with this netbooks, I must say that the Asus Eee PC 1000HE 10-inch netbook is one currently still one of the best models in the market (it terms of specs and performance). This model remains to be a good choice if you are looking for a netbook that has a great battery life and powerful specs.
