"The Eee PC 1000 is a very interesting product, especially to someone like me who still uses the original Eee PC 701 regularly, but the issue with it is that Asus are obviously struggling on ways to upgrade the older models without losing the focus on web browsing and general office tasks.

Still, the sneaking suspicion remains that Asus have somehow failed to offer anything truly, greatly new with the new Eee 1000 and the impact it's made on us is definitely less than that made by the first sightings of the Eee PC 701. Maybe we're just getting old, twisted and cynical."
