At Gadget Lab we were eager to get our hands on the latest netbook from Asus — the Eee PC 1000HE. Here's a snippet of what I had to say about it:

Asus basically invented the netbook, so it didn't surprise us when the company's latest Eee PC opened a can of whoop-ass on its competitors.

From the outside, the 1000HE doesn't look much different from other models in the diminutive Eee line. But it's the machine's heart — the brand new 1.66-GHz Atom N280 processor — that makes it faster, stronger, smarter than its opponents.

Price: $400 (as tested)
