[plug] Asus Eee PC 1000H

[Adam Hewitt]

Hi All,

My cousin is looking at getting one of these for his uni bound wife
for christmas. Looking at the comparison charts on the asus website
this still appears to be the best value for money, even if they did
remove any hardware benefits from going with the Linux version. Is
this still the consensus amongst the linux crowds (even in comparison
to the Dell 9 or the MSI Wind or whatever)?

And on that note, does anyone know where to go about purchasing one at
this late stage of the festive season purchasing frenzy? Office works
have a model they call 1000XPH which seems to be the 1000H with Xp
installed, however it also says it has an 80GB HDD whilst the Asus
site states it should have a 160GB HDD.

Thanks,

Adam.
