Both do very light 12" machines that are arguably netbooks (no optical drive, Intel Atom or Via processors, XP Home). Netbooks are a very personal choice, check out hands on before committing.
ASUS 1000HE available?
by not-a-clue - 7/11/09 4:21 PM In reply to: Need help deciding on a netbook by vladaman1If you can get your hands on a ASUS 1000HE that is the thing to do. I purchased with a 1GB Memory upgrade, making it 2GB total system memory and couldn't be happier. When I travel it is much more convenient and has all the horsepower I need to do my work and surf the Internet. I am not a gamer and wouldn't attempt to play anything but hearts, card games, chess etc. But the ASUS 1000HE is a solid performer for the money! I would recommend it to anyone.
I chose the HP 1030 NR ...

I got a great discount at a Circuit City store during the company's last week, then ordered a 2 gb memory module from CyberGuys on the web for about $25 and boy, is it fast on IE 8. Best of all, HP's netbooks keep the keyboard at 92% of the size of a regular keyboard, so keying is a breeze. It's my steady companion at Starbucks.
Good Choice
by bobbenedetti - 7/12/09 10:05 AM In reply to: Need help deciding on a netbook by vladaman1I see you decided to go for the 1000HA. Good choice..performance for all the notebooks is pretty much the same..some may do better on one benchmark or the other but nothing that you would really notice in real world use.
The best performance boost you can get from a netbook is to increase the memory and that is much easier to do on the Asus..just open a door on the bottom and upgrade to a 2GB SODIMM (about $30CAN)
Do that to your HA and it will leave any HE in the dust on most real world uses.
