Default Asus Eee PC 1000HE has Great Bang for the Buck

http://www.notebooks.com/2009/02/13...ce-on-netbooks/

"Asus’ second generation netbook Eee PC 1000HE changes everything by offering all the high-end features for less than $400. It dispenses with the thick protruding 6-cell batteries of old with a flush 6-cell high capacity battery that can stretch beyond 9.5 hours when operating in “airplane mode” with all the wireless features turned off and the screen dimmed to 40% brightness. It not only offers integrated Bluetooth, but also 802.11n wireless networking. Instead of a small solid state hard drive, the 1000HE includes a 160 GB 5400 RPM hard drive. Instead of a dinky 0.3 megapixel webcam, a 1.3 megapixel webcam is included. It uses an N280 processor which is 60 MHz faster than the N270 and has a 2 watt TDP instead of 2.5 watts for the N270."

This is a minor upgrade to the Eee 1000HA which I recently purchased.  For basically the same price as the 1000HA was about a month ago, you pick up an extra 2.5 hours of battery life (sweet), Bluetooth, and 802.11n.  Not bad, not bad at all.
