Asus no longer produce this netbook, but they have not forgotten their followers. Asus now have a Windows 7 upgrade guide for users with Windows XP or for those who may already have Windows 7 but are looking for further tips, guidelines and other “official” tidbits of information.

Asus recommend a BIOS upgrade first, then the installation of Windows 7, followed by some utilities and drivers and ends with information on the Super Hybrid Engine and the Asus Update software.

So give it a look see and find out what they have to say. Maybe you already know everything in the guide, but a thumbs up to Asus for still supporting the 1000H with user guides, updated drivers and utilities.

They show the installation process and various benchmarks showing the improved speeds.

If you’re looking to spruce up your 900A or are interested in reading a bit about SSDs, check it out!

The nettop will be bundled with a remote control, a stand, an IR adapter and a mini jack to S/PDIF adapter. For those wanting to save on desk space, there is also an optional VESA mount, and an optional HDMI-DVI adapter and HDMI cable for certain monitor set ups.

The Eee Box itself will have a card reader plus 2 USB ports on the front, as well as the previously mentioned optical drive, audio jacks and power button.

On the back is everything you have come to expect from an Eee Box (VGA and HDMI sockets, an ethernet jack, an eSATA port and four more USB ports) as well as a wireless antenna to give added range to the built-in 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi feature.

All these details and more is available for everyone to see and check out for themselves if they want. You can download the newly released manual at the Asus support website.

There are three things that distinguish it from the earlier model; The touch screen supports multitouch gestures, it is bundled with Windows 7 Home Premium and the SSD drive has been upgraded from 16GB to 32GB. It will also come with the Asus Eee Storage offer of 500GB of free online storage.

It can be pre-ordered through amazon for just $549 and is looking to be a very exciting little machine.

The Asus Eee PCs to be brought back into the spotlight include the Eee PC 1005HA, 1005HR, 1008HA, T91MT, 1101HA, 1201HA and the 1201N. That of course doesn’t include two nettops, four all-in-one PCs and two ultra thin and light laptops from Asus.

Most of the above models feature a common configuration of a 1.66Ghz processor, 1GB of system memory and 250GB of hard drive space. The above news suggests that any new needed drivers should be along very, very shortly and some users may already have the new updated software to increase stability and wrinkle out any quirks.

What are Eee Users most looking forward to with the stream of updated releases and new drivers?

It features a 1.6Ghz processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB to 32GB SSD storage, a built-in five inch 800 x 640 touch screen display, 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 and will run Windows. You will be able to use the built-in touch screen as a main display or, as intended, hook it up via VGA or wireless HDMI to an external monitor or display. It’s battery is predicted to get up to four hours of use between charges.

For those of you that find the above paragraph is old news, you might be happy to hear that the F.C.C. now has more information for us on this upcoming gem. It has now published a user manual and some photos so we have even more of an idea of what we’re in for here.

The Eee Keyboard was promised to us in the late October time frame, so perhaps Asus are simply gearing up for its release. What are you most looking forward to in the Eee Keyboard?

Now Asus have given us something special from that same netbook, it’s secrets. Yes, Asus have now published the Linux source code and shows us just what makes the Eee PC 1008HA tick. Could this be a hint that Asus might be releasing a version of the 1008HA that will come default with Moblin Linux instead of Windows?

If you select Linux as the operating system at the above link, there are five different files available to download. These five files are actually five parts to a larger download which comes to about 2.25GB.

So if you are brave and know all about compiling or just want to see what the Eee PC 1008HA source code looks like, take a look and see what you can find. It should be interesting at the very least.

wacou has written some instructions which are really handy for those wanting to remove the netbook’s casing and have a look at the system internals. The basic guidelines include; pop out the battery, undo some screws, open a few clips, remove the keyboard and some more screws. Then you will have access to all the internals of the machine.

However, this is not for the faint of heart and could void your warranty if you are not careful. But for the adventurous and the curious and those who just want to see what the insides of the 1005HA look like, it’s all yours. Remember to check out the forum thread for more information and further feedback.

The 1005HA will feature the Starter Edition, 1.66Ghz Atom N280, 10.1 inch 1024 x 600 screen, 250GB of disk space, 1GB of system memory and is expected to sell for around US$442.

The 1008HA will also feature the Starter Edition, the same screen size, amount of system memory, storage space and processor as the 1005HA above and is expected to fetch a price of US$590.

The 1101HA will offer Windows 7 Home Premium edition, a 11.6 inch 1366 x 768 screen, the Intel Atom Z520 processor at 1.33Ghz and 2GB of system memory which is expected to carry a price of US$590 as well.

The above prices are more likely to be different, and probably cheaper, once they hit U.S. shores.

Asus have also increased the amount of storage in their online Eee Storage offering. Initially Asus were offering 10GB for Eee users, now they have increased that to 500GB, which is a huge jump of 50x the original offering. So now Eee users have even more space for backups and online storage.

Asus already have a support page available for the Asus Eee PC T91MT, and we are expecting it to arrive sometime in October or November, obviously just in time to be pre-loaded with Windows 7. It will more than likely feature Windows 7 Home Premium, as there are missing features from Windows 7 Starter Edition which this new netbook will require, such as the multitouch feature which is fortunately featured in the Windows 7 Home Premium.

Though the only download at the moment for the Eee PC T91MT is a BIOS file, I’m sure many Eee Users will be anxiously awaiting a user manual to find out more about it.

We will keep you posted on any further developments on their touch screen line of the Asus Eee PCs.
