ASUS Revamps the Best Selling Eee PC 1000HA with New Chiclet Keyboard

ASUS, a world leader in the mobile technologies, has updated its best-selling Eee PC™ 1000HA with an all-new chiclet-style keyboard that improves overall comfort and allows touch-typists to type at full-speed on its 92% keyboard. The chiclet keyboard design improves comfort by separating the keys from one another instead of using an edge-to-edge design that is common on today’s mini notebook and notebook keyboards.

In addition to its new keyboard, the Eee PC 1000HA has an extended battery life up to 7 hours, thanks to three main ingredients: ASUS’ exclusive Super Hybrid Engine (SHE), an Intel® Atom™ processor, and an LED-backlit display. SHE allows users to make power consumption adjustments to suit their tasks at hand, resulting in a reduction of power expenditure by up to 15%*. The Intel Atom processor powering the Eee PC 1000HA is highly energy efficient, conserving battery power while still providing more-than-ample processing capabilities on-the-go. Finally, the Eee PC 1000HA’s 10-inch LED-backlit WSVGA display utilizes less power than conventional LCD screens, yet is capable of delivering amazing clarity, brightness and comfort for photograph and movie viewing, as well as Internet browsing.

In addition to its spacious 160GB of internal storage, the Eee PC 1000HA also includes 10GB of Eee online storage, which is accessible to anyone with an Internet connection so the most important files are available any time, any where. Users can also use it to share files, letting friends and family download files from the Eee online account quickly and easily.

The Eee PC 1000HA is available immediately from leading retailers and E-tailers for an introductory MSRP of $349 USD.

* PC World Magazine does not offer an Editor’s Choice award but has designated the Eee PC 1000HE as the “Best Buy” product in its category.
