LATEST NEWS: The full review of the 900HA, the successor of the 900, can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASi_LvtvPAM .
=========================================
Review of the Asus EEE PC 900 mini-notebook from my dining room table.
The Ubuntu-EEE screenshots you see in the video are actually from the Ubuntu-EEE Live CD. I did install and thoroughly test Ubuntu-EEE for my review, but had already installed Windows 2000 when I realized I had completely forgotten to record any screenshots of the Ubuntu installation.
I can be such a n00b sometimes… 
To install Windows 2000, you’ll have to create a new installation disc with the nLite utility available at http://www.nliteos.com . You’ll need to include the latest Windows 2000 Service Pack and the drivers from the EEE PC 900’s Windows XP driver disc, otherwise the Windows 2000 installation will fail to start.
One of the best tweaks you can perform under Windows is to move the swap file from the primary to the secondary solid-state drive. You’ll have more room for your applications, and there will be fewer read/write accesses to the primary drive.
A correction. One of the sample clips was mistakenly credited as “The Next Great Canadian Prime Minister. The title is actually “Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister”, which you can find at http://www.cbc.ca/nextprimeminister .

Review of the Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook computer from my dining room table. Includes a comparison with the 900HA.
The review of the 900HA can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASi_LvtvPAM .
A note about the 8.9″ models being discontinued. After reading many contradictory reports, it appears Asus is NOT discontinuing the 8.9″ models. However, the 8.9″ size will eventually be marketed to developing nations and to the industry sector. So even though the 8.9″ Asus netbook size should still be available for a while, It could still become no longer available in your area.
A couple of technical rants. First, I’m not happy with the sound quality of my narration. I’ve been experimenting with different settings on my mixer during the last few videos, and have discovered that YouTube’s audio converters tend to occasionally over-emphasize the low end. So even if my voice sounds perfectly all right on my copy of this video (including the slight emphasis I’ve added to the low end), YouTube’s encoder pushed it a bit too close to Isaac Hayes territory. And it’s also distorted!
Second, even though my YouTube video has nearly all of the contrast and detail from the original video, the frame rate is all over the place! I’ve been uploading 960×540 resolution XviD encoded material as a test. This format preserves the most detail from the original 1440×1080i HDV material, but with none of the deinterlacing issues (combing, softness, low contrast). Add to this the microprocessor friendly nature of the 960×540 resolution format, and I don’t need to create different formats for different computers. This quarter-HD format solved so many problems at once.
Unfortunately, YouTube doesn’t appear to know how to handle the 960×540 format very well. The contrast and detail are there, but the frame rate is all screwed up, making the video appear as a slideshow at times.
While I’ve just about figured out how to extract the maximum quality and compatibility out of my own videos, I still haven’t figured out YouTube’s exact needs. And it’s starting to drive me nuts! Their own help section on submitting videos is not much help at all! How difficult can it be for them to tell us EXACTLY what their encoders need to be fed for the resulting video to come out right? Come on YouTube! Throw us a bone here!
If this keeps up, the automated broadcast system I’m building for my conventional television channel will have better real-time capabilities than YouTube could have ever hoped for on their own Web site! And while we’re at it, why is it we still can’t update an existing video with a newer one without having to delete and re-add it, and losing the original link in the process? It would be nice to submit the occasional upgrade, especially when technological improvements are introduced, making everything look better.
My rant’s over. I’m feeling better now.

Review of the Asus Eee PC 900HA netbook from my dining room table.
BREAKING NEWS – MAY 5 2009
The review of the Eee PC 1000HE has just been posted. You’ll find it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50KWkKkTrQk . Now you have a choice between two different form factors.
SHOW NOTES
The boot time of a minute and a half is the time it takes for a fully loaded Windows installation to become usable. The time it takes for the desktop to appear on a fresh install with no software installed yet and the Quick Boot BIOS option activated is 30 seconds.
There have been reports of “grain” on the screen. This is a result of the anti-glare coating on the screen.
If after adjusting the color correction you still find the screen to be a bit too blue, try setting the red’s gamma to 1.1.

Here are my impressions/opinions on the newest Aspire One Netbook. It’s the first 11.6″ netbook and comes with the atom Z520 1.33ghz chip and GMA 500. I kept forgetting to mention things, so you’ll find this review to be very unorganized and a bit random.
