I think the MSI wind is going to win the deathmatch…the 1000H has the little tiny shift to the right of the up arrow, I like big right side shift keys like you.

I dropped a 2GB ram stick and a 64GB OCZ SSD into the 1000H (Asus really did it right with this unit as far as making things user-accessible and upgradable), and for less than $900 net have a lovely machine.

I didn’t think so initially, but now that I’ve had the 1000H for a while, I find the multitouch trackpad to be indespensible.

Screen is bright as hell too; I have mine set on 2 notches from the bottom and it’s plenty bright.

5+ hours of usable life with wifi on.

Me like.

I considered the 1000H and the Wind, but when BestBuy started stocking the Aspire One 120gb units, I just couldn’t justify spending $200 more for either, especially when I was able to pick up a second Aspire One for the wife. Anytime I can get her to use another mobile device is a win in my book. I will be getting the 6-cell for the Aspire One when it is out, but for right now this machine blows my ex-HP tx2510 away in terms of usability and portability. I may just be biased against Vista though.

PS. I just got the Asus 1000h yesterday, and I couldn’t get it back from my wife! It is definitely a cool little computer and it definitely feels faster than my corp. laptop.

Amazon finally hit the $329 price point on the Acer Aspire One 8GB, about 48 hours too late for me to get my $50 back…

They got some of the 120GB’s in stock yesterday but are sold out again today.

I’m seriously thinking about grabbing the 160GB with 6 cell battery and tossing one of the 2.5″ SATA 6 SDHC card SSD adaptors into it when Amazon gets it in. I’ve been pretty impressed with the 8GB but it doesn’t have the connector for the SATA drive.
