Best Buy currently have two Asus netbook deals, but are a little shy with one. The Asus Eee PC 1000HEB is listed as $350 and doesn’t say that the netbook usually retails for $400. The Asus Eee PC 1000HD is clearly on sale though, with a huge $130 discount. Both netbooks usually retail for $400 and feature a 10 inch screen, 1GB of RAM. The 1000HD comes with 40GB more storage, totalling at 160GB and also features the latest processor, Intel Atom N280, where as the 1000HEB features the lesser speced Celeron processor.

At Tiger Direct, you can pick up a refurbished 8.9 inch Acer Aspire One for $240, where as brand new it’ll set you back $300. One draw back on the saving is that the refurbished models only come with a 3 month warranty. An extended warranty can be purchased at cost, but it drives the price up much higher than a brand new one.

The Asus EEE PC 1000 is a new netbook on the market, and Asus has taken their experience in the netbook field and created a modern, performance-competitive, economical netbook for all users. First thing I noticed was the 40 GB Hard Disk Space, cleverly designed with two hard drives (8 GB and 32 GB), with the latter being a Secure Digital High Capacity drive making it remarkably safe, especially by netbook standards. The next thing to catch my attention was the screen. With its formidable 10 inch size, it had beautiful color, could render up to 1024 x 600 resolution and was viewable from any angle. This made its visual appeal excellent as a netbook.

Of course, when savvy computer users hear about good graphics they think of the battery life. Well this netbook comes adapted to battery conservation when necessary. It’s excellently designed keyboard includes buttons to quickly modify graphics and processor usage settings to adjust to the minimal battery consumption possible when power is critical. The battery itself has a maximum life of 7.5 hours as stated by the manufacturers.

Finally, it wouldn’t be a netbook without net so it has built-in bluetooth and wifi, as well as Skype ready webcam and microphone. The  Asus EEE PC 1000’s expansive feature set and power efficiency make it perfect for the on-the-go user, business or personal.
