Small Wonder Grows Up

With the Asus Eee 1000H network PC sporting a 10-inch screen and wide keyboard,the game-changing laptop is ready to play with the big boys,feels Peter Svensson.
when Taiwan's ASustek brought out the Eee PC last year,it created a whole new category of tiny,cheap laptops.But despite its success, the compute had one confounding element:Its keyboard was really good for kids ,may be but not for adults.
Now,Asus has expanded its line with laptops that are just big enough for a full size touch-typist,and at least one of the models hits a sweet spot,keeping weight and price low while providing great features and battery life.In fact ,it compares well with laptops that are three or four times the price.
I tested the 10-inch screen Eee PC 1000h -which retails in India for Rs.29,990.The first Eee PC model had 7-inch screens which went for Rs.18000.
While the new model is substantially bigger and more like "real" laptop,its still terrifically portable,weighing in at 1.4Ks.That's the same weight as the vaunted macBook Air,Which Apple Inc calls the thinnest laptop ever.
So to whom want to by laptop this is great choice for them.
