I mentioned that Asus had unveiled its latest Eee netbook called the 1000HE earlier this week. Laptop Magazine already has its hands on the 1000HE and is offering up some early insights into the product. The early determination is that the 1000HE is one of the best netbooks ever from Asus.

The machine has the same exact chassis that the 1000H uses and features the same lid and port placement. The major difference is the keyboard, which Laptop says feels sturdier and has a better key placement.

The other big upgrade is the N280 Atom CPU, which Laptop says offers no noticeable improvement in day-to-day operations. That is no surprise; Intel isn’t keen on making netbooks perform better. Intel and other computer makers would prefer to see us using more expensive and higher-performance notebooks.
