ASUS is viewed by many as the father of the netbook. It was the first company to release a small, cheap notebook for consumers that quickly spawned a new category in the computer market. Netbooks have done very well with the current financial crisis around the world.

ASUS has announced its latest netbook called the ASUS Eee 1000HE. The 1000HE is billed as the first netbook in the industry to feature the Intel N280 Atom CPU. The performance of the N280 is only slightly better than the N270 it replaces, but the CPU promises to help extend battery life by being more power efficient than its predecessor.
