The drive is partitioned into two 40GB sections and didn't slow down the usually speedy Eee PC boot time; the H was ready to go in a pretty quick 40 seconds. We couldn't run our usual PC Mark05 test on the system, but in our hands-on experience, the H was snappy. FireFox and Windows Media Player opened quickly, and we saw no performance hit when we conducted video calls over Skype, surfed the Web, and streamed music.
One of the biggest selling points of the Atom processor is the ability to provide lots of endurance, at least when paired with a nice sized battery.

Unfortunately, it runs partly even without noteworthy load and then it's even very much annoyingly audible. The offered battery life could convince for that, though. With a power socket independence of 4 — 5 hours , the netbook allows an extensive mobile use.
The Asus Eee H is as before an inevitable purchase option for friends of netbooks and for those who want to become that. The competitors might be well-positioned with numerous models, but in view of value for money ratio the Eee H is still a hard nut to crack. Many thanks to Cyberport.
