MY FIRST LAPTOP
This is my very first laptop-or netbook-or mini-laptop. I did alot of research before purchase. My needs were simple. Small enough 2 take along that doesen't weigh you down, but with a screen big enough 2 see comfortably. I was originally looking 4 a kimble reading device--decided a small computer would be more versatile 4 the same money, & it is. I was also originally looking at its smaller brother- the 7 inch screen- but then found this 10 inch big brother. Perfect 4 my needs & gives a whole screen shot. I have the larger 6 cell battery that doesn't really give you 7 hrs of time, more realistically 4-5. It reads e-books just like a sony or kimble, but can do everything a laptop can do as well, just a little bit bigger. Not as powerful or as fast as a big laptop, but suits my needs 2 pick up e-mail, surf the net, research, plays music & videos,the speaker is not bad 4 a little thing, but 4 great sound just plug in headphones. Not a loud fan. I don't even notice it & I'm bothered by ticking clocks,and sounds like that in the background. The one I have has 80 gigabytes of hard drive, bluetooth & wireless wifi which works off my husbands wireless modem & public wifi. I have had this 4 2 months, & have only used less than 40 gigs of memory. You can add an external Hard drive. The only drawback is no slot 4 cd or dvd. You can get an external one though.
I'm very happy with my purchase. No regrets.
5 stars*****---not 2**

I picked this up 4 a friend & nearly kept it 4 myself. I'd rather run something other than the OS that is on it, but 4 most people XP Home edition is perfectly fine. In fact many prefer its familiarity & efficiency over Vista Home edition.
There are three minor issues:
1) the reduced size keyboard means a shift key is in an odd spot
2) the touchpad proximity means that you'll want 2 use a mouse most often & disable the touchpad
3) the reduced height screen makes some applications a little difficult 2 use
But these are really minor issues when you consider how inexpensive the PC 1000H is & how lightweight it is. Not too long ago you could pay a very high premium 4 a laptop that weighs just two pounds.
The battery life & performance are excellent. You might think that you are only going 2 get a couple of hours from such a small unit but it will run all day on one charge.
