Asus Eee PC 1000HD For $498 On Catch Of The Day
We’ve told you about Eee PC deals before, but they were generally the smaller screen models. Catch of the Day today have the 1000HD Eee PC, which has an RRP of $699, for just $498 plus shipping.
Inside you get an 80GB hard drive, Windows XP, and a six-cell battery. It doesn’t have one of the newer Atom processors, instead running off an Intel Dothan 353 chip at 900MHz.
There’s also 1GB RAM, webcam and wi-fi built-in. If you’re after a mini-note, this is a great deal.

900mhz is a tad slow though!
Dammit, now I wish I hadn’t gotten two of the 701s from the last deal! Why must you torture me so, Gizmodo? WHYYY?!
Performance is comparable to the Atom in the confusingly similar 1000H. Real differences 802.11g rather than 802.11n and shorter battery life due to less efficient processor. I believe the bottom case is somewhat hotter for the same reason. But at this price I’ll snap one up in the morning! Oh and shipping is free if you use paypal.
@ Anthony: From what I’ve read it’s not really about the mhz. The CPU’s perform fairly similarly (Atom vs Dothan). The main difference you’ll get a lot more battery life from the Atom.
