The new models score over first-gen EEE PC models with a better processor, bigger storage with HDD instead of SSD, Windows XP Home, one GB RAM, larger screen-keyboard-touchpad, better WiFi chips, built-in webcam and 6-cell batteries.
After having launched the first generation ASUS Eee PC in January, ASUS has come out with the second generation EEE PC models - 904HD and 1000H - in India. The ASUS Eee PC 904H and 1000H netbooks are priced at Rs. 26,900 and Rs. 29,990 respectively. Both netbooks will be available through major retail outlets.
The second generation has refreshed versions of both hardware and software, for basic computing and Internet-related tasks like web-browsing, emails, chat, VoIP, social networking, etc.
Said Benson Lin, General Manager for Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, "We found that Indian users would like to have big capacity hard drive after selling over 10000 first-gen EEE PCs so far. Hence we worked on strategy to roll out second-gen EEE PC models carrying hard drives in place of solid state drives (SSDs). Our targets are any normal user looking forward to buy a basic computing system that is portable, powerful, light and of course, low-priced."
Stanley Wu, Product Manager, Notebooks and EEE PC for ASUS India= In India- like everywhere else- IT IS ABOUT MONEY-Honey- MSI wind with a price of 23k plus VAT will eat The new EEE PC 1000H model for lunch in Indian market. Like USA, even in India Asus will have to lower the exorbitant prices of 2nd Gen Eee PC.

What a stupid article! Scores over older EEEpc because of Windoze XP Home edition? It's A PREHISTORIC OS FROM YESTERYEARS. Linux is FAR better and would have brought down the cost of this device and also given users freedom from stupid things like Viruses!

@Linuxfan, before degrading the article, let me quote what the article says "Also these new models score over first-gen EEE PC models with a better processor, bigger storage with HDD instead of SSD, Windows XP Home, one GB RAM, larger screen-keyboard-touchpad, better WiFi chips, built-in webcam and 6-cell batteries.". So why pick only the Windows XP bit? In any case you still have the older versions if you're so keen on Linux.

I agree with LinuxFan. Why even bother with Windows on smaller devices, esply when cost is a factor (besides performance, where W$ doesn't fare great eaither). Windows will be history soon anyways...

If you've read the article properly, then note that Asus plans to roll out Linux versions in future. So wait patiently.

I have been waiting for the 1000H model for months. Got hold of it a few days ago - it's a truly convenient mobile laptop. At this price, it's almost for free. I'm enjoying my freedom now. Regards, Lime GreenerMe.com

The configuration seems very nice, however, in 29000 + TAX we have an option of other full laptops from Compaq, Lenovo with almost same of higher config. Good for travelers, thought!
