Good choice. My 1000HE has officially become my all day - everyday computer while the towers and other laptops are only powered on when I need a bigger screen or a bit more processing power.
I've seen a few reports and those ION gpus look promising but you'd be surprised what you can get from the 1000HE if you care enough to try. I've overclocked past 2.0 GHZ and am currently testing to see how far and long I can underclock to get more battery life out of it....
Don't buy one from Best Buy. For some reason they only sell scaled down models with slower processors, no bluetooth and much less battery life.
