With their proliferation and popularity, virtually every household now possesses one or more digital cameras. Their accessibility and user-friendly technology enables everyone to take picture perfect frames with ease, without the necessity of a dark room or photo lab for developing images.

What’s more, modern cameras have become much more than simply a device with which you capture an image.

1000HE – the first mini laptops available to use the new N280 version of Intel’s Atom processor.

The other notable feature of the Eee PC 1000HE is its keyboard – large, well-spaced keys almost as large as those on a standard keyboard. Asus has equipped the system with a standard array of ports. To the left is an Ethernet and USB port plus audio jack sockets, as well as a slot for a security cable. The right side has two further USB ports, a VGA output for an external monitor, and a slot for SD Card Flash storage. The system has 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless communications, but no option for a 3G modem for go-anywhere connectivity, as there is on some other netbooks. A 1.3-megapixel camera is fitted above the screen for web conferencing.
