The latest installment of Eee 1000 series has been a hot netbook to get since it was announced. The 1000HE is still showing as back-order or pre-order in many online retailers such as Amazon, J&R, and etc. However a posting from a user in EeeUser forum claimed that Asus has sent 1000HEs to etailers. Some users have even received the unit from eBay sellers.

Looking around the web, I’ve found ZipZoomFly has the 1000HE Black in stock. However, ZipZoomFly does not offer the instant $25 rebate on its end. If you can’t wait, the extra $25 might worth the extra green.

We’re trying out something new on SlashGear today. It’s called “Buy This, Not That” and with it we hope to focus in on two similar products and give you the lowdown on which is the better buy. You with us so far? Good, let’s dive right in.
