Asus bumped up the size of its Eee PC netbooks in 2008 with the launch of models such as the 1000H and 1000HA. The two netbooks feature larger, 10-inch screens and share many other specifications, but differ in several key areas.

Hard Drive

1. The 1000H, with an initial list price of about $50 more than the 1000HA, is equipped with an 80-gigabyte hard drive. That's 80 GB less storage than offered on the 1000HA.

Bluetooth

2. Owners of the 1000H enjoy built-in Bluetooth capability, enabling use of devices such as a Bluetooth mouse. The 1000HA lacks Bluetooth support, although it can be added via a Bluetooth USB adapter.

Wireless

3. The 1000H provides support for wireless 802.11n as well as 802.11b/g. The 1000HA is limited to the slower wireless b/g, an especially important distinction for travelers who need the fastest-possible Internet connection on the road.

Shared Specifications

4. Both netbooks are equipped with 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processors, 1 GB of DDR2 memory or RAM, and a 1.3-megapixel webcam.
