I am thinking about buying the eee asus 1000he to use for college.
It would Only be used for research and Microsoft office.
So besides Anti-Virus software, it would only have those necessary things installed.
Would it be able to run efficiently for college life?
I'll be investing in a thumb drive as well so hardly any of the documents would be save on it.
What I'm worried about most is Powerpoint; I don't know how intense that would be for such a low-end computer.
If this is the wrong board, I'm sorry.![]()

Office is not very demanding in general use. No issues on netbooks.

A netbook can run MS office word, excel (without complex scripts and macros), powerpoint (without excessive amount of animated flash, hi-res videos, too many animations going at once), access (bareley runs), publisher and all other programs. It's more than enough for casual college work.
A regular netbook with HDD can also handle everything from Adobe. E.g. photoshop, after effects, premiere pro..etc. You can also run 3d programs such as maya 2009, autocad as well as play lowbit rate 1080P hi-def videos. -
I have the program on my Asus eeePC 1000h and it runs well. I also have others including CS4.

itll run good on a netbook, especially if you install office 2007 and then install service pack 2 also. sp2 speeds office office dramatically.

It would run just fine - on my old laptop (with the 1.6GHz single-core AMD Turion 64 and 1.25GB of RAM), all the applications ran well.

If a notebook doesn't run Office, then it probably won't run even Firefox.
As jackluo923 pointed out above it will run all Adobe programs and SOME 3D ones without extensive 3D modeling (don't even think about 3ds MAX - you'll need something with much more horse power).
Would Microsoft Office 2007 Work on a Netbook?
