Windows Vista is still the order of the day for LG, like it or not. The EEE PC meanwhile, can run either Windows or Linux. (0 LG : 1 EEE)
The LG is lighter than the EEE PC 1000, which is impressive considering its size and chunky hard drive. (1 LG : 1 EEE)
It's ten-inch screen is the same size and resolution as that of the EEE PC 1000. That makes it small enough to fit in your bag, yet not so titchy that you'll need a prescription to read text on it. (DRAW)
You can cram 20,000 MP3s or more Word documents than you'll ever want on the 80GB drive. Same as that on the EEE PC 1000. (DRAW)
Wirelessly this is a dead heat with the EEE PC 1000 and the LG both having the fastest N standard Wi-Fi. The EEEs have three USB ports, however, whereas the LG only has two. (DRAW)
The Verdict
Both tied in points. But the LG is extremely light with a gigantic hard-drive, and if you can cope without Linux, this could be a genuine contender to the EEE PC 1000.
