do you use the eco saving power? lol. seems like no difference :s

You can set and save your own settings for the Eco Utility o...
Eco Utility is quite important when running on battery.

Generally,
Setting the display brightness to minimum, disabling the Wifi (If not using), muting the speakers (If not using) and disabling the optical drive (FN + tab) will help make the batteries last longer

My Qosmio F60 can last up to almost 3 hours max with everything set at minimum except for Wifi hehe

Well, there's the NB200, NB300 as well as the NB305.
Iirc, only the NB305 netbook is capable of supporting up to DDR3 RAM, even so, only very specific types of DDR3 RAMs can be used, if not the netbook won't start.
Unless you really like the looks of the Toshiba netbooks, perhaps its better to take a look at netbooks from other brands with slightly better performance

The next closest Toshiba notebook to a 10.1 inch netbook is the Portege T230/ T210 (older model), 11.6 inch @~RM2300 which is more powerful

hmm... then since ddr 3 so troublesome then i will stick back to ddr 2...
if other brand of network... which model and brand would you recommend?

coz Portege T230/ T210 --> 1.48 kg wor.... later plus all the accessory very heavy la...

others, sorry to off topic a little... thank you...

eeePC 1016P should be good

+1
Perhaps can take a look at HP minis too

yeah.. i thought of eepc also... but hp minis...?? i heard alot of people complain about HP... coz it rosak easily and the kena accused for sexual harassment .... hahaha...

Well, I've personally used HP minis before (Cool Uni pack 1)... they're not bad, but they're still netbooks nonetheless haha
If I'll ever get a netbook, I think I will buy based on the looks/designs since most of the specs are more or less the same and performance differences are also more or less negligible....

I just checked eeePC 1016P, it's really light and powerful...
about RM 1.5k ...

if you want cool... then should go for ipad lo... XD

I thought its RM 1.2-1.3K ?

coz i checked amazon shipping prize ma... sorry.... it was USD 500+

I mean local here sell around RM 1.2K

does asus offer international warranty???
coz i travel alot.... out of country for a while then relocate again....

Yeah, free 1 year international warranty for netbooks

cool... so next question is where should i get that model for the best price??? which lowyat shop? other than lowyat, where else got the better deal? or maybe D2D delivery from Asus?

Yeah, apparently you can also extend the warranty too just like Toshiba. You can try Cycom of lowyat plaza, they do sell rather cheap laptops
But still it would be good if you can survey from all the big shops (don't try very very small ones haha) then ask for the best price~

Or if you don't mind, you can try garage sales of lowyat.net too, those definitely cheapest haha

thanks for the 2 cents ...

and sorry to everyone that i should actually discuss it in asus eepc thread.. ^^

Haha, its okay
I believe the most important thing is getting the laptop which suits your requirements most
Toshiba doesn't provide all the best laptops in the world ar haha

yeah.... of course... once again, thank you guys...!!
