Guys, I'm about to buy this laptop for my Wife-To-Be.
She's a THR.FM cruiser, thus she travels a lot.

Although I have a few question I wanted to ask before I proceed with the purchase of this exact model.
I'm thinking of upgrading the RAM from 1GB to 2GB since I'll be installing Windows 7 Ultimate on this laptop afterwards. Maybe.

1. What's the total weight of this laptop without AC-adapter connected to it [With battery attched to the laptop offcourse]?
2. Has anyone ever tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit on this laptop? If you have, how's the performance?
3. How's the overall speed when Yahoo! Messenger with My Webcam running on background, does windows lag a lot or just a little bit with only 1GB of ram installed?
4. Will Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit slow down this laptop or would it run at the same speed as Windows 7 Starter 32 Bit?

Buy from eBay worldwide, it's cheaper.

US$29.90 X 3.4 = RM101.66

Current US to RM exchange is 3.2, but you have to include PayPal charges, so the currency exchance should be 3.4 instead.

PS: Never buy a Bluetooth GPS receiver, it's slow. Even the cheapest USB GPS receiver can beat the most expensive Bluetooh GPS receiver.

Thanks for the answer everyone.
Then Windows 7 Ultimate it is.

1 minute bootup eyh? That's pretty slow. Hmm. Readyboost? Hmm again.
Maybe if I snuck in a 4GB SDHC Class 10 the speed will be even faster.

About the weight, damn, I was hoping it'll be less than 1KG. This way, she won't mind carrying it in her handbag.
Does the unit comes with a car charger? If not, where to buy?

I know, but my Wife-To-Be is a very picky girl.
She doesn't like things that are heavy.
That's why I want it to be as light & small as possible.

Checked almost all netbook brands & models but nothing beats size & weight of a Vaio P.
Although the price is a little bit scary as 1 unit of Vaio P can buy 3 units of HP Mini 110.

It's not for work anyway.
She's a THR.FM Cruiser, she travels a lot and she needs to post up twitter, facebook post a lot.
I've already bought the USB GPS receiver & an in-car universal laptop charger, this way she can use the laptop as a GPS Navigator instead.
This is why I want the laptop to be as small as possible.

The only thing left is to decide which netbook to buy & a laptop in-car holder so that she doesn't have to hold the laptop and the laptop won't fall down while she's driving.

Garmin Mobile® PC works at uber fast speed on my old 5 years old sempron laptop.
I believe it'll perform faster on any current netbook I'll be buying.

Hate to dissapoint you but I'm kinda fat. Heh.
She may be able to choose light hardwares, but she can't choose how my belly grows.
Thinkpad X100e ey?
You mean Lenovo right?
Checking....

It depends on how fast is your SD card and how big is the capacity.
If it's only 2GB Class 2 ~ 4GB Class 4, you won't feel much differences.
Want the best performance, use a 4GB Class 10. Though the price will shock you.

No.


Readyboost is originally made for Laptops / notebooks / UMPC / netbooks. Because there's very little room for upgrade on these portable computers.
Yes you can use it for PC but for what? Just upgrade your PC lar. PC is made for upgrades, that's why people don't use readyboost for PC.

You can't adjust C:\ partition because it's being used for Windows.
If you want to adjust partition C:\, you'll have to start from the beginning: Windows Installation AKA Format.
