Netbooks used to be dull and monotonous, picking a netbook back then is as easy as picking the design of the netbook.... But not anymore, netbooks are becoming more and more fancy lately and that's why I think it'll be good to add in this thread~

Don't forget the other 1215B variant. Comes with a C-50 instead of the E-350 and has W7 Starter.

Apple MacBook Air anyone?

anyway, i am not too familiar with netbooks... TJ u may wanna find some other peeps to help...

Any links on the specs and price?

Added on March 27, 2011, 5:52 pmYeah, I was wondering whether we should add in Macs... But it'll be alot of work to keep up-to-date.. and this thread will probably be a place for alot of flaming
Bro you humble la haha.... Anyway, any suggestions?

Who is pro in netbooks?

This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Mar 27 2011, 05:52 PM

Here you go, Hikari just updated it.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...928&hl=hikari85

for apple just refer to http://store.apple.com/my/browse/home/shop...mco=MTg4Mjg4ODQ .by the way,Apple have their own thread and i dont think they will come into PC thread

Congrats [PF] T.J. new thread, is C 50 good enough? Anyone knows? Thinking to buy 1215B-SIV016S, is it already on sale?

ETA coming early april

For me, I'm not enough.

I rather wait for the one with the E-350.

Hi, is it C-50 slower than Atom N550? Right?

Added on March 27, 2011, 7:40 pmWow, next week. So near. lolz

This post has been edited by Borsch Soup: Mar 27 2011, 07:40 PM

both C-50 & E-350 will be arrive on same time

Maybe I buy the Acer Aspire One AO522, rm1299 really worth it, Wow, really hard to choose la. lolz

Well clock for clock, the N550 would be faster but due to the out-of-order execution the C-50 uses, the difference is not much. But overall the C-50 is still more powerful.

Thanks Marcus, that's very reassuring to hear that.

Acer AO522 got typo =p

Asus 12" E-350 model will be out pretty soon.
Support HD Graphic & include HDMI-output and 1xUSB3.0 port
Get that one....

Thanks alot
Bro you seemed experienced with netbooks, would you like to write the recommendation for this thread?

How about the Asus 1215B with E-350, the previous specs with FreeDOS is correct at RM1399?

Pricelist updated, thanks alot marcus

I wonder why the Asus 1215B comes with FreeDOS

Cut cost..

Yea, probably
Usually they would give an option of FreeDOS or W7 I think
Plan to get this for my dad yea, just hope the FreeDOS won't cause too much problems

Save RM200 for minus Win7 Home Premium

Oh just install a new OS yourself. I plan to chuck an SSD into it once I get my hands on one.

SSD on?

The 1215B.

LOL, I'm very susceptible to poison one lo
How much SSD are you planning to put in? Planning to do it yourself? It'll be blazing fast, worth considering
I don't really mind installing the OS myself, just abit worried about the drivers since I'm not very familiar with Asus, anyway I can always ask you later haha

Imma putting an Intel X-25M 160GB in it. I got mines for just RM700 in GS. Best part of the SSD is you can now manhandle the netbook and don't have to worry about your data.

This post has been edited by AlexLai: Mar 27 2011, 10:36 PM

"Manhandle" LOL
Wow, it certainly is expensive

I got mine for cheaps. Retail price for that drive is around RM1.5k.

OMG!!!
Wow you got like 50% discount leh
What's the cheapest SSD around at the moment?

Corsair F60 ? Intel X-25V 40 ?

or find the OEM Intel X-25M

This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Mar 27 2011, 10:46 PM

Mine's the OEM one.

Wah.... really expensive I no money

Then get the Corsair F60. 60GB of SandForce goodness for <RM500.

I should probably come back here after 10 years
"Good" and "Bad" SSDs usually only refer to their speeds right? iirc, even the "Bad" ones are way faster than 7,200rpm HDD

Power consumption, Trim, etc..

Oh I see
"a TRIM command allows an operating system to inform a solid-state drive (SSD) which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped internally", what does it mean anyway? Delete? LOL

TRIM:
When you delete a file, windows only deletes the index pointer, not the data itself. This is not a problem with an HDD, which will simply overwrite the data, it doesn't make a difference for it if it's empty or not. To the contrary, an SSD will take up to four times the time it takes to write something on a partially written block, as opposed to a fresh block, would the data be marked as valid or not. TRIM makes sure that when a delete command is sent to the drive, the drive actually indeed eradicates the data so the cells are really empty, so the next write to them will be as fast as possible, keeping then the speed of the drive. TRIM was implemented after ITGC, because of it's inherent limitations.

more reading: http://forum.notebookreview.com/solid-stat...thout-trim.html

Wow, that's a very very good article that even noobs like me can understand LOL THanks for sharing!
So which SSD has TRIM and which one doesnt? The ones above all have 1 right since they're so expensive

This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Mar 28 2011, 09:26 AM

Intel X-25M G1 don't have TRIM, others not sure

Wah, wouldn't that be very risky? It seems the writer of the article is rather serious about the problem

This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Mar 28 2011, 10:11 AM

But the X-25M G2 has it.

Even the Corsair F-series has it and it's pretty good there already.

So the Corsair F60 has it? Man I'm poisoned

Got TRIM

Iconia W500 brochure out

Thanks for sharing
Can't really see... mind typing out the specs bro?

add a 64gb class 10 sd card and its a perfect little monster.

Download directly from here.

Many thanks! Any idea what's the price for the dual-screen Iconia?

Please read another thread showing the price of ICONIA DS as RM3,699

Yeah, updated already, thank you thank you

Samsung Android Galaxy Sl selling at rm1699, Acer Iconia W500 also rm1699, really hard to choose which to buy, makes me wonder is Android overprice? The W500 comes with Win7 somemore, bigger screen, SD card slot etc etc.

MUSHKIN E.C.DLX 40GB (R 280 W 270MB/s) 329
OCZ VERTEX 2 40GB (R 280 W 270MB/s) 339

KINGSTON SV100-S2 64GB (R 250 W 230MB/s) 389
CORSAIR F60 60GB (R 285 W 275MB/s) 449
MUSHKIN E.C.DLX 60GB (R 285 W 275MB/s) 449
OCZ VERTEX 2 60GB (R 285 W 275MB/s) 449


i am thinking of getting the KINGSTON SV100-S2 64GB (R 250 W 230MB/s) 389.

what do you think?

Slower but seems to be quite good value. Personally, I would wait for reviews and issues to come out before I proceed.

+1
I..... will wait for money to drop from the sky

Hey the Asus 1215b with e 350 out yet??

bro,,do u think if put in 40gb ssd in 1215B is enough??

Hmm, why put SSD in the 1215?

40gb is okay with Windows 7 with Office, properly left 15gb after install.

Might be out already.

40GB might be stretching it. Safer to put 60GB at least unless you don't have that much stuff to bring around.

Better performance, faster access times, your data is safer etc...

any brand recommended??
i might wanna find a used ssd thou..he3..
or myb agree with PFTJ,,
after 10 years,,then i come again..he3..

Perhaps you can find owikh84. I got my SSD from him. Great seller of great products.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1485352&hl=

But bear in mind, OEM products only have a limited warranty.

If you got more budget then can get Corsair or Mushkin.

ts dell 11.6" m102z is already out

c-50 2gb win7hp 64bit 320gb 7200rpm rm1599

e-350 4gb win7hp 64bit 500gb 7200rpm rm1799

wat do u mean by limited wrnty??

Warranty is not supported by Intel. So you only get 1 month warranty from the seller.

oh..ok..he3..i might wanna get 60 gb ssd,,if my money allows it..he3..
cant wait for the 1215B here in slgor..

Thank you thank you, updating now
The specs look good

its 11.6" not 10".

Oh S***, din't even noticed
Thanks for pointing it out bro, appreciate it

ur a very good observer bro..he3..

Asus Eee PC 1215B, AMD E350 where can buy it? anybody know?

can pre order from hikari85 at garage sales..

Is this one still available for RM699 ?

Its the promotion for the upcoming PC Fair
Only early birds will get it

Oh i see, so i have to get it at PC Fair as soon as the fair starts?

Geezz... the ocdrift website seems to be down.. there was information on this there haha
Anyway, iinm, the 1st few buyers on each PC fair day will be eligible

Heheh thanx. If I can't get that one I guess I'll go for the Samsung NC110.

Why not the Asus 1015b@RM999? Its a good lappy

Oh I tot this model is going for RM1099. So I can buy this model in Lowyat now for RM999?

Usually you'll be able to bargain abit
The price is stated as RM999 by marcus20125 iinm, you can try dealing with him

Any news for hp dm1z?can I find it on this coming kl pc fair??!

Its already available in Lowyat plaza according to one forumer, priced at RM1499 F

Finally its here liao hehe~

So do you think it will be available on this week pc fair??..hope to get more added value if I purchase it in pc fair..

I don't think the price difference would be alot in PC Fairs, perhaps you'll get more freebies only... those freebies ain't exactly very good in quality
ANyway, I think should have in PC Fair, if you can't seem to find one, you can always go to LYP

Better to take the best deals in PC Fair and then buying in LYP.

Plan to get this laptop for my cousin:
Eee PC 1015PW, Atom N570 + Intel GMA3150 + (1024x600)@RM1299 [1.25kg], Colors: Purple/Brown/Biege, 6-cell [4400mAh]

Tried to find in Lowyat with this in purple colour and price but can't seem to get that price. Anyone knows how to get it?

Any Asus netbook touchscreen please PM best price

Asus Eee Pad Transformer, Nvidia Tegra 2 + (1280x800) + 16GB EMMC@1498, Android 3.0 Honeycomb[0.68kg], with Dock@1799

Runs on Android OS though~


This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Jun 22 2011, 10:47 PM

Technically, I wouldn't call the Transformer a netbook.

Me too haha, but its the only available option from Asus right?

There was the old touch EeePC T101MT iirc. Not sure if it's still available in the mass market.

nak tnye.. ade stok utk asus Eee PC Lamborghini VX6?? berape harga??

emel : kalamazooboy_90@yahoo.com

is there any1 can let me know where can i get this notebook?
Eee PC 1215B, AMD E350 + AMD HD6310 + (1366x768)@RM1399 [1.45kg], Colors: Black/Silver/Red

i want to buy!!!!

We don't have it here unfortunately... perhaps can try buying from Singapore?
If not, then HP Dm1z and Dell M102z would be the closest to this netbook at RM1499

Any update latest price?
