Welcome joining the group...

Hopfully tis coming pc fair in kuching there'll be promo on this ..

Anyone?

congrats bro...

yeah...
i'm too feel that the price a bit too "high" for AMD zacate APU notebook
and i don't think HP will held such promo for this paticular model...
because it still new in malaysia market...
but as you can see in HP site..
there's still no MSRP for dm1

maybe they still reconsider the price

i'm too doesn't see any intake on this new HP dm1
so i guessing your right...
intake from keyboard...

p/s: no wonder i'm feel a little bit of heat on the vent after i put keyboard protector

sell your old laptop...
and get this laptop fast!!!
for me the best "netbook" were surpose to be 11.6"...
10.1" were too small

couple of things i dont like this notebook, firstly, the back cover flexs like a b**** when you pick it up. Worse when you pick it up from the front which is the thinner side. This flex can be bad because you can putting pressure on the rams inside when the cover flexs. secondly, the damn touch pad could be better. the left and right buttons...they should not be trackable. Meaning, you can actually move the mouse pointer over the surface of the left and right button. problem to those like me who puts our left thumb over the left button while the right index finger moves on the pad. This confuses the touch pad.

Actually, I find the notebook to be adequate in term of quality vs. price. I bought one for my staff and it is "good enough". I think the Thinkpad x120E should be better in the overall sturdiness of the exterior casing. However, it is not here yet. I doubt it would be at RM1499......

For me, I like the new touchpad and I have used it. It may take some time to get used to it, but I prefer a large surface for touchpad.

someone ask me about heat issue

hope it can help you guys to decide

How bout fan noise?

fan noise
for me it is quiet OK...not so loaud...
except when it spin on full speed

add me in..just bought this afternoon plus add HP carepack extended warranty for 3 years...add another 2Gb RAM total running 4Gb RAM

performance so far after some quite torture activities , it's far way better than stupid intel atom...Atom really suc#ks..

happy user so far...

congrat on your purchased!!!
yup...it's a BIG gap if you compered it with Intel Atom
how much it cost you with ram 4GB upgrade and extend warranty for 3 years???

p/s: thinking of getting those HP CarePack 3 yrs...but is it worthy??for extend warranty what do they cover??

i think every netbook should backup with extended warranty since it's more fragile than notebook..hotter and keep playing games on it..

add another 2gb ddr3r cost rm64 kingston lifetime warranty..hp extended another 2 years rm70 at authorised hp store level 4 lowyat

thinking of reformat and intalling win7 ultimate..

Put an SSD in it for extra speed.

yup...already think about it...
and i decide to extend my warranty to 3 years....
thanks!!

today i just purchase another 2GB stick...
tonight will see how it perform

UPDATE for dm1z user
HP has released a new BIOS ver.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwar...095731&sw_lang=

technical question: i need the portability but for long daily usage i may want to project to bigger display - so if i output via hdmi to a 23"-24" LCD do i get to enjoy the higher resolution?

thx in advance

^yes..
