Hey Eugene, seldom see you around. How's UK riot? You snatch anything big?  brows.gif Just kidding.

BTW, good question, I did a bit check up, found this:

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/253029-32-heat

The spec sheet for my 1TB Western Digital Caviar Green drive reads:
Temperature (Degrees C) - Operating 5 to 55, Non-operating: -40 to 70

The spec sheet for the Intel X25M-G2 drives reads:
Temperature - Operating: 0C to 70C, Non-operating: -55C to 95C


Look like SSD can tolerate more heat.

Haha I stopped coming during my final exams last time, then after exam went to Europe travel and stuffs, busy with finding new place to rent, then after that came back Malaysia for holidays..

I thank god I am not in London during the riot... It was really crazy, even the supposedly safe and high class areas also spotted with looting incidents... I am going back UK next Monday for graduation and to continue an Msc Finance degree.

Yea, I seldom come to forum anymore, too long didn't come very hard to keep up and give suggestions dy...


Added on August 23, 2011, 4:21 pmBtw, I might be getting a Thinkpad x121e when I go back, There was a pretty good deal the other day at Lenovo UK website selling it for around 330pounds after discount and some online cashback, which is around Rm1650...

Really want to get one because it would make my studies so much more convenient... What do u think?

The biggest drawback is without USB3.0. With USB3.0, there is an option to replace your HDD with a small SSD, and use USB for other storage. USB 3.0 allow almost full speed of HDD without bottleneck...

So, are you sure?

I don't really mind not having USB 3.0... The HDD slot if I am not mistaken is 1.8inch one... I think 1.8inch SSD's cost more? So don't think I would need to invest in a SSD so soon lar...

But what do u think of the price? How much is Malaysia selling it?

Oh I think the specs is similar to the E120 in Malaysia.. Malaysia seems to more expensive, the one with W7HP is rm1999, and no customizations

hmmm, any netbooks worth to get nowadays??

I wanna get one for Uni use but don't wanna waste so much money on it since my laptop is just 1 year++ only...

Looking at 1015B but C-50 seems not powerful enough...

I like the EOL'ed AO522 but the only downside is the 3-cell battery...

Hp-dm1z seems out of my budget... For that price, I'd rather top up a bit more and get x121e in UK which is much mroe powerful..

I have never used an atom or c-50.. Is it really that slow? I just need it to jot down lecture notes or view lecture slides.. I know the resolution would be a downside but just have to cope with it since it's cheap.. Rm799 is really worth it cause any normal netbooks in Uk are at least rm1000 Even after converted..

Lol tablet is more expensive and I can't type fast enough with it.. I want a tablet nevertheless, but can never find a proper reason to want one... For me, netbooks are still a better choice over tablet for portble study purposes
