aiyo... why no more DM1-4000AU
the additional rm200 for DM1-4010AU is mainly wins 7 home basic?

i do install that and it does not work...the solution is to google 'hotkey service'...already found it but they(asus) never put the software in the 1215B driver list

u guys are lucky to have no keyboard flex issue. mine have the keyboard flex issue and i dunno whether i shoud DIY mod or send back to Asus to fix it (dunno whether they will fix it or not though)

anyone got this issue your wifi can't connect to UNIFI ( i'm using UNIFI default router) because i can't connect to it at all. i try setting my iphone 4 to hotspot i could connect to it without issue. i haven't try other wifi hotspot though. anyone ?

update: i change a setting in my UNIFI router and now working already no issue on WIFI now

Right... got itchy fingers today, so went to lowyat and bought an extra 4GB ram (Corsair 4GB DDR3 1333) for my 1215B, bringing the total to 6GB. Booted up, tried to refresh my Windows Experience Index... BSOD. Opened up the covers again. Reseated the damn thing agan. Booted up into bios, and confirmed the bios is registering 6GB ram - check. Boot into windows. Run WEI test again... works...RAM score at 5.8... and then BSOD again.

Anyway, after running a few tests (including memtest - no errors, but...), I decided to go back to Lowyat and get it replaced with a Kingston set (Thanks, C-Zone, for letting me swap the corsair with the Kingston! )
Got back. Plonked in the ram, booted up, ran WEI... and success! No BSOD... so far. WEI ram score is 4.8, same as the kingston.

My new WEI scores:
Processor: 3.9
Memory (Ram): 5.8
Graphics: 4.6
Gaming graphics: 5.9
Primary HD: 5.9

Can't say for certain that all corsairs will give the same result, but just thought to share so if you do have the same issues, you should consider changing the brand. Having said that, when i checked the corsair ram using HWinfo64, the info highlighted in the image below was missing from the corsair ram, but present for the samsung and the kingston ram. Also, when ram testing using memtest, it could identify 2 dimms totaling 6GB, but it could identify 1 as being 2GB (samsung), but the other (corsair) as 0GB. Mmmm... Anyway, YMMV.

anyone see HP e350 based at LYP .?

Planning to upgrade the Win7 Starter on my 1215b, what would you all recommend (basic/home/ultimate/32bit or 64bit)?...One without hassle/issues of course.

Home Premium 64-bit would be the best. I find it hard to recommend any other version since most people would never use most of the features in Professional and Ultimate.

Go For Window 7 Ultimate.

Home Premium usually is enough.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
Anyway, got an updated email from Bubble Liew from ASUS support. Apparently, she made a mistake - ASUS 1216B DOES NOT support SATA3. So there you have it. I hope nobody ran out and bought a SATA3 SSD based on the earlier and incorrect announcement.

I just got my 1215B yesterday, I bought it instead of HP DM1Z
I planned to get this coz it has USB 3.0, also the screen is slightly bigger
unfortunately today I tried it and I got keyboard flexing problem when putting on a table to type
in fact, the keyboard is bouncy when u just use 1 finger to type, i feel so good
but when I used 2 hands to type I got bad feeling with it....its like on foam, FLOATING
should I send it back to ASUS for solving the keyboard flexing problem ?
or just let it ? some said the keyboard is default like that +_+ , is that true ?

My only disappointment is the keyboard flex, else very nice!

since ur bought it 1215b,mind to ask if screen size is 12.1" or 11.6"?

1215 = 12.1
hp DM1 = 11.6
Dell = 11.6

thanks adie

Hi guys,

I work from home 90% and used my ever reliable 6 years old desktop which run on Windows XP(SP3) with 1.5G DDR Ram only.I just need a simple netbook when I'm not at home basically to check email & casual surfing. Bought my 1215B (matte silver) two weeks ago & just got time to fiddle with it now.

Factors for buying - ASUS brandname, screen size (not to small or to big), weight, spec (with HDMI port, USB 3.0, full HD & Direct X 11).

The salesman told me that my unit come with 2X of 1G Ram instead of 1X of 2G Ram as advertised, (he may have conned me by swapping the Ram & keep insisting me to change with 2X 2G Ram for a further RM100.00 which I refused). Checking with CPU-Z reveals that both slot 1 & 2 occupied by 1024MB (10700), manufacturer - no name, max bandwith -PC3-10700 (667Mhz).

My WEI score initially was only 2.6 but after I use my flash drive as speed boost it increase to 3.8.

I find that the performance is quite slow compare to my desktop as I mention above eventhough my desktop runs on older processor, therefore I plan to upgrade to 4G of Ram (2G each slot).

Would upgrading it to 4G of Ram improve the overall performance? Is it worth it? Is Kingston Ram model KVR 1333D3S8S9/2GB 1333MHz DDR3 compatible? If yes how much it will cost?

Also plan to upgrade to Windows 7Home Premium 64 Bit later, which one to upgrade first to increase the overall performance, RAM or OS? coz my budget is a little tight now. By the way Is the upcoming Windows 8 compatible with 1215B?

Appreciate you guys comments, advise & recomendation. Thank You ...

Have you reformat it first ?
Overall performance would be upgrading the HDD..
2GB RAM is sufficient unless your usage are maxing it out currently..
