Hi all, I am considering some netbook to buy: asus 1015b/1015px/toshiba NB520
purpose: for gf to carry to school. 12" is too heavy for her. we have laptop at home, so just need mobility. my question: AMD or Atom better? I worry about the durability of AMD processor as I have a AMD laptop and spoiled. How about the battery life between 1015b and 1015px? similar? I afraid AMD platform eat battery faster... |

I worry about the durability of AMD processor as I have a AMD laptop and spoiled. How about the battery life between 1015b and 1015px? similar? I afraid AMD platform eat battery faster... If you are to consider other factors such as performance, battery life or multimedia, then each of them have their own specialization. AMD Fusion would be the most balanced and powerful overall. The new Fusion lineup is still leaps and bounds over the last generation AMD procs. Battery life between the 1015B and 1015PX isn't that huge but still noticable. The 1015B might get around 5 hours to the 7 in the 1015PX. The main difference why people prefer the 1015B is that is is more powerful as a whole system (no small part by the HD6250M GPU) and is a lot cheaper at RM800 compared to the 1015PX. The NB520 would be more suited if you are targeting a more multimedia type netbook since its speakers are amazing for such a tiny thing. But still, Atom would be the weakest link.

Any info on battery life for this model?SRP for this model is RM1,099 only - RM200 cheaper than 1215B Spec below:- Genuine Windows® 7 Starter 32-bit AMD Dual-Core E-450 (1.65 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache) 2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (1 x 2 GB) 500 GB SATA (5400 rpm) Integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN 802.11 b/g/n HP TrueVision HD Webcam with Integrated Digital Microphone (High Definition low-light) 11.6" High-Definition LED HP Brightview Display AMD Radeon HD 6320 Includes FREE Backpack Almost same spec as 1215B except HD webcam, 11.6" LCD and FREE Backpack...

Since it is small, I have one other question.Is it running cool (like my MSI CR650 on E-350) or is it running hot because of its cramp space and cooling? Anyone please share info. Thank you in advance. This post has been edited by nakTT: Oct 26 2011, 12:25 PM |

QUOTE(extremo @ Oct 20 2011, 03:34 PM) Hi guys, I think windows 7 starter cannot use more than 2gb ram. So you better upgrade your OS first, and then your ram. CPU-Z showed i got samsung brand ram. So maybe the shop did swap the original ram... 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 ... My budget is also tight. Right now i'm wondering if i should upgrade my OS. Windows 8 is gonna get released next year onli. So I'm not sure if it's worth upgrading it to home premium now... |

Tq appido, that's what I read & heard also, the system won't read 4G of ram, maybe due to limitation of starter edition, damn that salesman, I'm goin' to confront his boss this weekend, jaga lu. Any recommended place/shop to buy & upgrade the OS to Windows Home Premium64 bit?My budget is also tight. Right now i'm wondering if i should upgrade my OS.
