Thanks for the info.

Second question,
Is the pre-installed W7HP clean or it come with many bloatware?

Can't answer you,cause I didn't purchase this model,but the demo there just show a normal win 7 HP.I believe if their pre loaded with HP software was easily to uninstall it.

Is it including power adapter?

some say that asus 2 years warranty cover adapter too.isnt it?

I am looking for a 10" netbook due to mobility. I am in JB and i search through the digital mall and they only sell 1215B with E-450 @ 1299. They said 1015px is old model and asus going to change model soon. Is that true or due to the Pikom pc fair next weekend?

go for 1015b if 1215b is big for u

i just found that there is a asus model with new atom processor named 1025CE
www.eprice.com.hk%2Fnb%2Ftalk%2F10%2F1835%2F&h=mAQGiy3By
dunno when it will be available in Malaysia~~~

1025 is the new line of EeePC. It has a newer, slicker look thanks to its metallic surface and has the newer Ceder Trail Atom processors.

This 1215B was just launched in Malaysia and the 1025CE/1025C is already out? Damn..

1025 has been announced for several months but it's not out yet. 1215 series has already been out since the beginning of the year.

After getting some useful recommendations here this morning and doing some survey on the internet, I have zoomed down into these two options mainly due to the size and light weight which is suitable for portability.

The Asus 1215B was initially looking good but there were several comments about the flimsy keyboard which appears to be flexing/bending when typing. Some reviews on the internet confirmed on the quality of the keyboard.

Then I came across the HP DM1 which seems to be a close competitor to the Asus 1215B. The 11.6" screen of the HP DM1 is slightly smaller than the 12.1" screen of the Asus 1215B, but the performance of the DM1 was said to be better than the Asus, scoring high points mainly on processing speed. Can someone confirm on this ?

The Asus 1215B is about RM1,250 and HP DM1 RM1,100, so price difference is relatively small. The build quality of the DM1 looks more solid than the Asus 1215B. My only gripe with the 1215B is on the keyboard, complaints pouring in from existing users.

Which do you think is a better netbook in terms of performance? Mainly web browsing and videos(720p or HD).

Any advice appreciated .

Added on November 1, 2011, 2:51 pmOne advantage the Asus 1215B has over the HP DM1 is availability of a USB 3.0 socket. Anybody used the USB 3.0 and noticed a vast improvement over the USB 2.0?

in terms of raw performance both are roughly the same... and for HD videos, they re practically the same (hardware Flash acceleration)

so i would say it all boils down to personal preference...

Okay thanks. So I'll go with the looks and feel of the keyboard the next time I try both these netbooks in the store.

Any other comments welcome.

^ Should be the latter...

Asus 1215B (E450) is better because of the USB3.0~
Can consider Dell M102z as well, the HDD is faster

u need to ve a USB 3.0 device in order to take advantage of the USB 3.0 port... else it will still run in USB 2.0 speed...

the current only advantage of USB 3.0 now is that it can supply more current than USB 2.0, thus ur iPod and phones can charge faster...

Just wanted to ask 1215B owners. Does Asus have a carrying bag specifically for the 1215B?

I would say NO to Atom.

1215 is quite heavy to my gf. we both have our lappy with i3 and it is sufficient for entertainment everyday. We need a light netbook for her to carry to work for some works like .doc file only. 1215 is a waste for us. so looking forward to 1025CE~~~
