are you okay with the 2gb RAM limitation?

I have a same doubt as you. is it better to take starter version, save the cost in future upgrade to windows 8?

u bought asus 1215B with e450 or HP DM1 with r450?
can show some pics?

Probably the 1215B since it comes in those 3 colors.

Is it possible to extend the 1215B warranty with ASUS?

wow EEEPC 1215B  arrive at malaysia??? 3week ago just bought EEEPC 1015B cause i ask 1215B but seller say havent come at malaysia zz

Any feedback on the 1215B u bought? Any issues with keyboard flex? Touchpad? Build quality? Out of curiosity, why did you chose the 1215B over the DM1-4000? I'm deciding between the two at the moment.

Anyway, I've pm'ed one of the members for my order. Hopefully, I will be able to COD it soon. The first thing to do will be to slap in another 4GB of ram, a 64bit OS, and a lcd protector to cut down on the glare. Eventually, the plan will be to swap out the HD into a USB3 external HD, and pop in a small SSD to speed things along, but that will be a little later when SSD prices come down a bit.

If you can replace the HDD with an SSD, do share a guide with us. AFAIK, replacing it would involve dismantling the unit and also voiding the warranty. 

Was thinking about installing Ubuntu, but right now Linux Mint looks pretty good. I'll probably dual boot between Win7 Starter32 and Linux Mint64 until I feel comfortable enough to ditch Windows altogether. Personally, I'd rather spend the RM350 bucks for a Home Premium64 on a SSD.

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 ...
