but now thinking to change to xp due to have a compatible hsdpa usb modem
maybe will left xxxmb??wts?(not sell)

From what I heard xp occupy more or less around 3GB,so left with 1GB and plus office it would left with a few hundred MB only.

I think after a while they might come out with a driver to make HSDPA to be compatible with Linux.
Guess it's good with just Linux instead of XP unless you take the 8GB model.

It's nice to lug around for meetings,college and to starbucks or wherever that has got Wifi.

hahaa...7 inch screen oni ya?

well..if i hv to 'lug' anything around..it might as well b a proper lappie..

Think of the weight man..
I've been travelling with my laptop in a sling bag that came with it,carrying it around the airport itself is a pain in the ass,hurts my shoulder a lot.
That's why i'm eyeing at this.

yea, and the size, it is about half of a A4 size only, and the power adapter is really small, can carry around very easy..

you can get a 4gb or 8gb SD card and install on it, eeepc does support SDHC up to 8gb now..

Lucky for whoever that bought from NewEgg. Man, i just love it when this kind of blunder happen..lol..

Leave the 14" and above laptop at home and bring the Ultra portable out.

Haha.. It's not gonna happen to us..

if XP occupy 3Gb. After installing drivers n MS office? Negative Gb

How much is this baby going for?

isn't it supposed to be 200USD. do not want.
low res screen is low.
better get a low end notebook.

4GB one for RM1499.

Hi shirohamada,

as I mentioned b4, this would be perfect for people who wanna do documentation and internet surfing only. For many of us who like to mess ard with our PC's, I don't think it's suitable. But I may get 1 just for work.

the price not 200usd no more
asus hike the price b'coz the lcd

kerazul,
just got my ibm external dvdrw
good!superbly!
compatible with linux,mac,windows
later maybe install xp n let u know(my xp is *ahem one)

Yeap.. I too would wanna get one for to bring to college and starbucks or any wifi hotspot cafes.

oh? an Eee thread? wonderful!

Kerazul: this is the stuff that i mentioned to you previously. Good eh?

btw, this would be nice for classroom setting as its not HUEG or HEAVY or something to that sense, and its about the same price as people would pay for a handphone these days. seeing this has about 3.5 hours of battery WITH wifi on, i can say you can add about 1 hour or so with the wifi turned off?

and also, as someone previously said, SHDC 8GB + this = a better thing to have than a PDA. Even with XP on it, you can save some space by installing OpenOffice seeing its smaller. Besides, you can always nLite your XP installation.

http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4062 <== some tweaks people have done for the Eee, which includes XP installation.

BTW, there is another model of the Eee announced last year - 8GB version. it WILL be more expensive, but would be more better for installing XP WITH extra space.

but for basic document workings? i think the 4GB is decent enough.

If one decides to remain Linux then the 4GB one would be sufficient.
But if one decides to have XP + Office + some other programs,then the 8GB would be nice.
