k0k_w31,

1) What time your shop close on Friday? If i have sent you the form before 16th November, is the unit reserved until your closing time?

2) Lazy to download and use Paint to fill in form. Can you fax the form to me tomorrow when i get to the office?

3) Also there was a question in respect to CC purchase which you didn't answer. Is there any surcharge?
*
1) My shop time is closing on 10pm.

2) No problem, tomorrow u pm me, then i will fax the form to your office, then you jz fill in and fax back to me.

3) The price RM1299 is cash price.

Thanks


Added on November 11, 2007, 7:34 pmif let say the purchaser is more than the number of the limited units of Eee Pc,
then we have to sell to those who come earlier than you althought you have fax us the pre-launch form.

i heard from the In-Ta-Net said that the warranty is void if we upgrade the ram but there is a way to upgrade it without void the warranty. How is it?
*
ok, regarding about the RAM upgrade to 1GB,
Im very concern about this issue too, since i will buy one also.
I've talk to Asustek people about this.
may be we got to go to Asus Royal Club there for the proper RAM upgrade.
hope they will approve and let us upgrade the Ram to 1GB in reasonable price. wink.gif
Will update you guys once i got any news from them.

Any idea what color the casing on 16th November launch?

The Casing on the lauching day is Pearl White Colour.
Not the Black one.
Currently the Black color is not available in Malaysia.

so can i pay extra cash to upgrade the ram at the time i buy it?
how much?


Added on November 11, 2007, 8:52 pmBTW, what type of Linux OS do they use?
4got the name oredi.
*
No, you cant.
Because the Eee PC comes with the Sticker between the RAM cover n the body.
Once broken, will void the warranty.
Im waiting for the new from Asustek regarding adding Extra RAM by them.

Actually I've forgotton to check which version.
By the way, it comes with messaging software, games, and many good stuff especially for kids learning.
will check it out once the my demo unit arrived.
Will give you update once i know what is the software version. smile.gif

Sorry, I got confused.
Did you mean this notebook c/w 1G ram instead of 512MB ram as per Asus official website ?
*
no, it comes with 512MB as Asus official website said.
since it comes with a single slot for the RAM.
so you only can take out that piece of 512MB, then replace it by another 1GB for the Maximum Performance.
Because we cannot simply upgrade the RAM by ourself, it will void the warranty due to warranty stickers broken after u open the RAM cover.

say k0k_w31,

have u try this machine oredi?
what do you think if u oredi try it?
*
lol, ok.
Well honestly, when the time i first knewing this machine, i was in love it with.
Because it suit my usage.
I did try it already last friday, it was small and cute.
Hmm...performance wise still consider fast if you using in linux software.
but i didnt try windows, Asus people not allowed me to format it to windows XP.
and by the way, it came from taiwan for marketing testing, so it will return back to taiwan later.

is looks great, pearl white body and small, but we can feel the body is very solid when we hold it using one hand.
not like those expensive notebook u feel like worry it will crack the screen when u holding it tight.
Design for kids ma, somemore durable and shock proof design. haha
and when u hold it, u can feel the solidness. so whenever you go, jz bring and use.
like going to starbuck or any cafe with Wifi services.

People like me will only using this thing for msn and suft the net and also online banking.
it comes with 4GB flash drive, come on, what else u expect in this price which is RM1299??
U buying a hightech handphone is more than that. jz imagine, u getting a mini notebook at RM1299, how cheap it is???

The screen size is 800 by 480 pixels.
so for guys n gals like me who always put on our own personalise wallpaper have to touch up a bit (i mean edit the size)
the webcam is 300k pixels, but still looks good, not those blur like cant see ur eyes at all, haha.
as u gus know la, we cant compare with those big notebook which comes with 1.3 or 3 megapixels one.
especially the performance...

then the battery is 4 cells 5200 mAh, can last till 3.5 hours.
Enough ade.

the last thing is, I believe in their Quality and services, thats y i will own one unit for my daily use too, haha.
Hope you guys can get it and satisfy with it usage.

Cheers... rclxms.gif

So when you might expect to sell the 8GB model?
*
this one im not sure,
because the 8GB price i guess will almost the same with the cheapest range of bigger notebook which selling at RM1799,
They jz told me the 8GB Flash disk cost a lot, using the external hard drive better.
so at this moment havent heard any news from Asustek for the upcoming model, somemore if the pre-sale sold all of it,
then PC fair may be no Eee Pc also.
Althought the 4GB version will have the pre-sale on 16th november.
I guess it might take so long time to wait another batch coming,
due to the whole world shortage of Asus Eee Pc...

yeah you can install XP on it. it WILL take a big chunk of the SSD but its possible. heck, Asus is even giving the drivers for the tuff in a dvd they are providing with the unit. So if want to install XP, have to use external dvd/cd drive la. on HOW to install, google it. i know there are a few brave souls out there that has done it.

one question - when this promo ends, will the shop carry more Eees in malaysia? or Asus will start distributing it around computer shops?

1299 for a ultra mobile laptop - so nice, but i have to save up first liao...T_T
*
Actually im still wasnt sure after the promo end we still can order more Eee Pc to sell or not.
But will update if i received any news smile.gif

Yup , there are a lot of gurus out there.

I can help you out, 1.5% handling fee + postage to your door step  thumbup.gif
Since you have submited your contact number, I think seller would contact you
if he is going to sell off your reserved unit on Friday.
Else, I see no point for us to submit the form.
*
smart, this is whats the point of fill up the Pre-launch order form.
atleast we can keep track of the customer.

Yes, String is right. So everyone please do check out the system first before buying it cause you're not exactly buying what the masses call a standard notebook for RM1299.

Anyway I guess I'll see you there on Friday String, hopefully I can slip out of work to secure my unit. And Kok Wei still hasn't confirmed receipt of my fax after I have send it to him twice, 5 days ago, and right just now. if i had a scanner on me right now I'd just scan and email him the darn forms! wink.gif

Hi, im back!!!
