Don't you think that the screen is actually a bit too small? It's a good screen, bright and nice and the contrast looks great, but it's too small for my liking.

so how about the battery life? it can last for how long when always on wifi?

got!
web browser=mozilla firefox
office=open office
msn,ym=pidgin almost the same as adium on mac os
skype=skype

roughly 3.5-4 hours i think

wah lau..
today i will head to lyp from penang to see this laptop....
really cool....

Stevenlee, could you check the price for me? I would like to know the price of Asus 8G. Hopefully its already available in Lowyat.

u guys should check to find out weather any units available for sale or even demo, my last check showed mostly sold out for the 4g , and 8g not even released yet.

1 forumer is selling 4g version at 1499 check buy sell dept.

It stated 3.5 hours battery life. Im guessing that was with wifi on. If you decide to install XP, it will be shorter. XP use a lot resource

Wonder whether Digital Mall has it already or not?
Since it's nearer compared to LYP,was thinking to drop by to check.

digital mall got the model edi ,hehe

This little laptop got VGA output..can plug-in 22'in LCD monitor into it for better view(800x600)! So at home use LCD monitor,outside so laptop LCD haha...

btw, what is official pricelist for this little laptop?

make sure u keep your eyes on it when u r using it outdoors/cafe, thieves will be drooling over it, and it's so light they can take it and run a mile before they run out of stamina

that's the benefit of having a heavy ass notebook........they'll think twice before doing it

hmm price?

one question,

can we play FM 2008 on this gadget?

RM 1299? wow, is it for limited offer or the real price?

U mean Football Manager 2008?
Hmm.. i don't think you can play it on Eee PC.
Yes.
It is the real market price which provided by AsusTek Malaysia.

Any demo unit in your shop now (for us to toy around) ?

Do you carry 8G model ?

Confirm 1 year local warranty but 2 years ?

Thank you .

The demo unit is not available yet.
But will have it on the Pre-Sale day or before the Pre-sale day.

I got no news for the 8G model from Asustek
Only 4G will available soon.

Asustek only brought the 4G model into Malaysia for the Pre-sale.
They will have a Pre-launch on 16th November, then the Pre-sale will started on 1pm at my store.

About the Warranty is only for 1 year local instead of 2 years Global warranty.
