Anyone notice that this notebook does not come with internal optical drive ?

I think every knows that. Haha..
Check the EeePC discussion thread.

yes, it doesnt comes with any internal optical drive.
but it comes with 3 USB 2.0 ports.
means you got to use external USB optical drive to install windows in it.
or copy other application into a flashdrive then install from there.

Hi Kok Wei,

have u received my form? Just sent it to u.

Kazasho kena rip RM200

Phew, I don't know much about technical thingy,
It would be fine to me, as long as windows can be installed by using external optical drive

I've received another 2 form.
I think u r one or them.

I have just come across the discussion thread,
He bought his one at RM1500 right ?

RM200 is fine for the price of being pioneer user 头啖汤，
What matter is warranty issue.

Was wondering whether the guy who was selling EeePC in Garage Sale would lower his price from RM1499 to RM1299?

Maybe. But his cost should be different from that of the official retailer. Lower perhaps. Since he got his stock from Taiwan or sth.

MTCS launching it on the 16th of this month. RM1299 only. Booked mine ady

My brother in law mentioned about the Eee yesterday but didn't think much about it until i read this thread this morning and found that the price below RM1.5K. Below link shows what the Eee is bundled with. Also a lot of videos at on Eee at YouTube too.

Now got thread for prelaunch at RM1299 which is half the price of my Dopod 818Pro when i bought it, me very interested in getting one as it is small and screen much bigger then my PDA and great for travelling. Can also use it to watch movie in the car.

The storage may be limited but i got a spare external USB HDD lying around collecting dust.

Since it got no IrDA and BT, can it be connected to handphone to surf internet via GPRS/3G at places that got no wifi?

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

since ur using a Dopod 818 pro, connect via activesync la

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?

aiya forgot got usb port. thanks anyway.

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.
Will update you guys once i got any news from them.

So wat number am I? Any chance of being out-reserved?

dont worry la, u r the first few guys who sent me the form.
but dun forget to come here early ah, later u queue at last then stock habis i also cant help u.
all those people will have the form too!!!

whats the max ram?
4GB? 8GB?
wanna this gadget run faster even they only use 0.9GHz
