My SDHC card is already larger than the built-in SSD. Going to see if the 16GB Patriot SDHC is available in Australia tomorrow.

I GOT A USED UNIT INSTEAD OF A BRAND NEW UNIT FROM MCTS for RM1299!

i am really angry now.....me and my friends bought 3 units.....my friends unit opens up to configure the user name and passwords and the time....mine just open up to the main screen.....

i check the wifi connection, there are already 7 connection inside previously....linksys and Di-524, airzed, timezone, indochine, charles something and a few more wireless AP....

there are also some history on the web browser, google, timezone and other URLs...

the battery on my unit is about 5% while my friends both got about 80% charge...

their battery was sealed (with celotape) but mine was opened.....

i wanted to check my unit before i signed the "Receive with Satisfaction" area but the sales person said, "nevermind one, it's brand new"

Hey bro, Pls let me know for further details,

R u purchase it directly or u ask somebody to pickup.
I can guarrantee all my stock is brand new, because it jz arrived yesterday late evening, and only taken out 2 units from the big box as our demo.
Please call to my office and let me know the serial number, so that i can check with the Disty what happen actually.
no worries, i wil solve it out for u/

Stringfellow,

Thanks for your offer but I'm ok.

Yes I admit that this is only one side of my story and I am waiting for Kok Wei for an explanation here (He was online when I posted my previous message). 

I don't mind having this unit but at least let me know that it is a used unit or let me check the contents before signing the form.  When I was there, there were less than 5 people in the line and I don't think switiching the EEE PC on and test on it's Wi-Fi would delay the whole thing. 

Anyway, I am in the process of restoring it to factory configuration, which means that I do not have anymore proof.

I'll let this go and if I offended anyone here, my sincere appologies.  I was red headed and I am calm now.

P.S. Kok Wei, I hope I get an explanation from you in this thread/PM. 

Thanks.

P.S.2 Previous post edited

bro, no worries,
But im jz wondering how come your unit got those D-link router and Airzed stuff..
because my company here is using the Airport Express, and it it not possible we test it out with such many of the wireless lan services.
If i found out that is the Opened unit, i dont mind to replace another brand new one for u.
Dont worry bout that, please call me, i will help u to check it out till the problem solve.
here is my number 016-208 6418

k0k_w31: thanks bro for your excellent and friendly service. Posting now using the Eee  smile.gif

Came back and wife already on the unit for an hour. It was hot! Its now on my notebook cooler.

Just connected it to my home wi-fi without any problems. Must say that i am happy with the screen. Connect to external mouse and on the spot it works. Good thing its not pure white like in the ad.

However the keyboard is small and not suitable for typing long documents.

And mine is new rclxm9.gif

P.S. my wife said you nice guy.

Feel so great after hearing u all very satisfy with ur Eee PC,
But yea, its abit hot if compare with others Notebook, may be the fan is too small.
anyway, anyone of you try to install other device which has no drivers like printers, scanners or camera?
This might be the next issue for the customers..

after reading four pages i just followed post #78 what "clevin" mentioned notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

1. all new eee pc

2. add/remove softwares, update skype (still 1.4)

3. download xandros build of skype 2.0 beta from skype.com, open file manager, install it

4. call up a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T), input "sudo echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/camera"

and thats it.

Make a call, then click video icon (blue) and click start video. It works rclxm9.gif I restarted and video still works, no need anything else.
