Any idea when they'll be widely available in stores ?
Current price is RM1499?

Thinking of getting it soon..

according to asus..should be available in january.

the price went up already??? i paid only rm 1299 on 16/11/07 at mtcs..

yeah i paid rm1299 for it too..

the 1299 is the promo price at MTCS.

also, who here runs windows update? how much space it takes?

i did.. takes around 200mb.. but then i deleted back the installation file inside windows folder.

hi... any 1 can tell me the good of eee pc?? the pc look like for kid education

is it safe to delete the windows update installation files???

yes.. however, you cant uninstall the update later if something goes wrong because of the update.

how ur XP boot up time? fast?

I tried mine with fully update all patches...it took about more than one minutes complete the boot up

(now switch it back to xandros)

My SD card slot was behaving weirdly yesterday night, it wasn't detecting the card properly and thus boot ups and stuff was very slow.

When it's working properly, boot up is fast.. i haven't timed it before but I know it's definetly not a minute.

And yes, I have all the updates installed too.

can i know why u all get eee pc rather than a notebook

is the transfer speed from the sd card fast? if does, you can use a 4gb sd card to expand the capacity. my 2 cents.

Where to get one at this time?

Go for the 4G or 8G?

Use internal SSD, average speed around 24-26mb/s

Use FlashDrive, Average speed around 6-12mb/s

Use Normal SD card (<2G), Average speed around 4-10mb/s

Use 8G SDHC Class6, Average speed around 15-16.8mb/s

Use Highspeed 2G MiniSD + Adapter, Average speed around 12-14mb/s

Use High speed flash drive (ie Corsair Yoyager GT Series), Average speed around 16-20mb/s (Cost a bomb)

the whole idea of getting an eeepc is to be a notebook companion and not to replace a notebook...

low cost rm1299 for ultra light weight portable notebook is the key.( its mid range mobile phone pricing too)

This asus remind me the first Toshiba tiny palm size notebook many yrs ago.

wow..great infor u got it here.

how much u got ur 8G SDHC C6? A-Data is cheapest on market?

Ok, something weird happened to my eeePC yesterday, the SD card reader didn't want to detect or read any cards. In fact, if I left a card in there during bootup, the system basically hangs cause the BIOS is trying to see if there's anything bootable in the card slot.

Windows would ask if I wanted to format the card, which I politely declined, after reinsterting the card a few times it finally came back to life again... but it's a weird issue to begin with.

You can just install it ler.. have to tweak. Mine boots pretty quick.. 30sec thereabout.
Installation size nlite'd including a bunch of apps --> 1.13gb which means got more space to add more crap compared with the default xandros

ic... im thinking to get a light notebook like sony vaio tz series but cost 7k.... since eee pc is so cheap... is that able to do those below task:

internet, open IE
listen mp3
watch rmvb, i love drama
microsoft office
msn, yahoo those chatting software

the most important, i saw the spec only got 4 or 8g harddisk... is that the eee pc can link with portable harddisk??
